A simple and inexpensive scent when I am in the mood for something uncomplicated and uplifting. It’s very woodsy.
I am a woman and I love it; find it to be a unisex scent.
Longevity is non-existent.
zModeler – :
I have the talc powder version. I guess it is the same smell more or less.
The smell is definitely vintage and classic. I would describe it as a cologne-ish scent.
It’s comparable or similar to my:
Fragonard Confidentiel
Nikyro – :
the price for this is dirt cheap. But the performance after 5 mins spray is a skin skin and fades away soon! exactky what you paid for a cheap performance, zero longevity.
facelifting – :
Citrus and Wood smells exactly like Terre de Hermes with less performance but also the price is 5 times lower then Terre De Hermes. Very masculine smell. This is worth giving a shot. This has the same notes as Terre de Hermes. I blind buy the bottle and I am satisfied that I bought this bottle.
pieglefly – :
Yardley is one of those brand names from my boyhood.
I still remember (very well) the McLaren M19 and M23 racing in Brands Hatch and Silverstone with the Yardley colours.
Peter Revson (from the Revlon family) won the British Grand Prix in 1973 driving an Yardley McLaren M23 in the circuit of Silverstone. Guys like Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, François Cevert, James Hunt, Denny Hulme, Ronnie Peterson, Jody Scheckter, Niky Lauda, Clay Regazzony, Jacky Ickx and John Watson were all in the grid.
An Yardley bottle (which one?) was the very first cologne I bought at the age of 11 years.
…..welll….
Citrus and Wood by Yardley is a magnificent Woody Spicy fragrance. I bought my third bottle last week. I have about 200 perfume flasks in my closet and what do I wear? …. Citrus and Wood!!!!
…. and by the way, I used to wear Terre d’Hermes with some frequency. The real issue is that they never sponsored McLaren or any other Formula One Team neither back in those days, nor in any other year.
The scents are really alike and the Yardley flask costs kind of 10 times less per ml or oz (13 times to be precise).
So I just follow my head and heart and now the Yardley scent took the place of Terre d’ Hermes. And my nose never complained with my head and heart decision.
Skylexx – :
Maybe there is a difference in the bottle manufactured in UK and the one done in UAE. Got the UAE one.
The opening is horrible .Dry-down (Orange) sandal note . Cant get any other notes mentioned here. Sucks
Dorcemarco – :
I will agree that this is very similar to Terre D’Hermes. I think the performance of Hermes is better, but for the price, Yardley is a winner. The scent is not too complex and stays pretty much the same from start to end, besides the citrus “blast” in the beginning. Lasts about 4 hours on clothes, and with my chemistry, about 3 hours on the skin. To be honest, I have only used this scent in the Winter thus far, so performance could change in the warmer months when heat and humidity will play a role!
malyshkin.lea – :
read my other reviews and find out if you (more or less) agree with my humble opinion(s)…
this one is indeed soooo similar to terre d’hermes…that i rather buy this cheapie…fact.
Spray on your clothes for better longevity.
8,5/10
profitex – :
Yardley is one of those brand names from my childhood. You bought their talcum powder as a gift for your granny! I hadn’t given the brand serious consideration since!
However, being very impressed with Terre d’Hermes after extensive testing, I did a lookup here to find close alternatives and Citrus & Wood was top of the list. I bought blind online.
I’m not disappointed. It really does open and dry down like Terre d’Hermes. That bitter citrus opening note is captured perfectly and the heavier earthier notes follow up the same.
I wish the longevity was better, however, the upside is that you can spritz this on generously without fear of being called ‘Mr Cologne’! And at a fraction of the cost of the Hermes original, being generous with the spray certainly won’t break the bank.
A fun fragrance and strongly recommended.
olegxxx – :
It’s a Terre of Hermès with less performance but 5 times cheaper.
Up to you to decide.
ekaterin2512 – :
I’m enjoying my third bottle of this fragrance….99.9% similar to Terre ‘d’hermes and slightly airy with amazing performance at extremely low cost of $12 for 100 mo. This is just marvelous and my signature scent.
