Real talk
Helios doesn't smell like other Laboratory Perfumes releases. The smoke note is the pivot, it moves this from clean citrus into something with atmosphere. That's either the draw or the dealbreaker.Helios
This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
