Heritage

Absolutely beautiful and very classic scent. Truley reminds me of a luxurious skin cream or even super clean smelling detergent or something. Since I considered Heritage a more feminine fragrance once id recieved my (ELEVEN DOLLAR) 2ml sample vial, I was positive my mom would love it, but oddly enough she HATES IT! lol. Im thinking she's ultra sensitive to the Oud note bc she says it smells "Off putting like BO" which shocked me bc I experienced the polar opposite. Thing is that although I detect ZERO OUD in Heritage, as a collector Im probably just more accustomed to smelling Oud but my mom is NOT. She let me do a couple tiny spritzes on her hand and she literally GAGGED and proclaimed "It smells like dirty armpits!!" Sufficed to say she was actually sorta pissed off at me bc Id insited she try it on skin.. 😯.. Sorry Mom! Lol. I still feel Heritage is absolutely stunning and if it weren't REDICULOUSLY PRICED, id probably purchase a full bottle. Imo FDB's -Heritage is a gorgeous, long-lasting and although it does lean a bit feminine, a Clean smell is universally appealing, but again that $400 PLUS pricetag (on friggn' discounters mind you) is just RE-DONCULOUS! No can do Fragrance Du Bois, NO CAN DO!

After reading the reviews, prior to trying it, I was expecting that it would be a trip down memory lane with the soap smells of years gone by. The opening did not disappoint. I got a whiff of ivory soap and maybe some Camay, but this is mostly just the aldehydes. This is not a fragrance that is meant to impress. Instead, I think it has a more Proustian goal--to let the fragrance evoke memories of simpler times, without all the hoopla and fireworks. The other notes come into play fairly soon after the opening and grow in importance as it heads into drydown. I can see wearing this after a bath at home as I prepare for bed or an early morning workout. This house has some powerhouses, but this one is about nostalgia and comfort. I can see why some do not like it, but it is different from most of what is on the market now. Glad I tried it, but won't be getting a full bottle.

I smelled all of what they had on display in Selfridges (before I enquired about price, lol) and Heritage immediately jumped out of the crowd. It's effervescent and so different (in a very positive way) I was instantly drawn to it. I do agree with the previous reviewers who said it smells like super luxurious soap. It does. But it also smells like 'old money' and class and sophistication. I'd say it's closer to Amouage Dia Woman than to Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama. Pikovaya Dama is more creamy aldehydic while Dia is sparkling aldehydic and to me, Heritage smells like something fizzy and happy. I didn't really detect oud, but lots of aldehydes, great quality iris butter and incense,I think. Plus the mixture of the other notes. I think it smells spectacular and I definitely want it. But first, once my samples arrive, I'm going to test Heritage and Dia side by side.

The pinnacle of soapy powdery scents (besting even Pikovaya Dama) is this offering from FDB that most closely replicates a vintage Camay or Lux soap bar, something that I absolutely craved to bathe in as a child. The scent opens with aldehydes, bergamot and orris. The heart is mostly jasmine, rose, slight tuberose and incense. The perfume settles on a powdery base of cedar, vanilla, sandalwood, synthetic musk and real oud. The feminine leaning scent has moderate to strong projection and excellent longevity. Absolutely a must try if you are into powdery, vintage floral aldehydes. Very nostalgic of opulent days gone by. Enjoy!

If you're looking for the ultimate soapy scent, this perfume is the pinnacle. I know £595 is a crazy price, but if you buy this perfume, you can throw away every other soapy scent you own. This is the most luxurious soapy scent I've ever smelled, and both its longevity and projection are absolutely beastly. Before buying this perfume, I did wonder — is it really worth spending £595 on just a soapy scent? But that doubt turned out to be completely unfounded. It's absolutely worth it, and the best part is that I constantly get compliments from people around me about how amazing I smell

When you wear “Heritage” , you’re sending a clear message to the people surrounding you that says “take me serious” The soapy effervescence of iris wrapped in aldehydes can only be described as the equivalent of bathing in heaven, submerged in the purest aromatics, in the celestial presence of angels. Heritage transitions from sparkling citruses, sophisticated iris and aldehydes into a heavenly woody base, dominated by the creaminess of sandalwood. This fragrance delivers glamour, and fine velvet tuxedo. One of the greatest perfumes I own.

its my all time favourite of soapy scent perfume. like the other kind of soapy scent, its a classic modern type of perfume that reminiscent freshness, clean, and luxurious. you can pull it off at almost all condition but i preferably pick on upscale situation that need you to look formal (or casual too).

