How to choose a fragrance for a first date
A first date is like a little performance where every detail matters. Clothes, tone of voice, glance...
Heartless is a perfume oil by Poesie, released in 2022.
This unisex fragrance has a distinctive green, floral and leathery character, created for those who appreciate unusual compositions with an air of mystery and an individual voice.
The American indie brand Poesie combines perfumery with literature, art and emotional stories.
Heartless conveys this aesthetic beautifully: the fragrance feels less like a simple collection of notes and more like a cohesive image, combining cool freshness, a clean soapy nuance and soft musky depth.
At the opening, Heartless draws attention with a green accord and the scent of hyacinth.
The floral note does not come across as sweet or deliberately romantic; it smells cool, transparent and slightly dewy, creating the impression of fresh air and greenery after rain.
As the composition develops, it becomes more contrasting.
The soapy accord adds a sense of cleanliness and a subtle aldehydic sparkle, while the leather accord gives the fragrance a strict, slightly detached edge.
As a result, Heartless balances floral freshness with a dry, almost graphic leathery texture.
In the base, green and floral nuances blend with musk, which adds volume to the scent and helps it remain noticeable on the skin for longer.
The sillage is described as very strong, so Heartless can create a pronounced perfumed aura around its wearer even when applied moderately.
The composition was created by Joelle Nealy.
Heartless shows a particular interest in combining clean, green and leathery nuances: the fragrance does not try to be universally sweet or carefree, but instead offers a more distinctive and memorable impression.
The perfume is suitable for women and men who prefer unconventional floral and green fragrances.
It can be considered for cool spring days, early autumn, evening walks, creative gatherings and occasions when you want to emphasize an independent style.
Because of its very strong sillage, it is best to start with a minimal amount of oil in the office and other small spaces.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided in the available information.
A practical approach is to apply a small amount to pulse points and assess the development after a few minutes, as the oil formula unfolds close to the skin while still creating noticeable sillage.
Those interested in the contrast between green, floral, leathery and musky nuances may want to explore Berdoues Mandarine & Cuir.
For further exploration, consider Crabtree & Evelyn Lily and DSH Perfumes Reveries de Paris.
They offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations of floral cleanliness, green accords and gentle yet expressive leather notes.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The database does not identify separate top, middle, and base notes for Heartless, so the composition is more accurately described as a blended accord.
It is built around a green accord, hyacinth, a leather accord, a soapy accord, and musk.
Green notes and hyacinth create a cool floral opening with a sense of freshness.
The soapy accord adds a clean, slightly aldehydic quality, while leather makes the composition drier and more contrasting.
Musk softens the transitions and gives the fragrance a voluminous, long-lasting trail in the dry-down.
