What do reviewers say about Helwa and Insulo?

One Parfumo reviewer compared Helwa to Tihota, noting the price was noticeable but the quality was there. This is vanilla done with care, natural and balanced, not drowning in sugar.Helwa

Vanilla is everywhere. Most of it smells like frosting. Insulo takes a different path, warm jasmine and white musk transform it into something that reads as intimate rather than sweet.Insulo
