Full Version: Here's My Heart!

Does anyone know what's in it? I've looked up scents close to it on the Avon site, and they list Imari, and some other. But what is there in it that gives it the sharpness and Hauntingly memorial fragrance. I think it might have incense in it, and I think it might contain some verbena. What else?
Oh how I wish they would make this again!!!!

Here's My Heart was the only scent my grandmother would wear and I mean that with the greatest respect. I used to love Hawaiian White Ginger by Avon and I see a lot of it on Ebay, perhaps you can find H.M.H there, but I don't know if it would be any good. I wish I knew. I don't know what was is Here's My Heart, but perhaps you could email Avon, one of the main offices and ask them. Good Luck to you.

glowbug, there are quite a few bottles of Here's My Heart offered on ebay. I have purchased vintage Occur off ebay and it has been fine. The HMH is pretty inexpensive.

All I've got on it is it's a warm floriental with a touch of honey.
glowbug
Thanks all.
I think the reason I want to know what's in it, is to see if I can find a scent made nowadays that is similar to it, with almost the same ingredients?
I know it must be out there somewhere!
So what I'm really asking is, is there a perfume like Here's my heart?
Jicky
GLOWBUG I found the notes - it seems it was first released in Brazil?

Here goes: (only it doesn't say which are the top and middle notes, you can work out the base notes, i think)

It first came out in 1957, is a Floral Oriental.

Notes: narcissus, carnation, honey,
lavendar, jasmine, orange flower,
labdamun, incense, amber and vetiver.

Wow, gotta add those notes to my collection of avon scents. That's a rare one,

Glowbug, did you get it when they brought it out in a little container of creme perfume as a special of the classic reruns?

I've always liked this one, too. Was tempted to order some off Ebay on several occasions. Thanks for posting the notes- no wonder I like the scent! wink.gif

Here's My Heart was the perfume I wore through much of high school and at my first job...I loved answering the question, "What fragrance are you wearing?" because the asker frequently got a puzzled look on their face until they realized that that was the fragrance's name, not my pledge of fidelity.

Avon brings it back every now and again with its "Classics"...
glowbug
Yes, I first wore it in high school, and early University, before I next wore My Sin and Lauren and then the Ultimate fragrance that I've been tracking down all my life, which I asked about in a prior thread, Idole by Lubin (that was the original). Why, oh why, do they discontinue making all the good ones?!! If I still had my original fragrances, there would be no need to have any of the others.
Here's my heart brings back a lot of memories, and we all know that the sense of smell is related to memories. Just a whiff can transport me back to those days of early Toronto, and summer trips.
Thank you so much for the notes, because I would like to see if I can find something with these notes in it!
Jicky
Globug, I remember what Here's my heart smells like. Do you have any, or have you been able to get any off Avon or ebay? I know Avon has re-released it a few times in an 18g container of creme perfume.

I remember seeing Here's my Heart on my mother's vanity. She wore that along with My Sin, and a Dior, that I cannot remember. I loved the powder-blue, heart shaped bottle.
glowbug
No, I don't have any. If they have released it in the past, then maybe they will some time again. I haven't bought anything from ebay, ever, and the reason I think are some of the stories I hear from people who have had problems.
