What does Heliotrope | Ylang-Ylang | Citron smell like?

It has been discontinued. It wears lightly, with moderate longevity and weak sillage. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office, while night out and evening come well behind.

It opens with jasmine, rose and lemon, the lemon giving the flowers a bright start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, violet and heliotrope bring a powdery, fruity softness. The base of vanilla, musk and amber sweetens it and settles into a warm finish. Nishane Florane and Geo. F. Trumper Ajaccio Violets share a close profile.
