Cocktail Hour

7.2

Hart + Hedi · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Hart + Hedi Cocktail Hour is a fresh, lightly sweet unisex scent in which citrus and green tones come first. It opens sharp and bright with lime, pink grapefruit and fennel. In the heart, juniper, elderflower and aniseed add a green, mildly spicy note. In the base, tonka bean softens and sweetens the scent, while frankincense and ambrette leave a woody ground. Longevity and sillage both rate as moderate, so it leaves a close, noticeable trail rather than a loud one. Its fresh character suits everyday wear. Guerlain Homme (Eau de Parfum) and Frapin L'Humaniste have a close profile.

Coastal Fever

6.6

Hart + Hedi · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Hart + Hedi Coastal Fever is a fresh, floral unisex scent that suits spring and summer days, and sits most comfortably in leisure and everyday wear. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, with few choosing winter. Leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine, as votes split between both and modern. The top carries Kimberley heather, honeysuckle and sea breeze, opening with an aquatic, green freshness. In the heart, boronia, blue cypress and Australian mimosa add a soft floral note. The base of false sandalwood, oud and Santalum lanceolatum leaves a woody, lightly sweet finish.

Hedi's Garden

6.2

Hart + Hedi · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Hart + Hedi Hedi's Garden is a fresh, floral unisex scent in which gardenia, citrus notes and violet lead. It opens with gardenia, citrus notes and violet, while rose, linden blossom and geranium carry the floral heart. Vetiver, blackcurrant and cedar settle underneath, giving it a green, lightly fruity and woody base. The overall impression is fresh and green, with a touch of sweetness. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though only a few people have voted on them. Voters place it mostly in daily wear, leisure and business settings, with evening and night out further behind. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Ultime and Laura Biagiotti Roma Uomo Green Swing have a close profile.

House of Hart

6.7

Hart + Hedi · 2024

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Hart + Hedi House of Hart is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance that ties cinnamon, yuzu and Australian rose to the resinous warmth of sandalwood. It opens with cinnamon, iris and yuzu, bright and citrusy with a spicy edge. In the heart, Australian rose, cardamom and cocoa come forward: the floral side softens into spice and cocoa, and the scent turns sweeter. The base of Australian sandalwood, labdanum and Sumatran benzoin settles into a woody, powdery, resinous ground. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so those readings are tentative. Most voters point to leisure, daily wear and the office, and it can also be worn in the evening or on a night out. Godet Folie Bleue and Diptyque Volutes share a close profile.

Rock + Roll Circus

6.7

Hart + Hedi · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Hart + Hedi Rock + Roll Circus is a unisex scent that sets a floral, sweet body against spice, leather and resin, with an animalic edge. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. It is chosen most for leisure and evening wear, with night out and business not far behind. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. The top holds broom, hop and gardenia. In the heart, Australian lavender, patchouli and tobacco lead, and the base dries down to myrrh, Bourbon vanilla and leather. The floral sweetness settles onto a woody, earthy ground. Calaj Metaphore and Prin Nocturnal Poetry have a close profile.

Some Velvet Morning

6.9

Hart + Hedi · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Hart + Hedi Some Velvet Morning is a unisex perfume built around bergamot, jasmine and red champaca, softened by myrrh and Australian sandalwood.

The base of myrrh, Australian sandalwood and white musk leaves a resinous, woody warmth. The accords read fresh, citrusy and floral, with a sweet, oriental backdrop.
