Eau de Toilette

Daniel Hechter Caractère Eau de Toilette is a classic masculine scent with a green, woody and leathery chypre-fougère character. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a distant last. It suits daily wear, the office and evenings out. More than half of voters call it masculine, and a good share find it classic. It opens with bergamot, lemon and artemisia, fresh and green. In the heart, carnation, jasmine and basil add a floral, spicy softness. The base settles into leather, oakmoss, cedarwood and castoreum, earthy, animalic and woody. Dior Jules and Weil Kipling have a close profile.

Caractère de Femme

5.7

Daniel Hechter · 2002

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Daniel Hechter Caractère de Femme is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built around jasmine, freesia and rose; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that figure is only a rough guide. It is written for women. Jasmine, freesia, rose and lilac form the floral core. Aldehydes add a bright, clean lift, while musk and vanilla leave a soft, lightly sweet base. Citrus, aquatic and green accents keep it from feeling heavy, so it reads airy rather than dense.
