Heir

I love this! I'm a huge Paris fan after I met her back in 2008, since she was a sweetheart. My best friend got me this for my birthday, and I wear it all the time. It's fresh, clean, and citrusy, and it works in just about any weather. This is the first time I've ever successfully worn something that combines citrus and leather, that doesn't smell like old urine. This makes me smell fresh without making me smell like orange peel. Everyone's hating on this, but I notice that almost every negative review is from someone who's wearing something very high end..Seriously, why are you holding Paris to Guerlain standards? This fragrance is very reminiscent to fresh pine needles, for me. If this is what bleach smells like, then sign me up to clean houses on a regular basis, because this smells pretty damn good to me.

It has been said that PH fragrances are "targeted" or remind one of gay men, gayness or gay bars. To this I can say but one thing: HEEEY-AAAY! It is truly an aromatic and the first time I smelled this I thought been there and done him, err...that. But that was a free sample vial and it was not until I got a 50 ml SPRAY that I noticed the different levels of Heir. I know, right? Paris Hilton? More than superficial...you'd be surprised... On first spray there is something very pungent about this (balsam fir?) and the citrus topnotes seem loud, out of balance but as the heart develops,(I'm sitting here typing and it's almost as if the scent strip I sprayed it on is giving me the olfactory equivalent of a come-hither stare)the gooey resins with the lavender and elemi (a wood free white incense)take seemingly unrelated, common materials and blend them into something intriguing and almost exotic. The press release lists ironmusk in this and I can only assume it is synthetic musk with a metallic twang to it and that it is quite shy. We come to the base of this unusual yet somehow familiar scent it is S.A.P. (the industry standard sandal-amber-patchouli{Lite patchouli})just like so many others but with a stylish suede twist. (Amazing how one litttle accesory can change a whole outfit) The truly stylish are the ones who find something a little different and make it their own. It might be the THING today and passe tomorrow,the fact is you tried it no matter what anyone said and now YOU know. Don't be a sheep, find your own way... Sillage: okay Longevity: slightly above average Overall: 3.5/5 The thing I learned about Heir was just because some-one or thing is loud or different don't shun it. You may look in its heart and find something wonderful and strange yet warm and lovely and the bottom line is we are, when you get down to it: all the same on some level, don't judge...LOVE

I got this really cheap when Perfumania was having their huge "End of the Year" sale. I'm pretty sure I got the giftset for under $30, which included the 3.4oz spray, the little travel size one, body wash, and deodorant. I must say that I really enjoy "Heiress", the female version of this, so I thought I'd give "Heir" a try. I liked how soft it was. The scent wasn't overpowering for a guy cologne and it was a little sweet and spicy. The bottle is cheap, because the cologne is cheap. I'm not that worried about it, and obviously if you're looking to buy a high quality perfume, you aren't looking at Paris' fragrances anyway. Overall, this cologne is good. It's not my favorite, and the downside of it is the fact that it doesn't have a lasting power at all (it lasts on my skin/clothes for about 2 hours and then I have to reapply), but it smells good, and it's cheap. I probably won't be purchasing this scent again when I run out, but I would recommend it to a friend.

Oh come on, guys! This isn't THAT bad! This is a LOT like Kenneth Cole Reaction. Kind of a watermelon leather scent. The projection is really low, though, so I do suggest getting Kenneth Cole Reaction in its place. Or Curve Appeal, maybe. Except, this is actually much longer lasting than either of those on skin, but the projection is abysmal! (I sprayed once on my forearm and could still smell it on my skin over 24hrs later, but it never projected past 4 or 5 inches). Apparently Paris Hilton really likes that melon scent on men, because I believe Paris Hilton for Men was also similar, but it was also way too light for my tastes. Still, this isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. But, it is a Paris Hilton scent, which isn't saying much, as nothing she's produced for men has been too impressive, from my memory.

This fragrance, is not nearly as bad as people let on. Personally, i wouldn't wear it, but i dont wear many mens colognes, at all. The Lavendar and Bergamont notes, are VERY intensive. Those two, mixed with some musk, and you have Heir. I am a known Lavendar hater in anything, so that is the reason i would not wear it. Also, it kind of smells like a cheap BOD body spray. I bought this as a christmas gift for my brother, and out of curiousity, i spritzed it on myself. It's not an annoying, cloying fragrance, as you get with most lavendar scents, but infact a skin scent. The scent lingers for a while, but stays very close to you. It does project slightly, but for the most part, it hugs your skin tightly. Not for me, but deffinitally not a bad scent.
