What does Heliotrope smell like?

Peach and thyme open against the spice of clove, and the heart of orange blossom and rose adds a soft floral note. Patchouli lays a woody floor underneath, while tonka bean and heliotrope sweeten it and finish on a powdery note. The overall impression is floral, fruity and sweet.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring close behind, and it leans towards leisure and nights out. Close to half of voters read it as feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent. Joop! Joop! Homme and Talbot Runhof Purple Leather have a close profile.