Anela30585 – :
Şu günlerde Türkiye de Gratis mağazalarında 35 tl ye bulabileceğiniz parfüm. Burada yazarların büyük bir bölümü bunun TERRE Hermes e çok benzediğini yazmış. Ancak ben bir benzerlik bulamadım. Terre de portakal turunçgiller çok bariz bir üstünlüğü sahip bunda ise durum farklı. Ancak çok benzediği bir Hermes var o da Hermes Voyage. Pek parfümleri birbirine benzetmeyi sevmem ancak buradaki benzerlik çok açık. Hem Terre yı hem Voyage ı bununla 3-4 defa karşılaştırdim ve açık ara Voyage a benziyor. İşin ilginç tarafı Voyage edt den daha güçlü parfüme ise yakın bir yoğunluğa sahip. Kalıcılık çok güçlü değil. Ancak beni asıl şaşırtan bu daha keyifli bir kullanıma sahip. Voyage ise özellikle ilk başlarda benim “yagli gibi” dememe neden olan bir havaya sahipken bu daha fresh tarafa yakın. Aradaki fiyat farkını söylemeye gerek yok. Bence bu fiyata çok başarılı. Voyage dan 1 yıl sonra piyasaya verilmiş ve açıkçası başarılı bir taklit olmuş. Ancak halen bunu onlarca kişi nasıl Terre ye benzetiyor anlamış değilim. Çünkü alakası yok.
kraftler – :
Yardley’s Citrus and Wood is a fantastic affordable scent and is (IMHO) a hidden gem.
Well blended, lasts 3-4 hours on me, and reacts well to heat, especially if you are out and about. I’d recommend it for transition periods of the year (Autumn and Spring).
Citrus and Wood gets compared (understandably) to Terre d Hermes. Although quite similar there are some distinctions.
Longevity on TdH is better but at 3 times the price that is to be expected. Citrus and Wood is a little more restrained, it also is more linear. The Orange note from TdH is substituted with Lime, but, to be honest, if I smelled either on someone else I would be hard pushed to tell the difference.
I got a boxset with 50ml Edt and 200ml Shower Gel for £16.95 (around $22 for friends across the Atlantic) and is an absolute steal for that price point.
As dubairob states in their review buying the toiletries line is a great way to compliment either Citrus and Wood or Terre d Hermes fragrances (the later’s toiletries line is criminally overpriced in my opinion) so can save you some money.
Excellent!
Mookencouch – :
This is turning out to be a fantastic scent…. Amazing smell, good projection and longevity and at on fifth the price of Terre d’hermes …. it’s a signature worthy scent. I just love this one. 10/10 from me.
BlueNeuck – :
It smells like Citrus and Wood:)
And yes a clone of hermes but extremely cheap version however this scent is not bad but actually I like it a lot. It so suitable for daily use masculine woody smell. Longevity is not su much but keep the half of the day.
Especially for that price definitely it should try and wear.
TreJ0 – :
This is a wonderful scent that exudes calm, maturity and class. Subtly refreshing and a gem for its price alone. Call me selfish but I hope less people find it
yura58 – :
I just got this and as a woman, I love it- I’m a big cedar fan as well as citrus and this is just the right combo with out all the fluff usually associated with womens cedar scents.Not in the notes but to me it’s got a very marine quality-salty air and a little seaweed smell….my new favorite
maksimka8000 – :
I was very, very impressed with this fragrance initially, it goes on strong and really is full of Citrus and woods as the name suggests.
Sharp citrus opening which is neither lemon, grapefruit, bergamot but then slightly orange too. The balance is added by Cedar, vetiver and birch smoke, hint of spices in particular ginger and oakmoss, which had me thinking I’d found a real masculine gem in Yardley Citrus and Wood.
The main problem comes when it doesn’t even last an hour on my skin,
before it just goes ‘poof’ into the ether, leaving nothing behind.
I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to performance but I can’t rate a fragrance that is this poor on longevity, no matter how good the opening is.
Sorry this gets a thumbs down from me.
zle667speagoessenda – :
Excellent quality, staying power and projection. Not expensive – a great fragrance and a stunning bargain!
ENABLE97 – :
Princ Charles’s signature scent. And he can wear whatever he wants!
