What does Hekau smell like?

The top of bergamot, blackcurrant, lemon, pineapple and neroli gives a fresh, fruity, citrusy start. In the heart, lavender, osmanthus absolute and immortelle absolute move it toward floral and green. The base of myrrh, ambroxan, musk, styrax and tolu balm settles it onto a sweet, creamy, resinous and woody ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a few people have voted, so these ratings are a first impression rather than a firm verdict. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and suits those who like fresh and sweet in one bottle. Creed Aventus for Her and The Dua Brand 18 Shades of Bigarade have a close profile.
