Terra Bella

Upon smelling Terra Bella, my thought was "This smells familiar.. wait a minute..." HERMES Concentree d'Orange Verte! It is the l'eau or lighter version of d'Orange Verte, which is my favorite. The difference is that Terra Bella doesn't have the bitterness of the orange peel CdOV has. It feels lighter, transparent, airy, crisp and delicate. Terra Bella, which in Italian means Beautiful Earth, is absolutely unisex. -AB-

Mez0Nez pretty much said it all, wet earthy humid citrus, sour, detecting very slight greenish peppercorny notes I'm assuming are attributed to the myrtle, the cypress is beautiful to contrast, reminds me of a glass of orange juice in the morning (has a solar effect, very bright, slightly mineralic) on sand dunes, warm sand, not that's smelled but the place it transports you to, wonderful memories in a bottle

Started off being a refreshing citrus scent then the next minute there’s the cypress rushing up to try to take over. The two notes take turn leading for a while, in the meantime, myrtle’s no where to be seen. A rather likable perfume, even after taking the price tag into consideration. Yes, there are some similar cheaper perfumes out there and then there are also similar more expensive perfumes out there. The price for this performance per ml is not considered overpriced for me with the large 250ml bottle in mind. There are even discounters out there from the other reviews. In fact I don’t really like the price value vote here on Frangrantica at all. Perhaps it should be changed to price per ml and let the viewers decide for themselves if it’s worth that price. If the viewers are purchasing at different prices how can they give the same rate on the value of the perfume? With price per ml, maybe the viewers can ‘see’ the average price and compare it to what they actually paid for their bottles. Same perfume, if one get it at $50/ml will definitely rate on value differently than another getting at $75/ml.

This is a mature cologne, think of like a Gucci Guilty Cologne style very heavy on earthy herbal cypress that I usually hate but gets balanced out by an airy orange blossom that lifts it up and keeps Terra Bella from being a dark green. Pretty simple overall nothing too crazy but I can really appreciate and even like it despite usually hating cypress fragrance, it performs ok it’s about average and doesn’t project very far but ig if you had a fb that wouldn’t really matter too much.

I don't get much orange blossom. It's mostly a tart orangey citrus with a hint of green and a sprinkling of herbs. It's a refreshing blast up front, but dies down rather quickly to a bland, flat clean musky thing. Agree that it's hard to hate it since it's utterly inoffensive, but certainly not worth its price tag. You can get an Hermes or Roger & Gallet citrus cologne for a lot less.