Dayron – :
What a glorious summer fragrance! Harsh lime and vetiver opening, tart, dry, almost medicinal, quickly moderated and enriched by luxurious cedarwood. Nice birch and oakmoss notes, too. Longevity is moderate, 5-6 hours on my skin (and more on cotton shirt), sillage is quite strong in the first two hours. Pleasant woody drydown, with a drop of bergamot oil. Very affordable, it doesn’t feel cheap at all! Recommended.
Доктор72 – :
i am a woman and i wear this all the time i find it very hard to find a good mix of citrus and wood….and womens fragrances are always laced with vanilla or something sweet
desmond17b – :
For those who really enjoy Terre d’Hermes, I would recommend the Yardley Citrus and Wood deodorant spray and talcum powder to complement the fragrance nicely. They are essentially the same fragrance as the original Hermes and both are good products.
I have tried this Yardley EDT but unfortunately the performance is poor for me. I’ll still stick with TdH as an EDT. (As an aside, I am going to finish my bottle of TdH and not replace it as I am noticing it all over the place here in Dubai. Just way too popular.)
Katmir – :
Man, I really like this stuff. It smells pretty close to cedarwood essential oil. Not as strong and abrasive, but its there. Terre D’Hermes has that too, except more blended with something like violet or something. This is a slightly purer cedarwood. I had this before Terre D’Hermes, so I actually prefer it to it. I have to say that both of these are in my top 10 though. I’ve gotten lots of complements from women with both. I don’t think this stuff would be for everyone though. Its not an aquatic, so its not really sporty or anything. Its woody and light though, just with some sophistication. This is a scent of a man. Not a younger man who isn’t mature yet. This is a mature scent without being old. Mature, sophisticated, non-offensive. Absolutely, not synthetic. Very woodsy. If this scent works for you it will work well, if it isn’t your style I’d pass. It’s definitely for me.
FelixSerg – :
I found this online for a very cheap price as part of a gift set. I checked the reviews on here and noticed that one person likened it to David Beckham Homme.
Homme to me is an extremely underrated scent that actually got me started in collecting fragrances and to this day it remains one of my favourites and I can totally see when that one person said it was similar.
The opening citrus blast is almost overwhelming, painful even but fortunately that harshness only lasts for a few seconds, then it immedately settles down into a delicious scent.
I dig this one, a lot! Decent longevity and silage for the price.
Get on it.
Yura962 – :
Undoubtably this is a Terre d’Hermes smell alike from the first sniff.
It opens with a very beautiful, dark and tart vetiver note that sings a perfect duet with the citrus and made me close my eyes and inhale deeply. As it progresses it mellows down but never stops reminding me of a simpler TdH, the eau fraiche edition. Gone are the flint aspect, the strong sillage and the monster longevity of TdH as this wears much closer to skin. Not a bad thing though as this has a natural feel about it that makes it a “feel good” scent. One of these rare and often inexpensive gems that put a smile on my face (RnG vetiver was another one). The drydown is mossy and slightly musky but still retaining a sweet citrus character. Best news about it is that since it is much cheaper that TdH it offers itself up for abuse and overdose 😉 Love it, wish it came in a bigger bottle!
Sumarok – :
Had to add a quick Christmas review, what a great Christmas gift this one turned out to be, hate to say I turned my nose up a little when I saw it, but wow what a cracker. I have to agree that the drydown does share a lot of similarities with Hermes. Having revisited this I will be using this a lot more then the last bottle, which for some reason is way off the new one. Gorgeous lime opening, love it..
Mig088 – :
As i haven’t tried Terre des Hermes, I am not able to say whether they smell alike. What I can say is that C&W opens with a sharp, alcoholic blast of lemon that within the next 30 minutes evolves into an extremely pleasant, refreshing drydown with birch, vetiver and sandalwood.
It’s a very pleasing allround scent for adult (30+) fellas that can be used for work as well as leisure time – only be aware you shouldn’t use this as a refresher in betweens meetings – or your colleagues will think you’ve just downed half a bottle of gin until the drydown settles 😉
I really like this little cheapie, though the “standard” bottle with the paper label does look really – well, cheap!
Sillage is medium/OK, but the longevity rather poor – I get a max of 3 hours from this baby.
