Heliaca
Ginger and cardamom bring energy to the quieter depth of oud, with bergamot at the opening, in a spicy woody portrait of an eagle.
Perfumer: Amélie Bourgeois
Heliaca pictures an eagle surveying a forest while thunder sounds in the distance. Its keen gaze and powerful movement become a spicy woody fragrance, with an active surface set against a steadier base. Amélie Bourgeois composed this eau de parfum in 2019 for the Singulières collection, under Jean-Claude Ellena's creative direction.
Bergamot brings light to the opening before ginger gives the fragrance its sharper spicy character. The quieter woodiness of oud provides the base. Cardamom also contributes to the spicy impression, placing a fresher movement beside that woody depth. Rather than presenting wood as a single heavy block, the composition explores its relationship with more animated materials.
Try it for a cool-weather outing, or when you want a woody fragrance with a more distinct spicy outline. The 100mL presentation is a transparent rectangular glass bottle holding pale liquid, with a broad black cap. A framed botanical illustration occupies the centre of the front, and Heliaca is printed beneath it.
