What does Heritage smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure and night-out wear. Votes for feminine, classic and masculine character sit very close together, so it doesn't lean towards either gender.
The top notes, aldehydes and bergamot, give it a bright, fresh start. In the heart, jasmine, iris and frankincense add a floral, powdery softness with a spicy edge. The base builds the woody line from sandalwood, oud and cedarwood, with vanilla sweetening it slightly. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Iris Poudre and Bortnikoff Millennium Santal have a close profile.
