What does Histoire d'Orgeat / Héliotrope / Do Ré smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. It reads feminine, with some voters calling it modern and others classic.

It opens with the green note of fig leaf. Towards the heart, heliotrope and almond come forward, turning the scent powdery and creamy. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin soften the sweetness while patchouli adds a woody depth. Lalique Satine (Eau de Parfum) and Detaille Sofia have a close profile.
