Hi Perfume Guy, I recently discovered that my favorite powdery perfume by Mona di'orio "Ambre" was discontinued 😢 can you direct me to a good alternative? Or maybe to one of your videos with alternatives? Any help would be greatly appreciated ❤ love from The Netherlands 🌷
Love Heliotrope fragrances and agree with L’eau D’Hiver being the number one. It is a note that is very feminine, potent but subdued instead of sexy. I also consider this a clean fragrance. Anyone who wants almond, white musk, or iris dominant fragrances might like heliotrope as well. I had another fragrance which smells like a dominant heliotrope note, Glicine by Acca Kappa. I did not realise it is more of Wisteria.
I never thought that heliotrop could exist in my perfumes, but it turned out that one of my favorite perfumes that I own, contains it- Dans tes bras by FM. Love this perfume! Wish it could have more silage!
Tient de Neige is a wonder. How can a frag be both so deceptively simple yet unfathomably complicated? If you took clouds and clouds of baby powder, packed snow, a wonderful assortment of crochet and a luxurious bath, turned it all into a cold yet cozy romantic fragrance... ah so unique and unexpected! “Like This” sounds amazing. I absolutely love Etat Libre de Orange frags but I find they don’t last or carry much. This is a big issue for me across the board though. I need a small mist bottle of my scents to keep them going through the day, or a hair oil, a solid balm in a tin.. but these are rare to find. Lilac Love is one of my favorite scents of all time. I do not find the Lilac to be strong at all! This one is a Helio bomb goodness it’s perfect. Now you’ve got me curious about Malle, Celine, whatever that yellow-green bottle was lol (weirdly I may have a decant of that one.. 🤔 I need to go check now! If so it leans makeupy soapy but in the best possible way!
hi sebastian, japanese viewer here! thank you for making an awesome helpful video as always! the sumo wrestler from J-scent is inspired by the hair wax that sumo wrestlers use for their hair tied up tightly. There're couple more releases since you made a video featured this brand. Anmitsu is an unique gourmand scent which is inspired by japanese parfait. I enjoy those syruppy mandarin orange opening, going to powdery sweet notes like redbean pastes and Gyuhi(sweet sticky rice cake). Also, there's a japanese niche brand called Perfum Satori which is popular in japanese perfume lovers community. they're not like sillage monsters or something, but quite unique and comfortable in a subtle delicated way. I recommend you to try them if you haven't tried yet!
My father owns a flower nursery, and I used to love going around smelling all of the different flowers. However, I’ve never gotten my hands on a heliotrope fragrance. Maybe it’s time to pick one up.
Love Heliotrope, Etro's "Heliotrope" has been a long time favorite of mine, surprised you didn't mention it, do you know/have you smelled it? Would be interesting to hear your throughts.
Happy to see how much praise you have given Tom Ford Rose d'Amalfi since its release. It's truly stunning as I have worn almost half a 50 ml already. Great noses think alike. 😉
What a great video! Heliotrope is one of my favorite notes. I have to add Parfums de Nicolai Kiss Me Tender Intense. It’s aptly named because it is a very romantic fragrance, but also feels like sunshine in a bottle. And much love for Lilac Love, which would probably be my number one!
Big Lilac Love fan here. So many people are disappointed by that one on blind buy, thinking it’s a true lilac scent. This only makes me love it more, knowing it won’t become common 🙂
I recently got my nose on Amouage Lilac Love, based on another one of your videos, and it’s really great! I’m not that familiar with heliotrope, but I do really like Lilac Love!
Great video! I always get confused between heliotrope and almond. BDK scents are just so ethereal to me, yet they’re not wallflowers. I haven’t found a true love yet, but that quality really has me watching them. I wonder how the Jo Malone cologne intense scents perform. Heliotrope Blanche sounds great! Thanks for the recommendation.
