Terre d'Hermès EDT Vs Parfum Fragrance Review: A Surprising Contrast

[@RichMitch]

The parfum lasted for 36 hours on me. Close but almost constant projection, perfect for white collar work

[@Bespokeunit]

That's interesting! We didn't get the same performance. However, 100% agree that it's ideal for the white collar worker!

[@danielsan3681]

36 hours! Holy Moly!

[@RichMitch]

@@danielsan3681 It's a long time, Daniel San. I was *unnerved* by it's sheer lasting power, if it had lived for much longer it would have become self aware! 👀

[@RichMitch]

@@aunmuhammad3229 pure parfum. Doesn't project as much but it hangs around

[@RichMitch]

@@aunmuhammad3229 if you want a scent trail, get the edt. The parfum is much softer but it lasts forever! The edt still lasts well but projects

[@chippytucker6318]

To me, no matter what the temperature, as long as the sun is shinning, its a good wear!

[@beneaththesound]

Great review! I've been using the EDT for a few years now, but I've been curious about how it compares against the EDP. I love the EDT, and I'm glad to now know how different they are. Thanks guys!

[@JC-hu3yj]

I first bought the EDT at the boutique in 2020 after comparing both EDT vs Parfum. EDT lasts slightly longer, but I regretted it soon after. It’s just too zesty for me, so I bought the parfum version and loved it!!! Parfum is smoother, more close to your body, and more “calming” for me. EDT is just too strong for my nose for some reason.

[@Bespokeunit]

We love both but like you said, the EDT can be quite zesty

[@Tyronieus]

The EDP hands down for me. Much smoother and stronger.

[@messagedeleted3526]

Bought the EDT a few weeks ago for a bargain, and on the first spray I just couldn't stand it. After a few weeks, I decided to come back to it and its so fresh and clean. The projection isn't that great, but performance seems to last a few hours. Need to try EDP version sometime.

[@BlokeBritish]

projection isnt great ??? unless my bottle is very different to urs, i dont see how thats possible. i find the projection to be excellent if not beast like. of the many fresh scents ive tried including niche, this 1 gives me the most satisfaction in performance. the lovely grapefruit + incense whiffs just seem to never stop and it doesnt matter what season i wear it in... and I dont find this behaviour in the other 2 variants

[@dualityofnature]

@@BlokeBritish agree! are you based in Bombay?

it's parfum not edp

[@danielsan3681]

From what y'all said, I think the Parfum would suit me personally better. Thank you both so much for sharing your thoughts with us. :)

If you do grab some, please let us know what you think of it!

[@danielsan3681]

[@steliosc.4686]

The Edp is a more rounder fragrance, more "complete" but both are a bit nauseating. I personally prefer the Intense Vetiver one. Nice video.

[@r_x004]

I purchased the EDT after watching this review...don't regret a bit. I get complements the minute I enter any room.

[@Bespokeunit]

Very glad to hear that we helped you find a new fragrance and that it was a hit! Rafael

[@VLAD_P_]

I own both these & also eau tres fraiche ... i layer eau tres fraiche with either one of these & it works like a charm. Gives it more projection & better performance ...

[@Bespokeunit]

Very interesting!

[@wckkee7]

I prefer EDT version as it is more suitable for me even i am 50+ My friends around me prefer the EDT when i wear this during meeting.

[@Z2Z72Z2]

Had EDT before finished the bottle, got 200ml EDP , EDP better than EDT , edp is much smoother and long lasting also so refreshing.

[@Bespokeunit]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, EDP tend to be stronger and longer-lasting than their EDT counterparts.

[@mrpurple33]

Parfum has less alchol... which should explain the lack of projection in comparison with the EDT.

[@Bespokeunit]

Indeed, this is a very good point! I suppose that would explain a longer longevity too. Best, CP

[@dorf2070]

On my skin the Edt has much better sillage/projection than the Parfum. The Parfum is long lasting, but has low sillage/projection. It also lacks the air between the layers which the Edt has.

[@Bespokeunit]

Good summary. We had a very similar experience!

