By the editors · 2 min readHeliotrope opens with a powdery, faintly almond-cherry softness that reads as warm rather than floral. It sets expectations correctly — this fragrance is built for sweetness from the first spray.
Chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut cluster in the heart with tonka bean adding a soft bitterness that keeps the sweetness from becoming flat. Vanilla runs throughout, integrating rather than standing apart from the other gourmand materials.
The base leans into rum and caramel with benzoin adding a balsamic depth underneath the sugar. Brown sugar and white musk extend the dry-down — musk providing a clean lift that stops the composition from becoming too heavy. Overall it is dense, unapologetically sweet, and built for cool weather.
