Hei Alfred Sung 2002 Eau de Toilette

Heaven by Chopard Cologne
Heaven light!
Anyone who knows how the masterpiece men's perfume "Heaven by Chopard" from the 90s smells will immediately have a nasal insight into how Hei smells.
And anyone who is familiar with the decade's perfume Heaven will be rubbing their hands together because they can finally get something for a bargain price that can be rightfully compared to Heaven.
For those who do not know Heaven: The perfume was discontinued and is one of the scents that the men's community mourns the most.
100ml were last traded for €500, if you can even find it. Even Gucci Envy can't compete with that. Heaven is a masterpiece that flies under the radar. Less known than Cool Water, but at least as celebrated.
Joop Nightflight smells similar to Heaven.
With Hei, you get a fragrance that comes in a very sophisticated bottle, has an above-average good sprayer, and carries a minimalist aesthetic name.
Hei is worth every single cent, keeping in mind that it is a Heaven Cologne/Light. It doesn't last 10 hours like Heaven did back in the day. It doesn't project as strongly as Heaven either.
But which perfume nowadays does that?
Not even the extrait de parfums have the projection of the 80s/90s.
When you wore an Eau de Toilette in the 80s and 90s, it was akin to a spatial nuclear detonation that prompted a security team to secure the area and seal it off for three days.
I only say:
Trussardi Uomo (which I actually offer as an original in the souk!), Kouros, Davidoff no.1, Boss no. 1, Gucci Nobile, etc.
To get something like that nowadays, you need a 2019 Creed Aventus, MFK Baccarat Rouge, or PDM Pegasus.
So, with a longevity of about 5 hours and a sillage of about 1 hour, one can be quite satisfied when getting a men's fragrance at such a low price.
In direct comparison, I can say the following:
The association with Heaven is immediate as soon as you apply Hei.
It is subtler, lighter, airier.
But it also lacks something in the scent.
When you wear a fragrance like Heaven or MFK BR, you have a kind of sparkling magic powder cloud around you. A kind of stardust that enchants the senses.
There’s no other way to describe it. This nasal impression is hard for me to put into words, and only a few fragrances create this magic. Hei cannot deliver that.
BUT
Only decade fragrances can do that!
Nevertheless, Hei is a good perfume.
Fresh, airy, aquatic with a more floral note than Heaven. It is lighter than Heaven. It is brighter but less captivating. It has the sweetness of tonka, but less intense. It is a bright fragrance for a positive feeling. "Uplifting." Goes everywhere. Casual, office, date. Even in the club in summer.
Clubs? Those are the places where you are social, meet people, and even kiss sometimes, even if you have a cold.
Anyway, it can't always rain.
Continuing...
Three sprays on the body (neck/ears) and two on clothing allow me to still perceive the scent outdoors after an hour in intervals, which is something I miss in today's fragrances.
Nevertheless, after an hour it is close to the skin.
In a few days, I'm off to Cancun, Mexico. No face masks and social distancing for fake pandemics, and indoctrinated anxiety neurotics. I want to see what the ladies say after 2 hours and if there are any compliments. Until then. Stay straight.
