The silent lady
I have already written a statement about this fragrance, the comment is an addendum. This has turned out rather negative, but so completely I did not want to leave it at that.
My story with the classic began in the TK Maxx. It was morning, so I could rummage in peace and research about almost every fragrance found in peace. There were very interesting sounding things there! Finally, I had to decide between Quatre Absolu de Nuit by Boucheron and Hèliotrope Blanc. The comparison to Etro's fragrance of almost the same name was what ultimately convinced me. Perfect, quickly to the checkout and outside directly spray on...and well, I was pretty disappointed.
The first thing I could perceive were the floral notes, which behaved not discreetly fresh, but unusually opulent. With time, the almond then also came to the fore. However, this did not create the association to marzipan, but the unsweetened milk substitute. As already mentioned, Hèliotrope Blanc was for me initially floral, creamy, relatively little sweet and not at all my case.
Disappointed about the alleged mispurchase, I read the reviews again and wondered how it could be that my nose perceived him completely different than a good 100 others. Well, shall occur. However, it also happens that you change your mind about fragrances, so I decided to test the Wässerchen after a while again.
As a precaution, I had not put on any other perfume on this day. Could well be that a sweet scent cloud deceives my perception. First came to me right away once again the unloved flowers, but this time something was different. The unsweet creaminess I had initially complained about gave way to melt-in-the-mouth almonds. Heliotrope lay like a veil over this construct. Immediately I developed an association with donuts sprinkled with powdered sugar. Delicious!
I can only explain my initial dislike with the fact that I was simply not familiar with the perfume initially. Usually, fragrance pyramids feature fruity notes and a measuring cup full of sugar. Hèliotrope Blanc is sweet, but nowhere near as sweet as others in the genre. While others scream, here you're dealing with a quiet, elegant lady who watches the goings-on from a safe distance. She probably has more to say than some of the screamers, but you have to let her have her say...
Overall, you get an enormously well done fragrance. Each note is recognizable and none of them seems out of place. Since it is not too bad that the shelf life is rather small. I am glad that I have not 'overheard' the lady among the screamers after all!
