    Years ago, I went through a phase of loving heliotrope, almond. Wore this daily for a year. Then one day decided it was head ache inducingly sweet, one dimensional, powdery and had become somewhat...

    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...

    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,...

    Lovely, soft fragrance that smells of sweet dough and making cookies, and also a little bit like a Cabbage Patch Kid. I like this, but it fades so fast it is not a contestant for full-bottle...

    It does smell like heliotrope, but it's unpleasant on my skin. Cherry almond mothballs :/ luckily it seems to be fading quickly.

    Well after seeing all the raves about this one I thought I would try it. I'm not in the majority here, and in fact this smells nothing like almonds or cherry's on my skin, in fact I hate the way...

    First spray is alcohol! But soon thereafter, it's almond with vanilla and cinnamon red-hots. Yummy! If "one-dimensional" means that a fragrance doesn't change during the wearing, then Etro...

    This fragrance starts off as a soft cherry scent, not at all play doh on me. After an hour it has become sweeter and reminds me of baby powder scent mixed with almonds. Etro's Heliotrope smells...

    This is my favorite fragrance in the powdery almond/heliotrope genre. It doesn't at any point become harsh or medicinal or worse, CHERRY, on me. The drydown is the most beautiful almond vanilla...

    I was highly disappointed upon this one. Having read the pyramid, I had formed my own idea of the fragrance, but once I had the chance to try it on my skin, all that I had expectd vanished into a...

    Opening is very medicinal-y /bitter (but still not repulsive) on me but it settles into a reallly comforting fragrance. Yes, like many noted in their reviews, it smells a bit like almonds &...

    Love that scent very much. It does surprise me that so many women use it - after all, Heliotrope is a men's scent. But the fact remains, it is one of my favorites.

    I had such high hopes for this - when I first sprayed it, there was a sweet, comforting scent but it settled into a "stale" note. Drat!

    I want to cry. As much as Messe de Minuit was a hit, Heliotrope was a flop. Heliotrope smells nothing like almonds and cherries on my skin. There's no gourmand marzipan anything... nothing. It...

    This is definitely a very "white" fragrance - not chilly, but it has a wispy sort of lacework quality to it. It smells of almond cream with a substantial dusting of icing sugar, and is reminiscent...
