Sylvaine Delacourte Helicriss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Irène Farmachidi. Helicriss opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Lemon, Grapefruit, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Musk, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Sylvaine Delacourte's Helicriss carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Helicriss is a proper divisive one: you'll either love its unique, savoury spice-rack vibe or find it utterly unwearable. It's a bold, aromatic statement, not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it rave about its originality.

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

This scent kicks off with an invigorating zing of bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly followed by a herbaceous blast of rosemary and a subtle cinnamon warmth. As it settles, the star of the show, immortelle, takes centre stage, bringing its distinctive sweet-savoury, almost curry-like character. Hints of tonka bean add a touch of creamy sweetness before it mellows into a musky, earthy base with patchouli and benzoin providing a gentle, grounding finish.
