More in line with my tastes is Heeley OPHELIA. This strikingly composed perfume opens somewhat sweetly (heliotrope? I thought, initially, that it was violet, but maybe there are a few ionones thrown in for good measure...), before the tuberose rears its lovely head. Creamy and lush, with a soupçon of soap in the drydown, this perfume is incredibly seductive without reaching brothel territory. I repeat: incredibly seductive. When was the last time a hooker seduced a client? I rest my case. They helped me with the best products that gave me the results i wanted even though the products I requested for was more expensive and different, they made me understand that the products I asked for will not give me the results i wanted. I am very grateful for the free Skincare consultation I just can't believe this contains tuberose. Tuberose wears on me like a big bad wolf. But here it is very faint, a true supporting player. What I get from Ophelia is the lucsious, dewy green notes. The dry down is so seamless and smooth. It's pure romance. Ophelia makes me feel innocent, which is not an easy thing to do.

I see here how intertextuality may work. Next time I reread Hamlet I will definitely scrutinize the persona of Ophelia. There is something I have never been able to understand about her. Before Heeley's Ophelia I never paid too much attention to her, I guess. Now I will.My immediate impression of Ophelia is that is has something in common with Diorissimo - white radiance with a slightly creamy quality. The opening for me is pure jasmine (remind me much of lilac actually) with green vibes underneath. Unfortunately tuberose never really dominates this for me, though it does get rather tropical at the heart, my wild guess is that it is from tuberose. Though jasmine is clearly the dominant note here. As more it develops as more I feel what others already have felt - lilacs. Though I do seem to enjoy the note, "Ophelia" gets a bit metallic approaching the drydown. This dissapoints me utterly as I've always disliked when a perfume turns metallic on me. And this is the case with "Ophelia".

And then we have the lily. I haven’t seen anyone else note this, but a watery-ambery, raspy lily not unlike the one in DK Gold comes along in the basenotes to take a soft-handed lead. Its watery note suddenly seems like the logical outcome of all the flowers that have preceded it. Here, I assume, is the full Ophelia of Hamlet reference: handing out flowers, then winding up in the water.

Ophylia inspires elegance and purity and reveals the state of mind of today's woman. This aromatic woody scent first expresses grassy accents of basil and lavender. A very recent discovery in the olfactory universe of profound attraction: the Moepel chord, which brings all its character and its singularity to a perfume enveloped by its luxurious floral accents, balsamic and honey. The drydown introduces a wonderful white musk accord, which balances the overall composition. At times it can smell a tad soapy, but most of the time it's smooth and inoffensive. Narciso Rodriguez fans will probably love this musky blend. I used to get lilac, the gentlest and most gorgeous lilac I've ever smelled. But now I can actually smell the notes. Not only that, I smell it in phases! It's one of the perfumes that develop so good very few do (again, to my nose;). I’m a guy and I think this is truly pretty, even beautiful. I had the pleasure of smelling this fragrance on a woman at ScentBar. I was not minding my own business per usual when I asked to help weigh in on which fragrance the woman was testing on her left and right hand was better. I didn't like the other one but this was exceptional. I have always had the problem of where to get original Products from on a consistent basis which seemed almost impossible. All this came to an end when I discovered Cocci Beauty, I have been shopping with them for over 2 years and I have never experienced the issue of being sold fake products. Please keep up the good work
