You never know how much you miss something until it's gone. Have returned to TDB and I still love it, which doesn't always happen. A brilliantly blended unisex fragrance by Lyn Harris of woods, herbs and spices. The fennel and juniper in the middle are the stars together with the lovely patchouli at the bottom. Lasts all day on me, spanking sillage and women love it -- there are no negatives. A brilliant creation.

This is an odd creation from Miller Harris, a fusion of interesting ingredients that struggle to find the balance required to give this a real identity. The opening is a robust affair, offering a brief herbal episode infused with citric character.Drying down, the blend becomes a little unbalanced and none of the elements make a strong enough impression to please. I did find solace in the forest floor earthiness that developed from the Vetiver presence, and it did finally begin to live up to it's name. Sadly, it never pleased me on sufficient levels to warrant a thumbs up.

Nice rich herbaceous citrus scent with warm woody undertones. Smells very classical and traditional, yet timeless and contemporary. Fresh, aromatic and understated.
It sort of beats me why there isn`t any citrus fruits in the note list. I could swear I get some lemon.

This is very comparable to many other classy rich herbal-citrus scents that includes those well known and much used woody tones.

Faraway from being anything groundbraking or original, but it`s a pleasant natural smelling scent to be worn anywhere, anytime. Very well made, although lasting power could be better. Definitely unisex.

Nice, it`s just not for me at all. Thumbs down beacause of the boring value for the high price.

Terre de Bois is an unusual creature for me. It's floral yet earthy yet woody yet cologny... I fully smell the florals on top. As it develops, I get the woods but it's really fleeting. It's not as powerful to my nose as I thought. As it develops, it becomes a floral vetiver and then a woody vetiver. Too bad it came and went too fast.

A lemony-herbal boiled sweet dipped in good chypre cologne. It's a wearable, moorish, almost addictive scent, suitable for both men and women (I love how it smells on my husband, but I also adore how it smells on me). Particularly appropriate for summer, but don't restrict yourself - wear whenever you want to be uplifted without having to resort to something eye-wateringly zingy.

Great fragrance, very subtle with almost 'smoky'aroma. I have the EdP. Altough the scent last, I wish it were a more potent.
