The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Enneatype Seven. The Enthusiast. In 2023, House of Helios mapped the nine points of the Enneagram onto nine bottles, each one a scent-portrait of a personality type. This one got the type that chases experience, the one that can't sit still, the one that finds the next door before the first one closes. Nathalie Lorson composed its scent. Her stated theme was energy for the next exciting adventure, captured through an expressive arrangement of citrus, white florals, sugar, amber, and musk. Tangerine and orange blossom bring a vivid opening, while ylang-ylang, tuberose, and jasmine shape the floral center. Beneath them, sugar and amber lend warmth and depth, with musk lending a close, skin-like quality.
Lorson's composition builds its energy through layers of citrus and white florals. Orange blossom and tangerine create a lively opening, with orange blossom giving the fruit a soft, floral edge. A full white floral heart follows: ylang-ylang brings a rich, creamy texture, tuberose adds dense floral sweetness, and jasmine contributes a greener, more animated note. The sweetness underneath is deliberate. Sugar and amber form a base that's warm and animalic rather than clean, so the brightness reads as joy rather than sharpness.
The evolution
Tangerine opens the fragrance with a bright, sweet sharpness, while orange blossom follows closely behind, translating the fruit into something almost edible. That citrus fizz is gradually absorbed rather than simply disappearing, allowing the white florals to take over. Tuberose leads the heart with a creamy, dense presence, ylang-ylang pulls its sweetness forward, and jasmine adds a green, nervous tick underneath. The floral notes blend into a lush white center, balancing brightness with softness. As the composition settles, the florals recede without vanishing completely. Sugar and amber surface like something simmering on a back burner, warm and a little resinous, while musk underneath gives the drydown a close, skin-like character. The opening's lively brightness gives way to something quieter and deeper: musky, ambered, warmly sweet, and unexpectedly close.
Cultural impact
The Enthusiast takes its identity from the Enneagram framework behind House of Helios' enneaKIND collection, connecting Enneatype Seven with a fragrance built around movement, curiosity, and the appeal of what comes next. Its personality is expressed through a vivid contrast of tangerine and orange blossom, a rich white floral heart, and a warm base of sugar, amber, and musk. The composition invites exploration from the bright citrus opening to the denser floral center and the close, ambered drydown.
The House
hOUSE OF hELIOSHouse of Helios translates scent into a personal language. The brand draws its name from the Greek sun god, positioning light and revelation at the heart of each bottle. In 2023 the house launched Enneakind, a nine‑fragrance series that mirrors the Enneagram personality model. Each scent invites the wearer to explore emotional nuance, intuition and a sense of renewal, while the family legacy of the Sol‑Puig name anchors the venture in a tradition of craftsmanship.
