What does Heron Preston (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

The top opens with Italian bergamot, orange blossom, rose and Brazilian palmarosa, with spicy notes sharpening that bright entry. In the heart, tonka bean and hay absolute join rose absolute, sweetening and softening the scent. The base turns warm with vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood, while leathery notes and birch smoke add a dry, smoky edge to that sweetness. A green accord keeps the citrus and florals in balance. Its character sits close to the classic fougère line; Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme and Chanel Boy have a similar profile.
