Heritage
Heritage by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and aldehydes, moves into iris, jasmine and frankincense and dries down to cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla and oud. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
