Very sweet and slightly green violet leaf over a blanket of almond and rice powder. Through the drydown the powdery aspect is even more pronounced and it’s accentuated by the sweet tonka.
5.5/10

Candied violets, sweet almonds, powdery heliotrope, musks, this fragrance is as far outside my wheelhouse as it is possible to be and still be a fragrance and yet I’m really enjoying it. It’s very, very pretty, superb quality and kind of cheeky, if that makes sense. It’s utterly forthright about what it is and it does it with verve and charm. If you like powdery, sweet florals this is a must try.

I absolutely adore this fragrance…sweet soft comforting beautiful powdery heliotrope. I cant for the life of me understand why this is marketed towards men, though. This is as feminine as it gets. It’s the color of the lightest lilac lavender fine silk chiffon taffeta lace lingerie. Fine silk pantyhose. The feeling you get after you just got out of a luxurious bubblebath, powdered and dusted, and wearing your best fine chiffon silk peignoir.
Heliotrope Blanc is a perfume to pamper yourself for sure, like a fine box of chocolates, everything about it spells luxury, and it is so much more than just a ‘baby powder scent’ It’s the most luxurious purple heliotrope dusting powder scent I’ve come across, all boxed up in a beautiful ethereal purple bow…
Oh this could be the darling pola Negri in The Wildcat 😉

Heliotrope Blanc vacillates between silky powder and nursery room vinyl for me.
Sometimes this fragrance is elegant and billowy with cold, milky crushed pearls, but with an uncomfortable cherry/marzipan note that’s like the inside of an unripened bitter almond seed, a little green and botanically toxic. Sometimes straight baby powder and a room full of plastic dolls.
Heliotrope Blanc is one that is a little too challenging for me. However it is a high quality fragrance that delivers a unique experience.

dear Pinnacos
Don’t worry it’s just a facelift 🙂 They didn’t reformulate their perfumes !

Does anyone know whether this frag has been modified with the recent revamping of the packaging? I noticed that a good number of the frags from this house just got a facelift. I’m hoping the corresponding frags were made better in the process, not cheapened or weakened.
Any feedback appreciated.

Heliotrope Blanc opens with a cloud of smooth powdery violet, orris and heliotrope. I smell almond as well. The scent turns a bit darker and gets a more resinous feel. The tonka and heliotrope form a soft and powdery layer on the resinal base. Something citrusy is lingering on top, but it is never prominent, it just gives a bit of freshness. The drydown is a soft and sweet powdery resin scent on me with a touch of almonds and the heliotrope binds it all together.
Sillage and longevity are moderate on me.
The violet and iris notes combined with the powder make this a scent with a classic feel, it reminds me of the older Guerlain scents minus a load of aldehydes. This scent is very comforting and calming to me. I would wear this in spring or winter, this kind of scent works well on my skin when it’s cold and crisp.

Lots of violet as expected, but thankfully not of the candied variety. The almond adds a bitter facet that balances the violet perfectly. It is a bit powdery but not as much as other fragrances of this kind.
Smells clean, romantic and oldy worldy, perfect for a rainy day indoors when you need something comforting.
Turns to skin scent quickly but its presence is felt for over 12 hours.
Another winner from this quaint, marvellous house.

Very soft and powdery. To me just linear baby powder from start to finish.
