Heritage Eau de Parfum
The quiet confidence of a well-worn leather-bound book on a polished mahogany desk, where crisp green notes give way to the rich depth of patchouli and sandalwood.

The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1992 by Guerlain, Heritage Eau de Parfum was crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain as a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. The composition opens with bright aldehydes and citrus notes that give way to a heart of lavender, clary sage, and green notes. These fresh elements are balanced by warm spices like pepper and coriander, leading into a rich base of patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, and musk. The blend is both robust and refined, reflecting the brand's tradition of using luxurious materials.
Apply Heritage Eau de Parfum with two sprays — its top notes are vibrant but short-lived. The heart and base notes develop over time, so wearing it close to skin allows you to experience the full depth of the composition.
