This discontinued Guerlain gem has reached legendary status, creating a fervent, almost desperate following. It's a sweet, powdery iris-chocolate dream that consistently evokes strong, often ecstatic, reactions, making it a true 'holy grail' for many, despite some finding it too sweet or 'plastic'.

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.
