I just tested this perfume, and it is truly a strongly scented fragrance. After spraying, bergamot blends with intensely fragrant lily and clove, and sweet-scented tuberose. After about 2 MIN., the spicy-sweet scent of licorice-like myrrh (resin), incense, ylang-ylang, and a slightly green-herbaceous aroma come into play. In the base note, the ingredients mix with the herbaceous scent of musky earthy patchouli and sweet tonka bean. I personally cannot detect either heliotrope or vanilla! Even in the base, there is quite a strong smell of myrrh and incense, and clove, the oil (eugenol) of which gives the impression that it smells like medicine!
