PowderyWhat does Héritage (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Lavender, bergamot and lemon give it a fresh, citrusy start. Pink pepper and coriander add spice in the heart, while vanilla, patchouli and tonka bean sweeten the base and set it on a woody, powdery, earthy footing.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Fall comes first, with winter and spring close behind and summer well back. Evening, night out, daily and business wear draw similar votes. Most voters find it masculine and classic.
