Terre d'Hermès is a men's fragrance launched in March 2006. It was composed by Jean-Claude Ellena, then Hermès' exclusive in-house perfumer, who took his inspiration from the writings of the French author Jean Giono. WWD reported that Ellena built it as a 'vertical' scent of mainly vegetal and mineral notes and deliberately left out musk, which he said 'creates a mask on the skin'.

The composition leans heavily on woods, with Atlas cedar alongside grapefruit, orange, flint, pepper, pink peppercorn, geranium leaf, patchouli, vetiver and benzoin. The name, meaning 'Earth of Hermès', was chosen to recall 'the beginning of everything', according to Hermès Parfums chief executive Véronique Gautier. The bottle was designed by Philippe Mouquet, who also designed belts, gloves and watches for Hermès, with metal shoulders, a base cut into an 'H' and a sprayer modelled on a Hermès rivet.

The scent won the 2007 FiFi award for men's luxury fragrance of the year. A Parfum followed in 2009, also by Ellena, and later versions, including Eau Très Fraîche (2014) and Eau Intense Vétiver (2018), were made by Christine Nagel.
