[²He] Helium One of those 2012

Last night I tested four fragrances from Nu-be (after all, my husband has two wrists too). I sprayed “2He Helium” on my left wrist with two spritzes, sniffed, “Hmmm good, delicious, gourmand.” I waited a moment, smelled again: “I know this, what does it remind me of?” Not a summer scent, very clearly honey, a bit of tobacco, later a hint of cinnamon and vetiver.
Clearly, someone has “copied” from Kilian and Tom Ford or should I say “sniffed”? “Tabacco Vanille” and “Back to Black” were probably the big influences and role models for this fragrance. It’s evident that role models are often unattainable, as the little “2He Helium” clearly lacks the “Aha effect.” Compared to the two great masterpieces, it’s just a new, simpler scent that doesn’t change or develop much.

For those who find “Tabacco Vanille” and “Back to Black” too pricey and who enjoy gourmand fragrances in winter with sweet honey and pipe tobacco, the significantly cheaper “2He Helium” (100 ml for about €110) is a great choice.

However, for those who know the two excellent fragrances, I can only advise: Stay away from Helium!
