Helan Daefne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024.

A modern, intriguing twist on a classic floral, Daefne manages to be both familiar and wonderfully unique. It's a scent that subtly commands attention without shouting.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Daefne opens with a delightful burst of fresh bergamot and a surprising, juicy mango, quickly softened by aromatic lavender and the subtle spice of saffron. The heart unfolds into a rich, complex floral bouquet centered around the elusive daphne, supported by davana, iris and rose, deepened by a warm amber. The dry down is smooth and earthy, with creamy vanilla, sophisticated oakmoss, and the grounding, slightly smoky touch of cypriol. It's a beautifully balanced and evolving scent.
