Heraud
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a grown-up gourmand vanilla that manages to be both comforting and sophisticated. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love deep, boozy, honeyed amber, though the longevity can be a bit of a touch-and-go depending on your skin and batch.
Heraud is a divisive gourmand. Either it's a perfectly balanced, realistic chocolate and dried fruit dream, or it's a synthetic, dusty, chalky concoction that's far too sweet for its own good. An acquired taste with a loyal following, but definitely try before you buy.
