Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Heather Cologne (Вереск) EDP
A fascinating trip back in time, this is a love-it-or-hate-it scent that encapsulates a very specific era. Not for everyone, but a must-try for vintage enthusiasts.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Heather EDP
Heather is a budget woody amber-musk scent - a bergamot lift over blue cypress, precious woods, heather and warm amber. Cozy, grounded and unisex, it wears flatter and closer to the skin than its richer inspirations, leaning into a comforting woody warmth.
