H.E.R. 86, from HERBA London was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Rose, middle notes of Cinnamon and Vanilla, and base notes of Amber, Patchouli, and Sandalwood.
This is a stunning fragrance! Just when you think you're a real connoisseur of rose and have had every conceivable supporting note in every composition that would be rose dominant but still have original elements and most importantly....work. You're hit with something else. I always avoid rose fragrances that are said to be aimed at females thinking I won't enjoy them...foolish. Anyway the fact there's two roses listed is very curious because that's how it comes off...a purple, red jammy rose and a lighter, brighter, cleaner fresher rose. Turkish and Bulgarian harmony for you. The background of patchouli giving heft and sweetness rather than raw earth, the sandalwood and vanilla/amber is not particularly creamy or distinct but something about the sum of these parts make a stunning perfume. Really this is an absolute knockout and I'm so glad, coming from left field because I'm not looking for a rose perfume but I think one might have found me.
