"HERAUD: MIDDLE ENGLISH AND OLD FRENCH FOR A MAKER OF PROCLAMATIONS, A CRIER; A DISTINGUISHED MESSENGER, KING‘S MESSENGER."
One of the central pillars in the perfume formula is the double distilled extract of COCOA beans from the Ivory Coast. Very hard to get, not available every year, produced in smaller batches: HERAUD might not be available at all times. This is the sacrifice we have to pay for quality. Here is a technical detail for you: this cocoa beans absolute is overdosed in the perfume formula and radiates lovely throughout the entire perfume. Head notes: an uplifting Bourbon bergamot oil, balancing a bitter cocoa head note. Heart notes: fruity, milky cocoa with the sweet notes of dried dates. A natural touch of clean white florals. Base notes: dry timber and spicy cedarwood, sensual Planifolia vanilla, clean powdery musk and crisp amber gris.
