About

Helios opens with a chilled hit of aromatic lavender and crisp mint, quickly softening into a creamy heart of warm vanilla and resinous benzoin. The drydown deepens significantly with gooey honey and smooth, sweet tonka bean, underpinned by a sophisticated, non-smoky tobacco accord. It’s a beautifully blended journey that leans into rich, gourmand-adjacent sweetness.
