Fior di Talco

Helan · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Sweet

Helan Fior di Talco is a women's perfume that opens with grapefruit, Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot, then settles into a powdery, creamy sweetness. Its longevity is rated good, though that view rests on only a few votes. It reads clean, soft and powdery, with a distinctly feminine character. Citrus leads the top and keeps the opening fresh. In the heart, orange blossom, violet, geranium leaf and vanilla soften it and turn it sweeter. The base of fenugreek, tonka bean and musky notes leaves a creamy, powdery finish. Chanel Paris - Venise and Tom Ford Soleil Neige (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Vetiver & Rum (Eau de Toilette)

Helan

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Toilette

Helan Vetiver & Rum Eau de Toilette is a masculine scent that pairs a fresh, citrusy opening with a green, earthy and woody backbone and a gourmand touch. The top notes bring lime, orange blossom, rum and Haitian vetiver, so the first spray is bright citrus warmed by a sweetish rum note. In the heart, lavender, black pepper, clove and nutmeg add a spicy edge, softened by jasmine and mimosa. The base settles into Indonesian patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss, earthy and woody. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. With its fresh, spicy build it reads clearly masculine. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Parfum and Creed Viking have a close profile.

Elemi (Eau de Parfum)

Helan

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Parfum

Helan Elemi Eau de Parfum is a fresh, green men's fragrance led by grapefruit leaf, elemi resin and menthol. It opens cool and citrusy with grapefruit leaf, Calabrian bergamot and menthol, while elemi resin and kava kava add a faintly spicy, resinous edge. In the heart, vetiver, cedarwood and sandalwood build a woody, earthy base, and geranium and violet leaf soften the green with a floral touch. White musk and amber carry it to a calm, lightly warm finish. The overall impression is fresh, dry and woody, with sweetness staying in the background. Mark Buxton Perfumes Wood and Absinth and Rhizome Desert Dusk have a close profile.
