Almond mmmm, love the smell!
Too bad it’s so light.
I wish there was a Parfum like this that was 10 times heavier so I could smell myself all day and the people around me could also smell this delicious scent

This scent reminds me of Harajuku Lover’s “G” cologne, but without the harsh alcohol openning… Well blended combo of almond and soft sweetness of vanilla creates this powdery coco nutty vibe which takes me to memories of happy summertime at the beach. This may be the majestic interpretation of Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion if it was a perfume. Put on Reminiscence(Heliotrope) if you wanna reminisce fun times of the summer heat. You’re sexy and they’ll smell it. ☺

Definitely not suitable for a blind buy since this perfume may be a bit polarizing. Not that it’s so unique, but it must really appeal to your tastes.
This is not heliotrope, the note is only slightly detectable here. Rather, Heliotrope by Reminiscence is a bitter, dirty, darker, almond vanilla. I’ve actually found it more dirty than I could comfortably tolerate, and I guess tonka bean plays a role here, a note I can’t get on well with. I get a sweat-like accord which is off-putting. Apart from that, Heliotrope is wearable but it should really appeal to you.
In the opening and dry down, I get some similarities to Yves Rocher’s Vanilla Noire and Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. Actually Heliotrope is rather more similar to HP, but less sweet, with more almonds and more powdery. Comparing the two, the original HP is a lot better here.
Reminiscence perfumes are affordable and they have absolutely terrific perfumes like Patchouli, a classic. But for anything else other than their classic range, you need a good test drive.
Heliotrope was anyway good, but I found Rem totally unwearable and very off-putting.

Profumo mandorlato dolce e morbido. Peccato per la longevità e sillage, entrambi molto soft dopo un’ora circa..

I don’t get heliotrope with this one.
Straight up it’s a slightly medicinal almond (brown skins on white nut) with notes of dried-out hardback library book. As it dries down the library book note fades and a mild sweetness overtakes the medicinal quality, so you are left with almond skins and nuts with a slightly sweet tinge….just a tiny tinge.
I don’t dislike Reminiscence Heliotrope, but it’s very much NOT what I thought this scent would be. I’m no gourmand lover, but this really does need sweetening up. I may layer it with an actual heliotrope scent and see what happens.

Rhaine’s loss was my gain, I find it very much Heliotrope, sweet but not too sweet, deep, soft & beautiful.Luckily the Fig & Vanilla come through in the dry down for me,the notes I was seduced by on the pyramid.It doesn’t last too long, but is worth the re-spraying.

I think the almond note is a bit too much on my skin. When I first sprayed this it was so strong and almost…savoury?
As it’s settling it’s sweetening up but it’s still not quite there. I would say the almond in this is a very true almond scent.
A little bit disappointed – I ordered this with Guimauve and I honestly thought this would be my favourite of the two because I love heliotrope but it’s mostly just almond on me.

Coconutty heliotrope. Agree with 9154mf, it’s very gourmand! Sweet and delicious but not cloying. Good sillage. It’s strange how there’s no actual coconut note in it according to Fragrantica. I guess a combination of notes (perhaps the fig and vanilla) give it a coconut accord, similar to how the strawberry + almond in Hanae Mori creates a vanilla-like impression. Reminded me of L.T. Piver Heliotrope Blanc, with added coconut.

Rich sweet powdery heliotrope. Ver gourmand just lovely. I get hints of coconut and the softest sandalwood. Very nicely done, but similar to other heliotrope scents as well. However this may be one of my faves.
