In the last 100 or so years, the heliotrope has been selectively bred to maximize its striking purple color, often sadly at the expense of its powerful, distinctive scent. How fortunate, therefore, that Heliotrope, created in 1886, honors the history of the flower by keeping the gorgeous vanilla-and-almond characteristics of heliotrope front and center. As a result, Heliotrope isn't just a fresh, elegantly blended floral with light gourmand touches- like all Oriza L. Legrand masterpieces, it's also a trip back through history.

An exquisitely rich heliotrope permeates every level of this beautiful scent, opening alongside crisp violet leaves and orange blossom. In the heart, almond and mimosa draw out the heliotrope's indulgent side, drawing out the gourmand aspects of the flower while a sparkling iris keeps everything light and sheer. As Heliotrope Blanc dries down, musk and powder elements radiate softly, projecting timeless elegance. Not every heliotrope flower may smell as wonderfully as they used to, but as long as Oriza L. Legrand is around, we're happy knowing we can still get a gorgeous dose of the past.

Heliotrope is divine, it is addicting, sweet, and almondy. I love it! It is also unique, a hidden treasure.

Just no. I can't figure out what the note is here that makes me unhappy but it's there. Gives me a headache.

Let me preface by saying that I blind bought Relique d'Amour and found it to my liking as I'm a fan of old-world fragrances and such. Hoping to fall in love with Heliotrope, I purchased a sample of the same--while the scent itself is rather historical in nature, it didn't suit my nose. I feel that this was far too strong a floral with green notes that left a bitter taste on the roof of my mouth as I smelled it. Other than that the perfume is a ghost of fragrance, like an apparition that I saw fleetingly in the corner of my eye, never to return. In conclusion: I'm probably not going to purchase a full-sized bottle of this fragrance.

I have tried Chypre Mousse by Oriza and loved how unusual and hauntingly beautiful it was, so was looking forward to trying this. Unlike Chypre Mousse which is so very present from the moment of application to the moment it is washed off, Heliotrope Blanc fades to the background. The first 3 hours of wear I smell nothing but baby powder and clean baby (which is not an unpleasant scent by any means but not something I'd necessarily aim to smell like). After that, I smell a faint muskiness and almond in amongst a muted heliotrope and white floral. I don't get orange blossom or iris or mimosa. I have such a sensitivity to fragrances and Chypre Mousse is one I'd have to be very careful with as it could be headache inducing veeery quickly because of it's sheer strength. However, Heliotrope Blanc is one of the only perfumes I've thought I could actually wear to bed as it is a very comforting, soft fragrance. I am keen to try more Oriza fragrances as they are so very unusual, but I won't be buying this one as it's not quite for me.
