Heavy, powdery sambac jasmine and tuberose, maybe with a little lilac? Some patchouli pokes through in the drydown. Not a lot of heliotrope to my nose, though there are some powdery facets. Thick and slightly oily, and very strong.
Not terrible, but not interesting, and a bit crude for the price point.

I smell the Heliotrope but the jasmine packs a punch. I almost get a bread note at first? It is almost chewy. I smell oud and jasmine throughout. This is different. This last a long time and arms length sillage. I have about 10ml and that will be enough I think. I like it but don’t love it….yet.

hairspray-like opening, very similar to Lanvin’s Rumeur at this point. Slightly after it, I get indolic white flowers. The composition only reflects the name/heliotrope note 20-30 mins into wearing it. I still would not say it was sweet or gourmand at all. I’d describe it as ‘smokey flowers’. Who’s it for? I can see a vamp, femme fatale wearing it, definitely confident.
Value for money: I do not see the niche price justified.

Oh wow, first review! I got a sample of this with another perfume purchase, nice fragrance complex and sweet, a definite like for me however I’m just not in love with it. It may be the heliotrope or the smoky note – it feels almost a little “old” meaning I imagine this scent on a more mature lady. Lasts a few hours (3-4) like other Byredos.
