Terre d'Hermès EDT Vs Parfum Fragrance Review: A Surprising Contrast
While these are ostensibly the same formula in different concentrations, we also find some other differences.
[00:40] Part 1: Composition
The main differences between the two is that the EDT is zestier, with more of a traditional orange flavour to it. Arguably, the EDT is less refined, but we have found that it performs similarly, perhaps even better than the Parfum.
Meanwhile, its Parfum counterpart is oilier, deeper, further towards the bitter, grapefruit end of citrus. Afterwards, it goes more into an incense and sandalwood character.
We're looking at around a 15% fragrance concentration for the EDT versus 30-40% for a Parfum. To learn more about fragrance concentrations, check out the article linked above.
However, you can see we have good reason to be surprised by the wake and strength, projection and longevity of the EDT. In our experience, it has been as good, if not superior to that of the Parfum!
The batch number of the EDT, Paul's second bottle, is 4LBAE, while the Parfum is DDAAP.
[02:09] Part 2: Seasonality
A quick caution from our experience with these fragrances: don't buy a 200ml version blind!
For Charles-Philippe, these are milder month scents: spring and autumn. On the other hand, Paul prefers these as winter fragrances, conjuring mulled wine & clove-studded pomanders.
[03:47] Part 3: Feedback
Though we haven't had negative feedback on either, fragrance community discussions place the EDT as zestier & more alive. The Parfum, in contrast, leaves a more mature, well-rounded impression, a more intense experience overall.
[04:19] Part 4: Impressions
For men in our age range, late twenties and early thirties, the EDT is perfect. Meanwhile, the Parfum is suitable for a more mature gentleman as its depth may lend sophistication and subtlety. Although, a younger man might opt for Parfum in more refined settings, such as business professional settings and formal functions.
When the Parfum came out, Charles-Philippe was 18 and thought it was a fragrance he would want to wear when he gets older.
We find the Parfum's profile very refined and sophisticated fragrance, while not overpowering. Therefore, a man in his 40s and beyond could definitely benefit from this scent.
This parfum came out when Charles-Philippe was 18, and for him it was an aspirational fragrance. He smelled it and thought, "this is what I want to wear when I'm an adult." However, nowadays he smells it and still doesn't quite feel ready for it.
As far as formality goes, an older accountant or lawyer could pull off wearing this to work in the cooler months. Otherwise, it's an excellent formal evening fragrance, a "black tie in a bottle."
Onto masculinity, the oily grapefruit head, earthy patchouli and sandalwood with benjoin add up to a conventional masculine character.
[05:54] Part 5: Presentation
Because we enjoy the EDT and it's cheaper at $165 USD for the larger 200ml size, it's a better value for money for us. However, if you need the sophistication of the Parfum, $220 USD at 200ml, that will be a good value for you.
The bottles and packaging are essentially the same for both fragrances.
[06:41] Conclusion
We hope you take away from our video that different strengths of the same fragrance might represent distinct characters! Therefore, don't buy big bottles blind, even if you enjoy another concentration of that scent.
Both are fantastic fragrances, but CP & Paul both feel that the EDT fits them better at their age. Meanwhile, the Parfum is a better fit for a more mature gentleman.
REMEMBER to comment! We'd love to hear your thoughts on this fragrance as well as similar smells, how it can be layered with others and when you'd wear it!
Yours,

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!
An amazing content, thanks for your video guys
Yes! I've been looking forward to this review! I'm watching now! :D
To me, no matter what the temperature, as long as the sun is shinning, its a good wear!
Totally agree. I had that with Habit rouge de Guerlain too, I much prefer the eau de toilette .
The parfum lasted for 36 hours on me. Close but almost constant projection, perfect for white collar work
That's interesting! We didn't get the same performance. However, 100% agree that it's ideal for the white collar worker!
36 hours! Holy Moly!
@@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! 👀
@@aunmuhammad3229 pure parfum. Doesn't project as much but it hangs around
@@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
The EDP hands down for me. Much smoother and stronger.
Great review, thank you !
And thank you!
The Edp is a more rounder fragrance, more "complete" but both are a bit nauseating. I personally prefer the Intense Vetiver one. Nice video.
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!
@@Bespokeunit I will! :D
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 ...
Very interesting!
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.
Great review!
Thanks, Fran!
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.
We love both but like you said, the EDT can be quite zesty
Great channel.. glad find it out... subbed 👍👏
Thanks, Mehdi! Much appreciated and we look forward to your future comments!
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.
Prada l'Homme is pretty good and maybe more suitable for a 24 year-old man in a suit. But I personally prefer Hermès!
@@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!
@@PerfectlyFreedom You totally get it! Nice one.
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
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
@@BlokeBritish agree! are you based in Bombay?
@@dualityofnature yes mate . and u ?
it's parfum not edp
Had EDT before finished the bottle, got 200ml EDP , EDP better than EDT , edp is much smoother and long lasting also so refreshing.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, EDP tend to be stronger and longer-lasting than their EDT counterparts.
good review
Thank you!
Parfum has less alchol... which should explain the lack of projection in comparison with the EDT.
Indeed, this is a very good point! I suppose that would explain a longer longevity too.
Best,
CP
I purchased the EDT after watching this review...don't regret a bit. I get complements the minute I enter any room.
Very glad to hear that we helped you find a new fragrance and that it was a hit!
Rafael
Sweet video
Cheers!
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.
Good summary. We had a very similar experience!
Yo can dress this fragrance up or down, polo and jeans? Go for it. Tank top and shorts? Not so much
Agreed
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.
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
@@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.
To me both versions are gorgeous
Fair enough!
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.
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
@@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
So the EDT is pre reformulation now u need to make a comparison between the 4LBAE 2014 batch and a new 2018/19 batch EDT
Our written review was made using an EDT from 2018 and we found that they were very similar. Have you noticed any major differences?
EDT is the King!
Agreed!
Yesss
Wow nice channel. Surprise not enough subscribers.
Many thanks! Indeed it's a slow process but we're getting there.
Rafael
i like both a lot but somehow the EDT is better
Judging by the comments, it's a surprisingly varied opinion! Some prefer the EDP while others, like you, like the EDT!
Terre D’Hermès does not make an edp in this version, they make a Parfum.
Did we accidentally say edp at one point? Apologies if so
@@Bespokeunit Ha ha honestly I don’t remember, I don’t believe you did. I think I was just commenting to others who keep referring to it as EDP. Sorry about that! Great channel.
@@snortchgortch4253 Oh, right! No worries! And thanks!
i smell tere hermes and feel like im in the luxury woody house
Sums it up well!
*B-UNIT*
Love it! 😂
Smell like stale orange... I dont like. I returned it to the store
Was that the parfum?

@@aac21911 oh, wow. People usually say that about the parfum !