A recommendation for Yardley should be to give it some steroids, make a long lasting intense or EDP version and stuff it into a somewhat more classy bottle. They could easily double the price, and I would still be buying it.
al31kv62 – :
Nattonline.
The logo used by Creed that you mention is the heraldic French symbol, the “Fleur de Lys” meaning “lily flower”. This has been used across Europe for centuries and, thus familiar to most people living on our continent.
The symbol that you refer to on the bottle for this (Yardley) fragrance is the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales, made up of feathers and a crown of alternating crosses and Fleur de Lys.
The two badges (the other belonging to the British monarch) on the bottle indicate that Yardley supply products to both of these royal households. Companies using these coveted seals will have had to go through a rigorous process in order to be entitled to use either of them. I’m no royalist by the way!!!!
I’m waiting for delivery of a bottle as I write. At under £10 delivered from Amazon, it’s worth a go to satisfy my curiosity. Incidentally, Yardley have updated the packaging to look more contemporary, sophisticated, and befitting of the contents (and put the price up!), but original bottles are still available.
Well, it’s arrived and after an hour, still going strong! It does smell extremely similar to TDH EDP and nicely tamed by the addition of birch. Well worth the blind buy. A true bargain, so another visit to Amazon, I think!
bazel57 – :
Exactly like it’s name is suggesting, this is a woody citric fragrance. After owning this and Terre d’Hermes for a while, I can say that they share some similarities, Yardley being more synthetic and dry and it lacks the creaminess and richness. Also, the orange is substituted by lime.
If you want a cheaper version of Terre, this is one. But beware, it feels synthetic and it performs worse.
Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 5/10
Projection: 3/10
bars – :
To start we have a lovely opening of lime and bergamot nicely blended. Then it gets more potent, woody and soapy with great sillage – it’s a very pleasant long lasting drydown. Yardley have produced a gorgeous EDT here and it wasn’t expensive – a very good purchase – nice bottle and packaging too. I tried Terre de Hermes at the airport duty free and immediately thought “Yardley Citrus & Wood”. A gorgeous frag and a bargain. Never mind the price, this is up there with the very best – a gem.
ozs178JeomiWogkig – :
Very similar to both Terre d’Hermes and Montale Red Vetyver. Also very similar to Roger & Gallet L’Homme Sport.
The name sums it up very nicely: you smell citrus and woods. Though the simple and effective name doesn’t quite describe how masterfully they are blended. Simple and amazing, a deep green scent. Smells excellent quality, especially compared to its price. Or should I say, regardless its price.
I’m a woman who loves orientals but has to find something fresh for the summer, and men’s scents such as this are just what I need for summertime. However I must add that the woody notes give it enough depth to be used in colder weather, too. Longevity is also much better than you would expect of a citrus scent.
rizvan – :
So similar with terre but terre is more vivid, you can smell orange and grapefruit in terre so easily, terre has vivid orange and grapefruit. Yardley is not same with terre but you can make them so similar with adding some orange and grapefruit oil into Yardley. Then there is yours cheap terre d’hermes :))
Polinochka – :
I agree very much so with the previous commenter, I blind bought a bottle of this, think it cost me £7, what a revelation. Zesty and woody, worked nicely with the chemistry of my skin. Smells fairly expensive, didn’t last amazingly on, but for how much it costs it doesn’t really matter. I wonder had Yardley branded this differently, maybe under a different name how would it have done. Yardley’s history of Lavender and Soap does not help. Great fragrance all round.
dears – :
Well – what is this…Yardley? I find your bar soaps to be fair (and classic) when I can grab one at the Dollar Store. But, this bottle of juice is something else – entirely. I give you a round of applause. I read some other online reviews of this and went blind on a bottle as it is relatively inexpensive.
Very, very natural smelling! I love how the citrus has a soft and warm element with the wood immediately – there is no sharpness here. Wonderfully smooth and harmonious.
The notes don’t lie – there is Birch wood in here (I know – I used to work in a wood shop). The warmth of the amber enriches the base here so nicely with the cedar and sandalwood. Nice pinch of pepper – not overly done. This is truly as ‘advertised’, Citrus & Wood. A slight touch of moss, but just enough (a dash is perfect here and, honestly, an unnecessary but very welcome addition).
