Athenean
Athenean by Heeley is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with green leaves and galbanum, moves into fig, tea and melon and dries down to amber, musk and sandalwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Green Leaves Crushed stems and fresh leaves. Snappy, sharp and outdoorsy.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Heart
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Tea Tea with no variety named. Dry, slightly tannic and calm.
- Melon Soft, watery sweetness. Often paired with aquatics.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