[@xuancong1998]

An amazing content, thanks for your video guys

[@PetrucciFever]

To me both versions are gorgeous

[@Bespokeunit]

Fair enough!

[@GauthierChateau]

Totally agree. I had that with Habit rouge de Guerlain too, I much prefer the eau de toilette .

[@Imperceptible_parachute]

My experience generally is that EDPs tend to become a long-lasting skin scent vs the further-projecting but less persistent EtOH-based EDTs. The TDH EDT, to me, smells like dirty oranges on good days and fish sauce on bad ones. I like the EDP a lot more, though they share the orange base. I much prefer the orange + wood + oakmoss of the EDP vs the orange + vetiver + pepper in the EDT. I think it's the orange + pepper combination that doesn't appeal.

[@Bespokeunit]

Hi Dan, Thanks for your input, it's much appreciated. It's interesting to hear that you prefer the Parfum. Fish sauce, though??? 😂 Best, CP

[@Imperceptible_parachute]

@@Bespokeunit I should say that I was referring to a good quality fish sauce! Truth be told, I only get that initial accord when the EDT is concentrated on my skin and I smell it straight-off-the-skin; so I was being a little harsh. I do like the EDP though and the TDH Eau Intense Vetiver is very wearable too, but a little generic. I think the most appropriate wearing age-range is 30 years+ ... but I was born in the 60s ... Overall the TDH fragrances are worth trying, but I'd recommend getting a sample of each first and wearing them on the skin a few times. I find the EDP stays closer to the skin, which I prefer in certain environments, including some situations at work

[@PerfectlyFreedom]

Need to break the tie between which one I should buy between Terre D'Hermes EDP or Prada L'homme for formal/special occasion. Still need to break the tie lol, hope I'd make good decision. Nice review btw! *Edit* being 24, I think I know what I should pull off more suitably.

[@Bespokeunit]

Prada l'Homme is pretty good and maybe more suitable for a 24 year-old man in a suit. But I personally prefer Hermès!

[@PerfectlyFreedom]

@@Bespokeunit indeed, there's something you adore but you're just not ready for it yet. Can't wait to be 30 to pull it off!

[@Bespokeunit]

@@PerfectlyFreedom You totally get it! Nice one.

[@SirHargreeves]

Interesting that you say Prada L’homme is formal. I use it at home to myself after I’ve been in the shower and wear clean clothes.

[@danielsan3681]

Yes! I've been looking forward to this review! I'm watching now! :D

[@-bd3nl]

Hi . but if I shoot 2 shots of EDT each side of the neck, it is as if it becomes an EDP then it increases sillage and longevity ? Ok ?

[@Bespokeunit]

I like the thought process but it doesn't quite work like that. Your second spray will still contain as much alcohol and aroma compounds as the first so the blend stays the same. And before you go boiling a bottle of EDT to reduce it, bear in mind that it's often a similar albeit very different blend.

[@MehdiScent]

[@BlokeBritish]

i like both a lot but somehow the EDT is better

[@Bespokeunit]

Judging by the comments, it's a surprisingly varied opinion! Some prefer the EDP while others, like you, like the EDT!

[@patrickbennett439]

I like the orange thing its got going on,, yes its expensive, yes its sophisticated and all that. SO to save money and to be a bit more everydayish, i wear some mercedes silver, its got the orange thing but smells more like dunhill icon that terre, but if you know a semi cheapi thats like more like terre id like to know it.

[@Bespokeunit]

Hi Patrick, We'll check Mercedes Silver out. As for a cheap equivalent to TDH, nothing springs to mind I'm afraid. All the best, CP

[@patrickbennett439]

@@Bespokeunit WIth the silver, the drydown is what is good, the opening is alright but its slightly confused or something, but thats for like 10 minutes and then it all comes together to make sense or something like that.

Did we accidentally say edp at one point? Apologies if so

Rather inarticulate review. Given that and the comments, it sounds like this is a direct comparison one needs to make personally, so this really wasn't that helpful.