A solid scent, but it is one you need to be close to, or on the skin to admire. Longevity…fair, about 30 minutes in and this is fully integrated and it lasts for several hours on skin, but not loud. I am going to the back of my hand repeatedly – nice, very nice. However, I would have to say that it wears so naturally that if it was full of synthetics to make it last a little longer, it would lose all of its ‘au naturelle’ goodness. I like it, as is.
This is a great little creation (a hidden gem that is talked about more now – finally, as I got my bottle in very early 2012, soon after it was released). One that will wear in warm weather nicely as it develops…I think this shines at 75 degrees or warmer and radiates more. But, it smells awesome and warming on a cool, crisp winter day – so wear it whenever. Surprised me more than a little – even though the other reviews (by people whose noses, know their scents) brought me to buying this a while back…cheers!
fxjfm – :
What a deceptive scent. Don’t let the mundane name, packaging and bottle fool you, this scent has substance, even depth. It is cheap but doesn’t smell cheap. It smells zesty and fresh with citrus that gives way to a lovely leathery/wood dry down. Admittedly its sillage and longevity are mild, but it’s a deliciously calming and rejuvenating fragrance and well worth a place in any collection.
fisher-34 – :
I like the opening of Citrus and Wood more than the TdH opening. Where they differ is TdH has that clay/earthiness to it in the dry down. Citrus and Wood turns into a dry woody vetiver type fragrance. What this reminds me of is a mixture of TdH and Creeds Original Vetiver. Mature and masculine without smelling “old manish” or outdated.
Gerlaves – :
smells like nail varnish. if it smells like terra d’hermes, im going to save my money by not buying it. I just don’t like the smell at all, its just so boring.
vardanyan – :
just like hermes terre but more than 10 times cheap
babdit – :
The ironic part of our little hobby, is the variety with which we perceive the same thing. I have always read reviews ,but am not really influenced. If I can afford and most times I can, I will buy a fragrance that is said to be like another I may know and judge for myself. This now is another classic example. My nose is not as cultured or to the extent some claim their noses to be. For those of us whose noses are not, I say go for the gusto with this scent, you are missing a lot in not getting it and you are gaining a classic. A ton remains in your pocket and you will be noticed wearing this scent.
VaseliskGame – :
As I die-hard niche perfumery fan, wary of wandering anywhere below Serge Lutens, I got the surprise of my life today. A friend asked me to accompany her in a pharmacy, of all places, and there it was – the perfume I’m going to drown in all winter, with a 15 euro price tag! A-ma-zing perfume, I sprayed it heavily on me, my clothes, and every piece of paper I carried with me, I’m in love! When I see quality, I know it, and this marvel has it. I’d love to wear Terre d’ Hermes too if it were available in my country. Oh, and I’m a girl 🙂
Nikolashka – :
One of my favorite parfume is H’ermes Terre and this is really like it. Not bad but not good enough, only positive side of it, more cheap than Terre. But can’t be the same.
4,37573E+11 – :
Did not like it. it is cheap and smells cheap. Does not smell fresh to me. start and a middle gave me headache, a single nauseous vibe. The base is ok though. I would rather have a single splash of Kenzo Homme and this one goes for my shoes. be careful with this perfume, it is not for everyone.
pashu177 – :
Residing in an olfactory bubble of citrus and wood, or is it wood and citrus. Drying down nicely, keep cupping my nose in the residue of my palm, always a good indication. Not going to be evening romancing on this, but would do something active and productive…might even go into the workshop having been invigorated by its after shower freshness and mingle it with the scent of worked iron and sweat. Could equally enjoy it at the end of a days travelling in the heat after that first shower in a gem of a hotel, replacing the staleness of the day, on a small arid Greek island as the crickets begin their nightly chirp. Then I am joined by someone beautiful at the bar overlooking the moon lit sea and I was wrong, romance is in the air and the soft rythmic swoosh of sea on sand is the perfect foil for the scent haze and the contrasting smell of my new companion.
BIM1977 – :
The dry down is identical to M7 Fresh.
