What does Helion smell like?

Most voters recommend Helion for summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters split almost evenly between feminine, modern and masculine, so it carries no firm gender line.

It opens with lime, lemon sorbet, cardamom and champagne for a sparkling freshness. In the heart, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, monoï and tiaré add a soft floral note, lightened by white tea and driftwood. The base of white amber, vanilla and tonka bean sweetens it and settles into a creamy finish.
