Which Should You Buy?
This is a rich, warm, and comforting amber that has achieved cult status. It's garnered a passionate following who cherish its natural depth, making it the benchmark for amber scents, despite its baffling discontinuation.
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.
