Heaven by Chopard Cologne

Heaven light!
Anyone who knows how the masterpiece men's perfume "Heaven by Chopard" from the 90s smells will have with the headline immediately a nasal inspiration as Hei smells.
And anyone who knows the decade perfume Heaven will rub their fingers, because he now for a cracker price finally gets something to the neck what can be compared deservedly with Heaven.
For those who don't know Heaven. It was discontinued and is one of the fragrances that the gentlemen community mourns with the most after.
100ml were last traded for 500 €, if you get it at all. There comes even Gucci Envy not with. Heaven is a masterpiece that goes under the radar. Less known than a 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 sprayer, and has a minimalist aesthetic name.
Hei is worth every one of the few cents, if you keep in mind that it is a Heaven Cologne/Light. It doesn't last 10 hours like Heaven did back in the day. It also doesn't have as strong a glow as Heaven.
But what perfume does these days?
Not even the extract de parfums have the radiance of the 80/90s.
If you put on an eau de toilette in the 80s and 90s it was equivalent to a spatial nuclear detonation, which caused a bomb squad to secure the area and seal it off for three days until further notice.
I'm just saying
Trussardi Uomo (which I offer as an original in the souk by the way!), Kouros, Davidoff no.1, Boss no. 1, Gucci Nobile etc.
To get there these days it already needs a 2019 Creed Aventus or MFK Baccarat Rouge or PDM Pegasus.
So with a shelf life of about 5 hours and a sillage of about 1 hour, you can be quite satisfied to get a men's fragrance so cheap.
In direct comparison, I can say the following:
The association to Heaven is immediately there, as soon as one applies Hei.
It is more discreet, lighter, airier.
But there's also something missing from the scent. When you put on a scent like Heaven or MFK BR you have a kind of tingling magic powder cloud around you. A kind of stardust that beguiles the senses.
There is no other way to describe it. This nasal impression is difficult for me to put into words and few fragrances create this magic. Hei can not deliver that.
BUT
Only decade fragrances can do that!
Still, Hei is a good perfume.
Fresh, airy, aquatic with a more floral note than Heaven. It's less heavy than Heaven. It is lighter but less beguiling. It has the sweetness of Tonka, but less so. It is a bright scent for a positive feeling. "Uplifting. Goes anywhere. Casual, office, date. Even at the club in the summer.

Clubs? These are the places where you are social, meet people and kiss even if you have a cold.
Anyway it can't rain all the time.

Moving on...
Three sprays on the body (neck / ears) and two on clothes let me perceive the scent outside even after an hour at intervals on myself. Also something I miss today in fragrances.
Nevertheless, it is skin deep after an hour.
Off to Cancun Mexico in a few days. No face diaper and social cordon for fake pandemics, and indoctrinated fear neurotics. Since I want to see what the ladies say after 2 hours and whether there are compliments
