What does Heliaca smell like?

Bergamot gives a bright, fresh start. In the heart, cardamom and ginger bring the spice forward, with the sweetness sitting behind them. Oud in the base adds an oriental depth and a woody weight.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then winter, and it is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out. Most voters find it masculine, though a good share call it feminine. Yas Perfumes Taj and Xerjoff Zefiro have a close profile.
