What does Heroïque smell like?

The top is apple, bergamot, blackcurrant and pineapple, so it opens fruity and bright. In the heart, Moroccan jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch, while patchouli and birch bring a green, slightly smoky edge. The base of musk, amber, teakwood and Bourbon vanilla sweetens it and settles it on a woody footing.

Most voters read it as masculine and pick summer and spring above all, for leisure and daily wear, with office use close behind. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Mazzolari Nero and Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Pure have a close profile.
