Which Should You Buy?
This is Guerlain's undisputed masterpiece. A classic that remains both timeless and polarising; a blend of old-school charm and modern sophistication. It's not for everyone, but if you get it, you *get* it.
This perfume is a delicate whisper of iris and vetiver, divisive thanks to its intimate projection. Don't expect a powerhouse - it's a skin scent for those who appreciate understated elegance, though many find its elusive nature frustrating given the price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Heritage isn't an everyday casual scent; its refined, woody-aromatic character and strong longevity make it more suitable for formal events and romantic evenings. While some find it office-appropriate in small doses, its complexity leans away from a relaxed, sporty vibe.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and clean, office-safe accords make it ideal for close quarters like the workplace or a casual setting. While it's too subtle for a formal gala, its cozy nature could work for a quiet, intimate date. It's definitely not for sport, as it would be lost against any exertion.
