Héliotrope

There is a nice modern-vintage feel in this fragrance, unique and calming, has a therapeutic effect on me, especially after tiring night shifts. Almondy-powdery, not very sweet retro-type of smell, nostalgic even, like a posh body talcum. It is persistent, yet not in your face powder puff. There is something reassuring in it, something a little bit of "diva peignoir", beautiful! I wear it when I want to smell natural perfume-y, like a sensual-clean--petal dust on top of your own skin. Went from like to love within few months.

Soapy Powder Bomb - LOVE it. Clean and pretty. Careful not to overspray - she is so soft but she is strong. Yes it does have a vintage vibe but that is due to the powdery essence. It is very pretty. Great for those days you just want to smell fresh, clean and pretty.

This opens so nice and clean on me. I understand why some of you say it leans vintage, but this is more on the pleasant side. This is how I imagine premium soap would smell long after being used. I would see this as a white shirt elegant fragrance.

I blind bought this for a good price and read all the reviews about this being soapy, and I normally gravitates to fragrances that are described as “soapy”, “powdery” (or mature) and normally I always think that it’s not actually that soapy or powdery (being on a hunt for the perfect bedtime-scent) when I smell them. But OMG this actually IS that soapy! I tested it right after a shower and it smells so similar to the scent that lingers on skin after being freshly washed with soap. I’m happy with this as I was looking for something really soapy and comforting for bedtime but it’s not anything I’m going to wear out in public, just when I’m hanging out in my own comfort- bubble. I just have to ad that people find this similar to L'Heure Blue, I have to disagree. L'Heure Blue Is more dense powdary and sweeter. This is like straight up soap, love them both for different reasons.

I love heliotrope as a note, this isn’t really a typical heliotrope though. The combo of that, iris and neroli smells like a Dove soap bar once it’s had a little bit of dry down time, with touch of l’heure bleu iris feel involved. If I had to guess blind what the brand was, Prada would first come to mind with their clean soapy Infusion range. If you want to smell super clean like a soapy lotion, this a good fragrance for the collection at a pretty cheap price.