Habanita is an old perfume (created in 1921 prior Shalimar). Originally, it is a fairly tenacious and sustained fragrance, designed to reduce the annoying smell of tobacco. Moreover, its dilution was not the same at the time and Habanita was then sold exclusively in the form of a perfume extract. Women used to impregnate their cigarettes with it before smoking it. This perfume was not offered in perfumery proper until a few years later, in 1924. Moreover, its slogan at the time extolled its merits in this form: Habanita was "the most tenacious perfume in the world".
when you said uncut gem is third favorite 😂 I laughed out loud. Not a fan of that one too 🤓I love L’eau D’Hiver, quite special in my collection. And I can wear it to work and feel like I won't offend anyone
Would love a list of scents you like to wear when it’s raining outside. I usually go for encre noir a la extreme or gris charnel, but I’m looking for more options as it rains constantly where I live. Just an idea!
I used to be obsessed by heliotrope fragrances and I had 4 bottles from your selection. Nevertheless, I wanted to mention Heliotrope by Etro that I loved very much. Merci !
I think Guerlain L'homme ideal Extreme and Joop! Homme (Eau de Parfum) are also quite heavy on the Heliotrope and at least on me it's a very present note with these two.
Reminiscence Heliotrope and Jo Malone Scarlet Poppy are in the same family I find. Scarlet Poppy is play doh marzipan poppies in a field of barley, I love that barley note. The Reminiscence Heliotrope is yummy marzipan and fig jam, I need to get a bottle of that
I like Powdery but not as in baby powder, I hate baby powder, hate it!!! I can't identify the note of Heliotrope but in general these fragrances are not my thing, but it's good to know about them, thank you Sebastian!!!
Thanks for presenting us with so many perfumes using this note. I’m enjoying a bottle of Heliotrope Blanc by Oriza L. Legrand - another fantastic choice. Will rewatch this now & take notes!❤
Hi sebastian! Yay heliotrope its so awesome! I did not know what it was never heard of it started getting a similar vibe in the fragrances i was buying like hmmmm from juliet has a gun , diors hypnotic poison, psychedelic love frank boclets heliotrope which i could drink like a muscidine wine to me I had no idea about etat libres like this had heliotrope and I own it and love it. Im with you about the initios psychedelic love having mixed with patchouli I think those together are a great match. I feel like when you tell us how much you like to mix nishanes 2 fragrances together hundred silent ways and ani? I think I want to purchase psychedelic by jovoy to mix with my initio scince you own both maybe mix and tell if im on to something either way im still interested in jovoys fragrance because I love patchouli sweet like you explain as chocolate cake I have a cheap but yummy fragrance by agent provacateur I mixed with and i loved it... But, it wasnt as interesting as I thought it would be so maybe with a higher end fragrance it would work better. Anyways im so happy your back from italy ! And it sounds like you had a blast. Good good food there! I have family in naples and sicilia I havent been there since I was 16 I am now 46 so it been a bit. So great that you travel and go shopping for fragrances what an awesome oppurtunity life had in store for you I personally couldnt dream of a better job! Im so happy for you and you really help us all with your knowledge about every aspect thank you so much! Your such a pleasure my husband and I adore you! God bless. Love Jaime and Joey
❤LOVE FROM JAPAN HERE! Though I am not Japanese and haven't tried J-Scent yet. Still really want to try and they definitely know what they are doing with fairly acceptable prices.
What a coincidence… I’m wearing Dior Tendre Poison (discontinued), while watching this. It has heliotrope. If you haven’t done lipstick/ makeup accords in perfume, would you consider that as a video? I miss my bottle of “Lipstick On”.
Thanks for doing these note centric videos - very informative about describing the note and great examples. Always learning something from you and always something unique from your channel - thank you!
Oh I adore heliotrope...It adds so many unique qualities to fragrances from almondy - custardy - sweet to airy - powdery - almost cosmic feeling! I own Psychedelic Love and Teint de Neige as well as many that have the note somewhere in there amongst others...Like, Armani's Si Passione and Jimmy Choo Fever. Thank you for giving us all these wonderful options! I can't wait to check a few more of these out...xox
Great smattering of fragrances here Sebastian. I'll be honest, I'm not that familiar with perfumes that feature the note up front. Bit doughy or plasticine-like if I remember correctly. Powdery for sure like you mentioned.
