What do reviewers say about Heliotrope and Empire des Indes?
The almond here doesn't whisper. It announces. Marzipan, heliotrope powder, and a vanilla base that refuses to leave, this is a fragrance for people who know what they want.Heliotrope
Not a quiet fragrance. The nag champa and tolu balsam sit close, work the room. If you've ever caught a whiff of something on someone and thought 'what is that', that's the energy. Strong, yes.Empire des Indes
