Heliotrope, meaning “plant that follows the sun” (from Helios and Tropos), follows the sun’s trajectory just like the sunflower.
White heliotrope is said to exude the intoxicating scent of Guadeloupe.
Olfactory revolution: Héliotrope Blanc, created in 1885, was one of the first eaux de Cologne to use the molecule heliotropine.
Global success: This iconic fragrance quickly conquered the Caribbean, becoming a staple of perfumery.
Nicknamed the “plant that follows the light,” heliotrope is believed to bring luck to those who wear it.
Fragrance Story

In 1869, German chemists discovered heliotropine, a molecule evoking the sweet, powdery scent of the heliotrope flower. In 1565, Alphonse Piver and his son Lucien ingeniously incorporated it into a creation with round, vanilla, and enveloping notes. Héliotrope Blanc, the archetype of powdery perfumes, was born. This legendary fragrance has traveled through time and across continents, reaching the Caribbean islands, where its charm is still celebrated today.

Perfumer’s Inspiration

The comforting caress of heliotrope, a small flower with delicate hints of vanilla, almond, and even cherry. This eau de parfum magnifies that sweetness to the extreme, offering an enveloping, tender olfactory experience.

Usage Tips

Our Colognes are best enjoyed through gentle friction. Pour a few drops into the palms of your hands, then apply with light massages on the nape, chest, arms, or even the hair. This traditional gesture provides a pleasant sensation of freshness, subtly awakens the senses, and has both a fragrant and toning effect. It ideally prepares the skin for fragrance and pairs perfectly with the use of Eau de parfum.

In my early days, so sweet,
Harmony made my fame complete.
Its gentle song, my life did guide,
A joy I carried deep inside.

To troubadours I gave my grace,
Red blossoms offered in their place.
For love’s own bards, in nightly hours,
I crowned their songs with fragrant flowers.

Fair maidens, may your hands always
Unite the garden’s floral praise,
With verses blooming bright and free—
The flower of poetry.
