Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Grapefruit · Orange
Base Notes
Benzoin · Cedarwood · Patchouli · Vetiver
Opening with bright orange and grapefruit, Terre announces itself with crisp, energetic top notes that feel both familiar and inviting. These citrus accords set a warm, approachable stage for what unfolds beneath.
What follows is a sophisticated heart of black pepper, flint, and pelargonium—an unexpected mineral-spicy heart that adds complexity and intrigue. The pepper gives lift and personality, while the flint brings an earthy, grounded quality that prevents the fragrance from ever feeling lightweight or fleeting.
The base reveals the true character: vetiver, cedarwood, patchouli, and benzoin create a warm skin-level presence that lingers for 6–8 hours. This woody foundation is rich without being dense, romantic without demanding attention. Sillage is noticeable but measured, performing beautifully in mild to warm climates where the fragrance can breathe.

Terre delivers 6–8 hours of wear with noticeable projection, perfect for layering with Body Oil to extend longevity. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion. This earthy fragrance thrives in transitional and warm seasons. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
