By the editors · 2 min readHeliotrope opens with a dense, almond-like powder that is immediately sweetened by a rich, viscous honey note. This powdery sweetness is soon pierced by the indolic, creamy intensity of tuberose, which adds a narcotic floral depth to the heart. Jasmine and a subtle peach nectar provide a fruity-floral counterpoint, while a dry tobacco leaf accord introduces an earthy, almost smoky texture. The dry-down is profoundly complex, where animalic civet and musk blend with ambergris's saline warmth and olibanum's resinous smoke over a sandalwood and cedar base. This opulent blend projects strongly for hours before settling into a intimate, skin-hugging trail best suited for cool evening wear.
