Oriza L. Legrand - Heliotrope (1886)
(Soliflores like Muguet Fleuri, Foin Fraîchement Coupé, Vétiver Royal Bourbon)
Heliotrope means "To turn towards the sun" and was called "Herb of Love". It is supposed to be a plant known as "God's Herb" …
A delicate blend of almond & iris…
An exquisitely rich heliotrope permeates every level of this beautiful scent, opening alongside crisp violet leaves and orange blossom. In the heart, almond and mimosa draw out the heliotrope's indulgent side, drawing out the gourmand aspects of the flower while a sparkling iris keeps everything light and sheer. As Heliotrope Blanc dries down, musk and powder elements radiate softly, projecting timeless elegance. Not every heliotrope flower may smell as wonderfully as they used to, but as long as Oriza L. Legrand is around, we're happy knowing we can still get a gorgeous dose of the past.
