Its modest projection and clean profile make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, though it's not a statement-maker. It lacks the modern appeal for dates and the gravitas for formal events.

About

Heather opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of green notes, like crushing fresh grass underfoot in a damp meadow. Soon, soft, slightly abstract florals emerge, lending a delicate, almost melancholic sweetness that blends seamlessly with the herbal, slightly medicinal scent of heather. The dry down introduces a gentle woodiness, with sandalwood providing a smooth, creamy anchor to the verdant and floral heart, leaving a clean, powdery trail.
