Guerlain Heritage EdP

Thread Starter 
I know...all the other posts about Heritage. I thought to add this post there, but my question is a bit different.

Since I own the EdT, is it worth the effort searching for the EdP version? On my skin the EdT doesn't have the longevity I want from a Guerlain, when comparing it to the L'Instant EdP. Even if the notes are slightly different, I'm willing to succumb

Yes, the notes are slightly different in the EDP, but to my mind it is perhaps even more wearable. The sharpness in the openining has been tamed down a bit think of rolling off the high frequencies in a piece of music and you have it. But it has great longevity and character, as you'd expect.

Haven't tried the EdT, but the EdP lasts around 10 hours on me (2-3 sprays)

Easily 10 hours or more. Heritage EdP is class personified IMHO.

My hand reaches for the EdP more often than the EdT - so that is my vote.

I have a question though - I bought my EdP from a fellow basenoter.

I would like to add a backup bottle - who stocks the EdP? where can I purchase it?

38.50 pounds is $80.47 at current exchange rates.

I've bought there before. No problems.

They are quite close, I often wear them together - EDP under shirt and EDT on arms.

You can also order it directly from Guerlain's Paris boutique - over the phone, and they'll ship it to you. Not sure if it'll be cheaper than the online source above, but it will be fresh inventory, that's for sure.

Yes they are close, but as usual the EdP is warmer, more intense, more 'vibrant' - the EdT more 'cool', calm, deeper in tone.

Fragrancenet, a sponsor of Basenotes, has the Heritage EDP in stock.

This is nonsense what I wrote here. So long time ago...

I purchased mine from Amazon, been very happy with it.

I bought a bottle of Heritage EdP from Amazon just last week. The actual seller was FragranceNet.
Of course, it's not vintage...

I have both and I am immensely happy with both and they each carry different feelings and impressions! They are completely different fragrances in my opinion, and should be treated as that.

I agree that Heritage eau de toilette (EDT) and Heritage eau de parfum (EDP) are very different scents. If you like one, you may not like the other.

I couldn't wait to wash the EDT off my arm. It struck me as too powdery, offensively citrus/floral and very dated.

By contrast, I love the EDP. It's a stronger, richer fragrance. Very masculine, yet refined and elegant. And the gorgeous, everlasting vanilla/amber dry down is similar to Creed's Bois du Portugal.
