...Hello Materijalmen, and welcome to Parfumo!Heeley's Cardinal is indeed lovely and I can relate to your beef with its performance. Perhaps "Sancti - Eau Delà" and "Abrakabarber" appeal equally and are more satisfactory with regard to sillage and tenacity. :)

...What a nasty affair, Oriane! Thanks for the warning.

...Annette's floral creations really intrigue me, Polyanthes. Also all-natural and wonderful is Hiram Green's Dilettante - a lovely orange/neroli-centred fragrance with rather good performance, given the genre.
