Heliotropic Night
When I think of heliotrope, I inevitably think of pink Joop Homme - the sweetheart that many men have had or still have in their perfume collection since the end of the 80s in the course of their Sturm und Drang period.
Similarly, in the case of tonka bean, Gaultier's blue "Le Mâle" comes to mind. Both ingredients play an important role in Guerlain's "Le 68" and thus, at least for me, remind me of the fragrances mentioned, without mentioning the word "fragrance twin".
As far as my subjective perception - whereby objectively considered, as far as this is possible, one can certify that "Le 68" has a relatively sweet vanilla-flowery bouquet and achieves, especially through the use of the above mentioned ingredients, not completely unknown hypnotic to eroticising effects. At least that is what the scent of the tonka bean says.
In the middle of it all there is a mixture of marginally spicy but above all tenderly marzipan and quite orange-floral notes. I think I met this kind of music in Altamir by Ted Lapidus ... only here a bit more full and pompous, but by no means exaggerated and in the usual high Guerlain quality. However, ladies might feel much more comfortable with it than the majority of men.
It's a pity that incense and leather don't play any role at all, as they would have given the composition a certain creative and therefore slightly unusual touch.
Thus, one could certify that Guerlain or Thierry Wasser launched an interesting eau de parfum with a typical Guerlain acacia, but that it was based on the above mentioned fragrances and therefore lacked a little of the unique selling point. If it weren't for these two, it would certainly be the absolute hit, but for most people it lacks that certain something. Otherwise simply an appealing sensual top scent.
