What do reviewers say about Helwa and Melipona?
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
If you want vanilla done quietly, Melipona is not for you. This is Bourbon Vanilla at the front, unapologetic and rich, before the amber and cashmere wood soften it into something that stays close.Melipona