I put M7 Fresh on my wrist with Citrus and Wood on my arm. After 20-30 minutes, I was unable to tell any difference at all.
skysnoop – :
*I do not have a nose that is well trained – this is my rudimentary opinion of this scent*
Exactly as the name says, this smells like citrus and wood. A very nice scent that projects well for a good 4-5 hours and hangs around on the skin for several hours after that. This is a very versatile cologne that I think could really be worn on any occasion – formal or casual, work or play, day or night. In the cold weather it may not get noticed too easily but going with a couple extra sprays should help a bit.
I’ve only had the opportunity to wear this a couple of times but one of those times was back home in the kitchen with my mother preparing dinner. I was sitting at the table and she passed by to snatch up a plate, she stopped dead in her tracks, leaned in and exclaimed how absolutely fantastic I smelled. She’s a fan of masculine scents – not one who likes a man wearing sweeter scents like A*Men. To quote my dear mother, “Wow, you smell amazing! Wear that and you’ll get yourself a nice little chick-a-do.” Gotta love her =)
The kicker, I got it for a quite nice price, ~15 for a 1.7oz bottle. I’ve looked to pick up an extra bottle to keep on hand but I can’t seem to find it anymore for nearly the same price(only a couple of weeks after I got my first bottle), wonder what happened to it?
jackal6233 – :
If you like the idea of Terre d’Hermes but it is too sharp or has too much iso e super for you, then this is the one to make sure and sample. I’m not a big fan of this kind of scent, preferring more complex and smoother ones, but I don’t find anything “wrong” with it and I look forward to sampling it again during the warmer months.
kulyn – :
Terre D’Hermes’ younger less-accomplished brother. Very nice for the price, but doesn’t replace the beast known as TDH in anyway! This is the temporary fix to the cloud-nine high provided by TDH! Overall a good scent though!
Do not misunderstand – this is NOT a bad review…simply noting that, although it does smell similar to TDH, it will not replace it simply because of the price tag. Shame it only comes in 1.7oz. If you find it at your local bargain store, do not hesitate to buy it! VERY SAFE BLIND BUY!
Enjoy.
UPDATE: Ended up ordering 3 more as backups…I REALLY like this scent!
sasha.zvonarev2011 – :
I am amazed by how closely this resembles Terre d’Hermes EDT. What a beautiful scent and at such a low price, wow. Sillage is moderate but longevity is actually pretty good, more than I had expected. Most definitely worth the money!
PessWhipPhove – :
I love this perfume! On a side note: it really resembles Terre D’Hermes a lot. Both Yardley and Terre are great scents. I love both! The biggest difference between them is that, Yardley’s most important note is BIRCH. Before Yardley I did not know I love this note. Birch with vetiver… Everyone should try this great scent! Also has a rather good price tag, and for that price, you will not find many well blended scents like this!
aliali75 – :
My girlfriend really liked Terre D’Hermès on me, and I like it too. I’ve been looking for a good deal on TDH but I couldn’t really find it, until I stumbled on this by suggestion. I think I can safely blind buy this, looking at all the reviews before me. Especially with the bergamot and the woody basenotes!
niguackignags – :
Wow I’m so impressed with this blind buy all most to good to be true Ive spent up too $350 of all times and as low as $25 for the most unique perfumes I spend allot of my time reading and testing perfumes for men i have a large collection of fine perfumes and now excited to to share with you that Yardley has earned a a spot in my top five list.This juice is hrs and some from the start to the finish three good sprays.Once this juice hits the main stream look out!!And yes if you like Terre d’Herme’s you will love Yardley
oblivskaia – :
This was a blind buy and I was worried that it might smell like lemon funiture polish. However considering the low price and the very favourable reviews I decided to give it a go and was very pleased with my purchase. What you get is a very refined and very classy smelling fragrance. It may be a ‘cheapie’ but in no way does it smell like it. Essentially it does exactly what it says on the bottle in the fact that it smells of both citrus and wood. Not a particularly helpful statement you may think, but it delivers exactly what it promises and that is never a bad thing.
vtarasovstr – :
Gets up my nose.Doesnt soften after wearing into the sexy beast that Terre D’hermes is.
I suppose this is o.k for office wear but I find it too linear and on me it has gone in an hour.
Like one of the previous reviewers I purchased from that famous U.K discount outlet.
