Hellenist les bras de Morphée is a unisex scent that links the powdery floral side of heliotrope, violet and orris root to the creamy sweetness of tonka bean and vanilla. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring next and summer the least chosen.
