What does Héliotrope Gingembre (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter. Daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, with evening and business close behind. Most voters read its character as feminine.

Bergamot and orange keep the opening bright. In the heart, cinnamon and ginger add spice, while apple and rose push it in a fruity, floral direction. As it dries, caramel, tonka bean, heliotrope and vanilla take over, settling into a gourmand, creamy and powdery sweetness. Amouage Love Delight and Korres Black Sugar have a close profile.
