Take A*Men and remove the chocolate note and add a dose of orange note and you got Terre D'Hermes

[change1]

While wearing my sample of Terre D'Hermes for the 2nd day in a row... I realized that Terre D'Hermes smells like A*men without the chocolate note and add the orange note... that's what I get out of Terre D'Hermes... do you get the same?

[hednic]

Not at all for me.

[chili_willi]

Not at all for me.

Purely my opinion... I am a fan of Terre d'Hermes but to me A*Men smells like liquid garbage.

[Jridgen]

I don't see any similarities personally. Take a men, take out the heavy tar opening, take out the patchouli and the creamy gourmand qualities in the dry down, add vetiver, dirty citrus notes, flint and a touch of pure earth. You have taken everything that is amen out of amen and now created terre d'hermes. But you can do this with any two fragrances that are opposites.

For the record ill take TdH.

[uhbhatti88]

Patchouli. Terre feels like A*men in cooler/colder weather, when (I've noticed) the patchouli in it becomes more prominent. In summer Terre is nothing like it. In fact it's nothing like any other thing I've smelled.

All said, I'll take TdH over A*men anyday. Smooth, natural, versatile. And fills you with confidence.

[TheBuyer]

Not to me. Own and love both of them.

[TJMAC]

No way. That's an insult to Terre d'Hermes.

[CityFan21]

I don't really see the similarity, but to each their own.

[jamwires]

I find A*Men far more unique and interesting. Both great scents though. Dont see much similarity.

[tdwctdwc]

Based on your analogy, all scents would be similar to other scents in a way or another .

So i don't agree with you .

[dollars&scents]

I don't really see the similarity, but to each their own.

this ^^^^^^^^^

[pawful]

I can't see this comparison at all

[heperd]

No........
Also, do you get a quarter for every thread or something??

[Indie_Guy]

No.

[dreamer81]

Maybe but you'd have to remove more notes than chocolate from A*Men.

[CHSeifert]

No freakin' way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jack Hunter]

A scary thought I'm glad I dislike both of these.

[VanAllan]

I don't see any similarities personally. Take a men, take out the heavy tar opening, take out the patchouli and the creamy gourmand qualities in the dry down, add vetiver, dirty citrus notes, flint and a touch of pure earth. You have taken everything that is amen out of amen and now created terre d'hermes. But you can do this with any two fragrances that are opposites.

While I love Terre d'Hermes, I very much dislike A*Men, so my short answer is: no way !

[mesaboogie]

On a similar note, if you take the tobacco and vanilla notes out of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille and replace them with pineapple and smokey leather, it would smell just like Creed Aventus.

[MrAndySais]

Either OP has a bad nose or is just trolling?

[Ozjon701]

Don't see it. I do wonder though that if you took the oud out of Pure Oud and substituted coffee what that might give you??

[petruccijc]

Please do not drink and sample fragrances.

[chrisbar1104]

Please do not drink and sample fragrances.

Hehe, I agree. Not such a good combination.

[Ken_Russell]

Not really, maybe only if the chocolate note is taken away and, aside from orange, much more vetiver is added

[Matkinson]

Sorry, Not at all...

[del]

Not to me. The thought didn't even cross my mind until I read the thread title.

[Renato]

Take the chocolate note out of A*men, and you are going to have something that smells a bit like B*men.

I tried A Men Pure Shot yesterday.
After 10 minutes or so, it reminded me strongly of TdH.

I don't find much similarities between regular A Men and TdH, though.

[Oupavoc]

not to be have both and enjoy both. Its interesting how every nose is different :P

[sameerbraa]

Hey man.....I totally see this.....I know it was hard for me to believe at first but i TOTALLY agree with you
Its like amen without the vanilla, creaminess, harsh note
Terre dhermes is like orange mineral with a little bit of amens drydown

[fragrance123]

Not even close, I like A*Men, TDH is boringgggg

[Daze]

You're kidding right...? April Fool's? Please...

[Jridgen]

For the record ill take TdH.

For the [updated] record two years later I do not like either of these fragrances now, but this thread is weird.

[sameerbraa]

you dont like terre dhermes? why is that?

[CHSeifert]

Not even remotely close

[FSU92grad]

and if you take the Aldehydes, Spices, Pink pepper, Sandalwood, Tobacco, Violet, Vetiver, Juniper, and Cypress notes out of Chanel's Sycomore, does anyone else get "water"?

Maybe it's just me...

[sameerbraa]

haha loll....Maybe its just me that gets it ........ it a faint similarity but it is there

[anewtypedude]

Take A*Men out of the box. Now put Terre d'Hermes in the box, and now you have Terre d'Hermes

[musky_monkey]

Take the chocolate note out of A*men, and you are going to have something that smells a bit like B*men.

To my nose, B*Men is a stripped down version of A*Men.

[BeyondTheBox]

I find A*Men far more unique and interesting. Both great scents though. Dont see much similarity.

Reverse this for me and agreed, nothing alike at all, not even close. But I've seen and made worse comparisons. Lol
