Heliotrope joined the Reminiscence portfolio in 2013. A feminine fragrance belonging to the east and gourmet families. Jacques Flori and Zoe Coste worked their magic — and the result speaks for itself. Heliotrope — a proud member of the Notes Gourmandes collection. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Country of origin — France: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Heliotrope evolves as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Reminiscence comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Fruit, Green, Gourmet and Wood. It also reaches into Floral, Balsamic, Spicy and Musk. At family level the composition sits in East and Gourmet.
In the top tier you meet vibrant berry top notes: Fig and Green Chord.
In the heart you notice Almond, Cedar, Heliotrope, Patchouli and Sandalwood keeping a structural woody direction.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Overall Heliotrope holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced through real development.
