Laboratory Perfumes Helios is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024. Helios opens with Smoke, Citrus, Green Notes, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Laboratory Perfumes's Helios carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Helios is a divisive one - a smoky, green citrus that some find unique and uplifting, while others are put off by its boozy, ash-like dry-down. It's an experimental scent that isn't for everyone, but those who love it praise its fresh, earthy character.

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

Helios opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and orange, swiftly intertwined with a distinct, almost bitter greenness and a curious wisp of smoke. As it settles, subtle hints of rose and lily of the valley emerge, softening the edges of the initial intensity. The dry-down reveals a grounding blend of vetiver, cedar, and oakmoss, with a persistent smokiness and a clean musk creating a sophisticated, woody finish. It conjures images of a sun-drenched forest after a distant bonfire.
