Highland Heather

Which Should You Buy?
This legendary fougere has become a mythical beast due to its discontinuation, with prices bordering on the absurd. Is it worth tracking down? It's a classic for a reason: bold, fresh, and unapologetically masculine, a benchmark for the genre that still holds up. Don't fall for the hype prices, though.
A divisive Jo Malone offering, Highland Heather is either a beautifully aromatic, masculine-leaning delight or a bit too soapy and 'dad-like' for some tastes. If you fancy a stroll through a Scottish forest after the rain, this could be your jam.