I love this scent as a daily wear in warmer months. It’s such a light, airy, soapy, and luxurious scent. However, $750 is a crazy price to pay. Chanel’s Misia is nearly identical for the same effect at a fraction of the price, but it does lack a bit of the polish that Heritage has.

Something is in this fragrance that smells like an African traditional soap called "soda soap"🤔 or maybe my nose needs fixing 🤷 overall seemed to be good luxurious soapy scent and the dry down is incredibly nice.. But I'm not really into this scent as it doesn't really catch me😕

Absolutely stunning fragrance! It smells classy and expensive. If you think about classic French parfumerie it is Heritage Perfume de Bois .

Fresh and Clean soapy...nothing more. But a beast performer.

This fragrance is a clean girl scent, in my opinion. It's quite similar to Deviant by Wesker, but with a shorter longevity and projection. Deviant, I would say, keeps the powdery notes, loses the iris, and has a cherry and lipstiky notes tht make it quite seductive. Heritage is powdery, soapy and takes iris (orris) to a whole new level where it doesn't tire the nose (I usually hate iris fragrances). I liked it, but not enough to use up the decant, much less buy a full bottle. I think it's incredibly expensive for what it offers. Deviant is 1/3 of the price and longevity and projection are triple, get Deviant if you like powdery scents. Scent: 7/10 Longevity vs. price: 3/10 Projection vs. price: 6/10

The initial spray of powdery aldehydes and florals is so beautiful. Like its name suggests, Heritage is perfumery of times gone by - it’s classically floral, soapy-clean and feminine. It reminds me of Rasasi’s Afshan (more than Dia and Picovaya Dama) which is a budget and much rougher version. The dry-down is less exciting (it smells like powdery marigold tagetes) as it reduces down into a soft skin-scent that’s no-where near as dynamic.

Elegant & Sophisticated version of a tone down Attar called Janat-Ul Firdaus with hints of Amuage Gold and a very high price tag. Its very very sophisticated and super classy, its fresh and clean and can be worn all year around in any situation. You cant go wrong purchasing this one, but to be honest there are other brands which cost less and gives a similar vibe with the whole fresh clean & spicy fragrance.

It's quite an interesting scent - reminds me of a barbershop (the after-care hair products). I don't like it but somehow I keep sniffing the test strip 😂

Clean and soapy with a hint laundry detergent

It's a soapy fragrance that you never smelt it before and it's way overpriced but it's a luxury niche brand

Smells nice but not for me. To me I’m getting powdered soap with a hint of citrus.

First of all extremely over priced, definitely not worth the money. This is the most overwhelmingly soapy perfume I've ever had (bought 10 ml spray only), it literally STINK old soap my grandparents had at home back in the 1970's and it takes ages before the real perfume notes are slowly coming. I can't understand how someone can charge €750 for this, it's ridicules. When I find perfumes stinking overwhelmingly like this one, then i have a nice trick which calms the stench. I take 2-3 sprays of the perfume, then I take some perfume-free hydrating lotion in my hands and smoothly cover my whole neck with the lotion where i added the perfume. It kills the stench when the thin layer of lotion covers the perfume and it also releases the perfume for a far longer time than if you didnt have the perfume-free lotion covering the perfume. this is a good trick for all overwhelming perfumes. You must f course use a perfume-free lotion

Sorry my language, but when I got it the first feeling I had was WHAT THE F**K IS THIS????? It's absolutely horrible a stench that is hard to get rid off even with soap and water 4-5 times over and you still feel the exteremely soapy stench from your body. Scandalous to say the least to charge €750 for something like this, I gave away my 10 ml bottle for free same day I bought it for a hefty price online. From this house I adore only Parisian, nothing else. As far as I'm concerned FdeBois is the most overrated crap high-end perfume house of them all (I have only high-end perfumes since 8-9 years back, MFK is my cheapest brand, and price definitely doesn't tell is a perfume is good or bad. I warn everyone from buying this)
