Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Heritage

Guerlain Heritage EDP is a classic masterpiece that divides opinion: some find it profoundly elegant and timeless, while others dismiss it as dated. Prepare for a sophisticated journey into old-school charm that's a true love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Our Verdict - Highland Heather

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Heritage

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office

While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its sophisticated and rich woody-spicy profile, coupled with moderate to good performance, makes it best suited for formal events and dates, rather than casual or sporty settings. It’s certainly not a 'beast mode' scent for the office, maintaining an air of refined presence.

Highland Heather

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Its moderate sillage and 'cologne' performance make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events. Reviewers often mention wearing it during autumn or for gloomy days, suggesting it's versatile for everyday scenarios.
