{"product_id":"hermes-terre-d-hermes-eau-de-toilette-gift-set-bts280178","title":"Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristmas and birthdays are where Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette Gift Set does most of its work, and the reason is simple: this is a fragrance men actually wear rather than one they politely accept. The scent is short and well made. Grapefruit opens it, dry and bitter with the rind doing the work rather than the juice, which gives the first minutes a clean, slightly abrasive brightness. Cedarwood lies underneath, dry and splintery like newly cut timber, and it holds the citrus in place for hours longer than it would last on its own. That contrast is the whole fragrance, and it is why the thing has never gone out of fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no sweetness anywhere in the composition, which matters a great deal when you are buying for somebody else. Sweet fragrances divide people sharply, while a dry citrus over dry timber offends almost nobody and suits almost every age. Boxed, it solves the wrapping and the card and the question of whether it will be liked at all, and at eau de toilette strength it is the version most men find easiest to live with from one day to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect clear presence for the first few hours and a dry finish that carries into the evening, in summer as readily as in winter. If he already owns a bottle, a spare is no waste, because this is a fragrance that gets used up rather than displayed on a shelf, and nobody has yet complained of having too much of it in the cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThierry Hermes set up as a harness maker in Paris in 1837, and the house has passed down six generations of his family without changing hands. Its fragrance work began in 1951 and continues under the same ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermès","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53290420797767,"sku":"BTS280178","price":90.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts280178.webp?v=1770409314","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/hermes-terre-d-hermes-eau-de-toilette-gift-set-bts280178","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
