What does Heliotrope smell like?

Mandarin orange, Italian bergamot and Tunisian neroli give it a citrus sparkle, while Chinese iris absolute and white musk pull it towards a creamy, powdery floral. Vanilla absolute and amber add a gourmand sweetness, and Somalian frankincense leaves a faint resinous, smoky trace.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and lean towards leisure and daily wear. The largest share of votes calls it feminine, though it reads comfortably unisex. Perfumer H Musk and L'Amande Iris Supremo have a close profile.
