It starts out herbal and sweet: sweet grass with a hint of hay, tea leaf, palmarosa with its green rose feel, and amyris warming the blend. In the heart, sandalwood and cedar appear, with cardamom adding a spicy, fresh touch. The base of golden amber, white musk, and suede is soft and slightly powdery.
Heathens, Cowboys and the Santa Ana Winds is a spicy woody eau de parfum from Discothèque, the house founded between Los Angeles and London by Jessie Willner, Hanover Booth and Whitney Moulton. Its city is Los Angeles in 1986 and its club, Helena’s, open from 1985 to 1991 by the actress and dancer Helena Kallianiotes, where, according to the brand, photos were not allowed. Fragrantica credits the composition to Nathalie Rouquet.
It works year-round, day or night, for anyone who wants a warm woody scent that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you’re looking for a dry, dark cedar and nothing else, this goes in another direction: the opening is herbal and sweet. In layering, the sandalwood, cedar and cardamom of Lola at Coat Check make it more indulgent, and the sandalwood and white musk of Next To Me Or Nothing make it milkier.
