Esprit du Tigre
Esprit du Tigre by Heeley is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with camphor, peppermint, spearmint and mint, moves into cardamom, clove and black pepper and dries down to vetiver and cinnamon. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Camphor Cold, medicinal and sharp. The chest-rub freshness that clears the air.
- Peppermint Icy and sharp. Reads clean but can tip into chewing gum.
- Spearmint Softer, sweeter mint. Less medicinal than peppermint.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Heart
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
