A few words of thanks
Anyone who works in the service sector and works closely with people knows only too well that it is not always pleasant. One is too much exposed to the moods and sensitivities of the customers and there are specimens that are only there to suck out all energies from others and that one would like to wish to go to the moon or even further away.
Then again, there are people you simply like to have around you because they spread a pleasant aura and you wish they would stop by as often as possible.
The Christmas season should be a time of reflection whenever possible. It happens that I then also think of events that have happened some time ago. Especially when they are very pleasant My customer Mrs. H. was one of those pleasant appearances, always in a good mood, always grateful, never bitchy, she always had a kind word for everyone and she always brought something for us. Sometimes something homemade, sometimes a packet of coffee or or ...
And at Christmas there was always a special gift On the last working day in December 1994, Mrs H. presented me with a bottle of Guerlain's Héritage EdP. I have always been very fond of the Guerlain company, but as a small employee in a not very well paid profession, these rather higher priced fragrances were not so easily accessible.
Therefore I first of all adorned myself properly, because I could not accept such a precious gift. But Mrs. H. did not accept my adornment and said expressly that it came from the heart and I may accept it please My joy was enormous and I was surprised how unerringly Ms. H. had met my taste.
Now the times in which one has been given such generous gifts as a service provider are long gone. But I am not complaining about it. Everything just changes.
Héritage shines with the attributes woody and spicy, that fits perfectly. But there's a little more to the fragrance, otherwise it wouldn't be Guerlain, especially from a time when things were different for Guerlain than they are today.
The fragrance starts off citric and tickles pleasantly in the nose, beside the citric notes I notice a little pepper. Lately pepper is a note that rather annoys me, as it is used very wastefully in many fragrances. But here pepper is very nicely integrated.
The certain herbaceousness of lavender is mixed in with it, but the scent does not become green, but spicy.
Patchouli becomes noticeable in the further course of events. Patchouli is a note with which I practically always get along well. Patchouli can develop very differently, dull, hippie shop-like or even deepest cellar dungeon.
At Héritage, patchouli has this beautiful tone that reminds me of fine dark chocolate. This with a very high cocoa content of more than 80%, which one eats only with care and pleasure.
There are also some woody notes, but I can't define them any further. But they complement the fragrance perfectly.
The fragrance has a flattering, warming, slightly balsamic effect on me and gets a slight hint of oriental flair. But this oriental flair is not evoked with oud. When Héritage was created, oud was not even thought of. But since it's a fragrance that I don't get along with very well anyway, I'm not sad about that either.
The durability is with 8-9 hours very good, the smell also radiates quite well in the first 2 hours.
As suitable seasons I would rather recommend the cooler ones.
I wore Héritage EdP a bottle length until it was forgotten and replaced by other fragrances. But a few months ago, I thought it might be nice to let this beautiful fragrance move in again. So I found here in the souk a still almost full 100 ml bottle at a more than reasonable price. It's a current version in a standard bottle, but I was relieved to find out that the scent has not been deformed beyond recognition and that it's still him So the enthusiasm for the fragrance is still the same after 25 years.
Héritage is one of those fragrances that appear with a certain seriousness and that are not at all like any other contemporary fresh water, which (unfortunately I have to say this) somehow all smell the same and want to lure the inclined buyer with tricked-out liveliness. Héritage does not need this. If someone doesn't have to chase every trend, then Héritage is the perfect choice. The fragrance is timelessly beautiful and elegant But what worries me is the unpleasant development with the new guidelines. I sincerely hope that patchouli will not be frowned upon at some point. Meanwhile, too many fragrances have either been mutilated or irretrievably disappeared.
I lost sight of Ms. H. for a long time, change of job, move etc.
But now that I have Héritage in my possession again, I wonder how she might be. I hope she is well And I still think back with gratitude to the wonderful Christmas present.
And with these words I would like to wish all those who are dear to me and have faithfully accompanied me a Merry Christmas and the very best for 2020!
