About This Perfume
Guerlain Heritage Eau de Toilette EDT comes across as fresh lavender and bergamot with powdery woody warmth. It opens with lavender, bergamot and lemon, moves into coriander and pink pepper and settles on patchouli (an earthy, dark leaf), tonka bean (almond and vanilla sweetness) and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
As an eau de toilette, it is best in spring, fall and winter. A good pick for casual days. Released in 1992. Perfumer: Jean-Paul Guerlain.
On skin it holds from morning into the evening and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: people who want a woody and grounded scent for casual days.
- Skip if: spice tends to feel heavy on you.
Around $125, a premium woody perfume.

The picks up close
Picture powdery rose cream with sweet vanilla for Mon Guerlain (Eau de Parfum, 2017); lavender and bergamot up top and Tahitian vanilla, Australian sandalwood and benzoin underneath. Shalimar Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 1990) feels like powdery citrus, warm incense, creamy vanilla, with bergamot and lemon first and incense, vanilla and leather at the base. Imagine sweet pear jam, spicy florals, creamy vanilla when you spray Angélique Noire (2005), starting with angelica and pear before vanilla and cedar take over.
