Smoky and powerful

I 've re-tested this scent just today (it's hot and maybe it isn't the better season for a strong fume like this!)
and I've dicovered all the notes composing the acchord: the leathery top notes are immediately covered by the incensed heart and, then, by the patchouli and mainly by the tobacco strong note. The result is very intense and powerful: it's like a magical potion to wear by night and in the cold season, maybe with a fur.
This scent, as I wrote a few months ago in the statement below, is meant for Alpha women with a strong character.Sometimes I love it , sometimes it seems too much to me; anyway, I'm very attracted by this fragrance. The price is quite high for a 50ml one size. Maybe too minimal the bottle, which reminds of the lipsticks of the Mac collection.

Tar, Rubber, Pharmacy, Burning Gas Station

I am so disgusted that I can't even rate this in numbers! One of the most grotesque scents I have ever smelled. Tarred road, burning car tires soaked in gasoline, tanned leather... and now comes the 18+ part, a haggard junkie, hasn't showered in three weeks, lying somewhere in the entrance of a building, the greasy leather jacket is stiff with dirt, a bottle of cheap high-proof booze has spilled, he's just shooting up his heroin... I feel so nauseous right now, I need to distract myself with a nice fragrance.

Bullet proof... the Bulletproof Vest

Okay, this is a fragrance comment, maybe also a piece of crime or western. Who knows?
But the scent fabric is so dense that I immediately think of such a life-saving protective "garment".
There, the dark agent wears a leather vest, thickly padded with saffron-incense-herb weave, so that any potential attacker hardly stands a chance of penetrating with a bullet.
The whole scene takes place in some alley in Paris, far from the bustling Champs Elysee or Rue Cambon.
There is a "secret lab" of Tom Ford, who, together with Robert Piquet, produces a very mysterious fragrance.
"Bandit" mixed with "Tuscan Leather" results in..... well, what else?...... "My Heroine", a scent disguised under the brand name M.A.C.
And there are people after it, trying to seize the formula.... disguised as perfumers, looking completely harmless, but true bandits with gentleman/woman manners. And this supposedly "hot stuff" is actually not a perfume, but what it calls itself. My Heroine... At least that's what they think, and they have tracked down the "lab". But an employee of M.A.C. has recognized the "bandit crew" and sprays them with "Tuscan Leather" to drive them away before any of them can draw a weapon. And at the same time, the M.A.C. employees are wearing their "bulletproof vest" made of My Heroine. A confusion like no other... some might think (including myself). Yet this entanglement is certainly quite understandable:
"My Heroine" is a strong scent that reminds me both of "Tuscan Leather" by Tom Ford and (a bit later on) of "Bandit" by Robert Piquet. The whole thing oscillates in and out of each other, and I feel like I'm wearing several fragrances at once. It is very fascinating, but also somewhat strange, and VERY mysterious.

Very helpful Review 6

Unfortunately, she is not my heroine...

I am an unapologetic blind buyer and can easily be influenced by a comment or a statement. This was also the case here...

What I expected was Calamity Jane, who stands her ground everywhere, with all her traits, but this heroine is different. She also stands her ground, but not defensively with a rifle, smoking and cursing, but rather thoughtfully acting and yet very moving. A heroine of everyday life or a woman (not a lady) who has character and strength, that is what the fragrance reflects more.

The leather is soft, the smoke very subtle, saffron gives the scent a touch of elegance without being too sophisticated. An extraordinary fragrance that definitely has its charm, but unfortunately not for me, because those who know me know that I love different calibers...

However, the heroine can certainly also be a hero, as the fragrance is definitely unisex for me.
