Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers Eau de Toilette 100ml is a confident woody-aromatic men's fragrance, launched in 2009 under Christian Audigier's Ed Hardy line. A unique martini accord meets pear and basil at the top, leading into a peppery, aromatic-fruit heart of papaya and rosemary, and a smooth suede-and-patchouli woody drydown. The unmistakable Ed Hardy bottle artwork — a tattoo-style heart-and-dagger motif — is a signature collector's piece in its own right.

About Ed Hardy

Ed Hardy is the fashion and fragrance brand launched by entrepreneur Christian Audigier in 2004, working with American tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy. The line became a cult crossover phenomenon in the late 2000s with its illustrated apparel, accessories and fragrances. The men's perfumery is recognised for its bold, illustrated bottle designs and confident, character-led compositions at approachable price points.

Fragrance notes

• Top: Martini Accord, Pear, Basil

Olfactory family: Woody Aromatic  |  Launched: 2009

Who it's for

Hearts & Daggers suits men drawn to character-led fragrances with a hint of "cocktail-hour" sweetness, rather than fresh aquatic or sport-style scents. It works well from late afternoon through evening, and is at its best in autumn and winter. Fans of Paco Rabanne 1 Million, Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Night or Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Male will find familiar territory here, with a more aromatic-suede twist.

How to use

1. Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
2. Apply to pulse points — neck, throat, behind the ears and inner wrists.
3. Two to three sprays of an EDT is plenty; reapply mid-afternoon if you want the bright pear-basil opening back.
4. For a longer scent trail in cooler weather, mist lightly onto a jacket collar or shirt cuff.

Size: 100ml — the standard format, presented in the Ed Hardy bottle with Don Ed Hardy's signature tattoo-style heart-and-dagger artwork.
