About Daniel Hechter
Daniel Hechter is the French ready-to-wear and lifestyle brand founded in Paris in 1962 by the eponymous designer. Best known for its accessibly-priced, modern French sportswear, the fragrance line — produced under licence — translates the brand's clean, classical French aesthetic into wearable men's signatures, with Caractère among the brand's enduring late-1980s compositions.
Existing fans of richly-built, classical late-1980s men's compositions — and anyone drawn to powerful, well-developed signature scents with a complex layered structure. Best in autumn and winter wear, evenings out and dressed-up occasions.
How to use
Spray two to three times onto pulse points: throat, behind the ears and on the wrists.
Allow the lavender-aldehyde-bergamot opening to settle without rubbing the wrists together.
Layer with a neutral, unscented body lotion to extend longevity.
Refresh once during the day if needed — typical of Eau de Toilette concentrations.