I also bought the shower gel which helps with longevity but even with this it still needs more lasting power.
Glad I didnt pay full price a bit too peppery for my liking.Might be donating it to a “favorite” uncle sometime in the near future.
Out of 10,all round, a 4.5 from me…
Irishechka – :
Uncanny. Uncanny the degree to which this fragrance offering from Yardley resembles so nearly the heavyweight that is Terre d’Hermes. Unbeatable too, in the price department. For anyyone who has expensive tastes, but not the money to indulge, try this alternative as it is so close to the aforementioned fragrance as to be positively plagiaristic and yet so affordable.
A low cost winner in all senses (excuse the pun).
wishgy – :
Cheap, lime , birch, inexpensive TDH, nice smell, i like it
I like it better than TDH. i have them both. this is more woody, and not so heavy
edu728intitytek – :
I bought this one blind from Marshalls around a month ago. When I 1st smelled this one I knew I smelled this before so I went through all of my samples and ahaa….. Terre D’ Hermes. I’m not a fan of Terre D’ Hermes, it’s just a little to harsh for me. For anyone that wants to save around $40-$50 go with this instead of Hermes. I don’t dislike this scent, it’s just not my style.
chepochka – :
The best men’s fragrance from Yardley. Refreshing. Makes you feel good. But the fragrance does not last long.
UnioniHaH – :
I bought this for $8 @ tj maxx the other day as a blind buy because it was so cheap and I love woody fragrances with light citrus. This is a great smelling little fragrance. It’s really sharp and to the point on opening. I smell the citrus immediately…more like grapefruit with lime and spicyness. It settles down to a crisp vetiver/bergamot combination that smells very very good. It doesn’t last very long on me… maybe a couple hours at most but at 8 bucks, who cares? I bet it will last a lot longer in the hot weather. Oh, I’ve never smelled Terre de hermes but I get a much lighter Encre noir on the drydown, maybe its the vetiver and wood.
GTA5bleatb – :
Terre d´ Hermes? Yes, but minus patchouly.
Tobi805 – :
Really, this is the twin-brother of Terre d’Hermes. For lovers of Terre that have a small pocket, this is a great option.
pharmacologist – :
By the way, this is a great spicy and earthy smell. I put it on when I’m wearing brown or if I’m feeling environment friendly. Very natural, out-doorsy, and deep. It’s not your everyday freshie aquatic predictable fragrance, this is more along the lines of Terre D’Hermes.
МЫкола13 – :
Found this in TJ Maxx a few weeks ago. They were having a huge fragrance sale. I wondered why something so recently released was at such a discounted price? I bought two w/out even smelling it. I love the Yardley Sandalwood powder so I took the risk. It’s a good woody scent with a citrus note that I wish were more tangerine than orange. I have worn it twice. Women seem to like it. I also use it to scent my bedding. I hope this scent helps to push Yardley further into the present frag market.
Musurmon – :
Hmmm… Is that the same logo on the box that can be found on Creed? Anyway, I have been a fan of Yardley soap products for a long time, and it’s no brainer not to get this fragrance when I saw it at a bargain (Gotta love TJ Maxx!)
Yes, I get a similarity to Terre d’Hermes too. The obvious differences that I can think of would be the Yardley is more simple and more about clean green lime while Terre d’Hermes is more complex and rich in orangey notes. Plus, I get a lot more of bitter vetiver than heavier cedar. It is fresh, invigorating, strong, and can be a little sharp. Nonetheless, it is nice and very inexpensive for what it is. I welcome it 100% to my collection.

The title alone made me buy it. I found it at TJ Maxx and decided it was time for something new, and this sounded so interesting and fancy… Yardley in London! How fancy does that sound! Anyway, it smells quite like Terre de Hermes as others have pointed out, but a little more noticeable (not that subtle is a bad thing). I like this frag, it’s a great, unique addition to anyone’s collection.

Well it opens with a sharp burst of piney lemon elemi. like inside a strange new dresser drawer piece of furiture. That’s what you get. I’ve smelled this before some where and can’t place it. It’s driving me crazy. Like medicine. I will look upon this bottle with much trepidation,fear, and apprehension every time I see it in my collection.
