Oh dear. You see, I thought I might like this because I love the way our real heliotrope flowers smell in our windowboxes. They're pleasantly candy-scented and sweet, and they smell delicious. But...

on first sniff, this smells a little dated to me. As it settles onto the skin, it warms and sweetens up. The closest comparison scent I can think of is L de Lolita, but it is not as harsh (peppery...

Etro Heliotrope is one of my ultimate comfort scents. To me, it is the olfactory equivalent of my favorite blanket and a bowl of pumpkin soup. Fortunately, it doesn’t smell like the pumpkin soup,...
