Question:
Yeah - the big problem with Terre is that in cold or dry weather it falls flat because it's such an arid fragrance. It needs humidity to give it balls.

Answer:
wow, never thought about that but its completely true!
i've had days where i wore TDH and its so dry its almost stinging. the dirt and cedar notes just over power everything, and that piney note just reinforces it.
then there are those warmer days when you body heat naturally heats it up and the citrus sweetens the entire concoction and makes it this completely, natural smelling soft scent that is like a supplement to you natural scent, instead of covering it up, and just oozes of class.

Answer:
I love TdH, and I receive MANY compliments from women (and men) on the scent.
I remember a woman SA at Nordstroms telling me she wore it, she didnt care if Hermes wasn't marketing it as a unisex scent.
I also watched a woman smell it for the first time in a dept store nearby where I was standing and she clearly fell in love with it, when she sniffed it. I told her to go for it - she looked skeptical as to whether she could pull off a man's scent.
So, all of my experiences (in person) with women and TdH have been positive. However, I'm sure there are women out there that don't (on and off BN).
