The Terre d’Hermès collection offers two new H bottles in limited editions 2018

The Hermès house first began its history as a Parisian saddler and harness maker. If the equestrian world has always remained intimately linked to its history, it has gradually transformed, making it possible to make sets of luggage, fashion accessories and, more recently, perfumes. Today, Hermès offers a wide range of fragrances. Nevertheless, one of the most famous of them is called Terre d’Hermès. This iconic juice is available in the form of an Eau de Toilette and an Eau de Parfum . Today, these two complementary essences are offered two new bottles signed by Cyrille Diatkine.

Terre d’Hermès, a strong fragrance of symbols

First of all, let’s start by discussing the general philosophy of Terre d’Hermès perfumes. If these juices have been so successful, it is quite simply because they release a universal message. They are inspired by our founding material: earth. From then on, they materialize the image of a man standing, facing the elements, in full possession of his means. Terre d’Hermès immediately appears as a source of appeasement but also as a compendium of power. Terre d’Hermès is a journey, a crossing of the elements that invites us to rediscover the richness of our Earth.

The two variants of Terre d’Hermès

The first version of Terre d’Hermès appeared in 2006, in the form of an Eau de Toilette. It was then a woody and spicy juice, offering us all the riches produced by the earth in one and the same breath. Terre d’Hermès Eau de Toilette begins with a citrus cocktail dominated by grapefruit and orange. This digest of gaiety then continues with a more mineral scent. Pepper and pink berries come to heckle the whole and give it more impertinence. A vegetal scent of geranium and patchouli reinforces the elegance of Terre d’Hermès Eau de Toilette. Finally, the whole is wrapped in benzoin and vetiver.

Then, in 2009, Hermès decided to reinterpret this juice to make it an Eau de Parfum . More luxurious, this composition displays a rare density. The power of citrus fruits is accentuated by shiso while the mineral accord of this composition is also reinforced. The woods, on the other hand, have been somewhat stripped.

When Cyrille Diatkine reinterprets the famous Flacon H d’Hermès

The real revisit of 2018 is actually the visual of the Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum Terre d’Hermès bottles. The latter kept their original silhouette but were reworked by Cyrille Diatkine. It must be said that Hermès no longer seems to be able to do without his talent and never stops calling on him. Here, he simply integrated oblique and silver lines on the walls of the Hermès H bottles, echoing the play of cloud images. The Terre d’Hermès collection therefore offers itself a new symbolic narrative, a journey imbued with strength and poetry, this time sublimated by a master of design.

The 2017 Terre d’Hermès H bottle reveals its urban and contemporary look

It was in 2006 that the Hermès house created one of its greatest perfumes. Today, you are no doubt familiar with the iconic Terre d’Hermès. Also, on the occasion of each new year, it reinvents itself aesthetically, delivering us a limited edition bottle. The year 2017 has therefore not escaped the rule and Hermes comes to this as we unveil the new visual of the bottle M . More urban and graphic than ever, it nevertheless contains a fragrance identical to that initially created by the talented Jean-Claude Ellena. So, let’s take a closer look at the new design of this woody and spicy staple of men’s perfumery.

The new look of Terre d’Hermès

The 2017 H bottle from Terre d’Hermès is unveiled in a resolutely urban version. This one takes again the graphic line of the conquering skyscrapers of a powerful city and as suspended between the sky and the earth. This time it is decorated with lines that stretch and intersect as if to shake up our vision of perspectives.

Everything plays brilliantly on our optical sense, making us discover a new vision of the city at the bend of a boulevard. However, the initial details of the Terre d’Hermès bottle have been preserved. Thus, the H Bottle contains the Hermès saddle nail, silver metal at the level of its shoulders, a sliding cover and an orange imprint on its base. It also retains its iconic H shape allowing it to reveal its luminous glow in a real burst of masculinity and virility.

Hermès employees

The new Terre d’Hermès bottle from 2017 was developed in collaboration with the British designer Nigel Peake, a well-known personality of the Hermès house and who likes to offer a look of “city dweller who grew up in the countryside” in the world. world of fashion. Nigel Peake is not his first collaboration with Hermès.

In addition, we already owe him colorful and dynamic works following the urban universe of Milan and being declined in a collection of Hermès scarves. Also, it is precisely this free and unstructured spirit that it has shown on the emblematic Flacon H de Terre d’Hermès. On the other hand, this container has kept the initial shape of its beginnings, as for it developed by Philippe Mouquet. It must be said that this designer seems to have always been linked to the house of Hermès.

Indeed, he began his career by doing an internship there at the end of the 1980s, when he was a student in applied arts. This earned him the award, two years in a row, in the competition for young designers organized by the Colbert Committee.

Since then, it has been a real pleasure to discover his creativity in all Hermès sectors, whether it is leather goods, watches, cuffs, ties or bottles. The 2017 H Bottle thus appears to be a compendium of the creativity of these two renowned inventive characters.
