    The heliotrope flower is often called "cherry pie" because in the sun, all warmed up and powerfully fragrant, the tiny purple flowers smell like a cherry pie cooling on the windowsill on a summer's...

    Yummmmy! I can see why some people don't like it, and no, it's not the most complex scent in the world, but to me it is delightfully sweet, feminine and comforting, and just makes me feel good!

    I love this scent. It reminds me very much of Mazzolari Alessandro, minus the aldehydes, or Luctor et Emergo, minus the woods. It's like a fresh, summery version of Caron Farnesiana, with its...

    I have to disagree with popular opinion on this one. No dough smell ( unless the dough has gone bad somehow) , no vanilla softness , not quite almond really , no to all those positive things. More...

    No. Definitely no. This starts out a sharp, somewhat acrid salty dough smell on me and then mellows a bit and the salt disappears. However, while it is true that my chemistry that tends to darken...

    On my skin: starts out almond, evolves almond, dries down to almond, with a bit of powder. Very disappointing.

    A beautiful scent that I simply cannot resist. It is a doughy vanilla like Jour de Fete at first but quickly dries to a dry powdery almond-vanilla. The powder is more like the smell rather than the...

    This is a lovely scent. It is similar to L'Artisan's Jour de Fete to my nose, but with a light cherry added. It's a soft, non-offensive almond/heliotrope scent, sweet, somewhat doughy, and very...

    Bitter almonds, vanilla and a faint touch if aniseseed: this is all I can smell in this fragrance. It's not so bad, but it's a little bit sickening, like Marzipan.

    Despite the notes listed in its description, this is mostly almond and soap on me, which I love. It's clean and wearable, and a tiny bit powdery at times (but I'm sensitive to powdery scents). ...

    This is like comfort in a bottle. It's just so cozy and soft, like being wrapped in a cashmere shawl. It's slightly powdery, sweet but not syrupy, warm but not spicy. It has that...

    Actual rating would be something like 4.5 lipsticks. Etro's Heliotrope reminds me of sparkling sugar drops bursting through a pleasant yummy almond-vanilla-doughy base. Very delectable and very...

    I splashed some of this on me last night before heading off to dreamland and thought, "mmm, nice". But clearly nothing spectacular. Well, I woke up this morning and could still sniff hints of the...

    POTL anyone? That's what I thought immediately. I like it a lot, but if you have one why bother with another that smells just like it? I'd have to say I prefer POTL since it's a little more...

    This will be a staple for me from now on. I didn't even know I liked heliotrope-based scents until I discovered this beauty quite by accident. I usually do not like florals and I adore sweet...

    I'm in love with this one. For a start, heliotrope flowers really do smell like this, I've grown them. The scent is much sweeter than my usual favourites, but the complexity and lightness saves...

    Mixed feelings about this one. The initial gives off something that reminds me of motor oil. Not that it smells like that, but that's what it reminds me of. And then, MUCH later, I get the soft...