The only one I know here is Rouge Smoking, which I have in my collection. I can't say this fragrance gives me an idea of what heliotrope smells like. I'd have to try on a few more fragrances with this note to get a good feel for it. There's definitely a few here I'd like to try, including Lilac Love by Amouage and Secrete Datura.
Nice one! My favourite heliotrope fragrances are Kilian Royal Leather and Roja Turandot, which also has Paulownia, a note that resembles heliotrope in some ways.
Heliotrope is a favorite flower of mine, and perfume note. Lilac love is one of my top faves. Going to add the other two you featured in your top three. Thank you!
I’m really loving the Heliotrope note a lot more since last year🥰It’s crazy how you mentioned getting it confused with the Mimosa note, as I used to get it confused with an almond note(maybe because the only fragrances I’ve used with it were always mixed with almond🤦🏿♀️)..
Thankyou Sebastion for this video of heliotrope. I've been getting drawn in more and more by powdery fragrances. I find them to be quite elegant. I knew that the iris note can be powdery, but did not know that about heliotrope. I am currently a big fan of Reflection Man because of its elegant powdery scent from its iris. I am going to order samples of Ermenegildo Zegna Florentine Iris EDP & EDT because of the powdery rating given by Fragrantica. But i will now keep an eye out for the heliotrope now in my search for powdery frags.
Oh I love heliotrope fragrances very much!!! My number one is Dolce Acqua by Profumum but I have tried many of these. I liked Leau d'hiver a lot but I didn't really get powder off it. Tried it when I was going through my iris rampage a year or so ago.
Hi Sebastien 😊I enjoyed your video as always . I like heliotrope very much. You mentioned a few perfumes that I own . I have ETRO Heliotrope you didn’t mention and it’s quite pleasant … super comforting , I use it a lot for bed ☺️ I need to check out Touche Finale because I love Jovoy scents ! Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹
Heliotrope is one of my favorite notes top three all time definitely. I have four of your top 20 fragrances including number one which I agree with but you forgot a prominent heliotrope fragrance -- trussardi my name
@@ThePerfumeGuy I got mine from fragrance net so I don't know if they still have it or not. It's one of the most dominantly heliotrope fragrances that I know but I think that the piver is a more perfect heliotrope dominant fragrance. I'm also surprised that you didn't mention guerlain apres l'ondee now that I think about it although some people think of it more as a violet iris fragrance but I definitely smell the heliotrope in it
Hello Sebastian, nice video! Could you please do a video with your favorite mimosa fragances? I have that three in home so i would love carry that smell everywhere i go 🙏
I have and enjoy leau d hiver it reminds me of being a kid staying home with my grandma who I loved so very much. I have a sample of lilac love and I really dislike it, I’ll never wear it. It’s clearly beautiful and complex, just not for me. I love lilac but not the Amouage lilac.
The only one I’m familiar with is FM L’eau D’hiver. It’s really lovely. I contemplated getting it but I ended up going with En Passant. En Passant is such a nice lilac for springtime but I don’t wear it that often because it is a little mature for me.
I don’t know what heliotrope smells like and I’ve never smelt these perfumes before. But my favourite is Louis Vuitton etoile filante. I know nothing to do with this video, but what can you suggest that smells similar to that? Love your videos by the way, very informative, especially for me who is just starting to really love perfumes.
А lllot of fragrances here I love, so I need to find out all of the others 👀 Have a small dream - to have Lilac Love mini. But I can get it only in a set 😕 Always looking for it on a secondhand forums, but it not seemed like anyone will sell it)) Everyone want a collection of Amouage on a shelf))
Hi Sebastian can you do a comparison video between J scent sumo wrestler and Chanel boy. I feel they are both very close in their styling with the Chanel being a bit more floral and the sumo wrestler being a bit more wood focused. I own and love both in fact I wear them both together
@@ThePerfumeGuy I don’t believe sumo wrestler is a copy of Chanel boy but I do feel it would make a great alternative for someone who likes boy but may not want to pay the huge price tag for the Chanel.
Have you of an orange Heliotrope scent. I saw it once & now I’m looking everywhere for it. I can’t wear too many fragrances & these are two I can wear. Help! Also what is beviter?
