About this deal

After 4 hours of perusing high end perfume counters, this is the one I chose to put on my bosom. Like a wee little piggy I ooh'd and ah'd all the way home.

Ophelia James Heeley perfume - a fragrance for women Ophelia James Heeley perfume - a fragrance for women

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.

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;). The topnotes of Ophelia give that fullness of spring that makes you crave summer. Then it gives you that, too! Heeley Ophelia is heaven-sent. There's something really simplistic yet beautiful about James Heeley's compositions. This glorious, Spring-appropriate white floral is no exception. Such a spring-like scent. Although they don't have a smell, the image of snowdrops in bright sunshine springs to mind when wearing Ophelia Unlike the previous reviewer, the tuberose dominates this scent on my skin. At first, I get loud jasmine and greenery, but the drydown is creamy tuberose, and, surprisingly, the jasmine behaves, falling in line behind the other notes. I don't smell the ylang ylang all that much, although maybe this is what keeps the jasmine from turning into bitter green sap, as it sometimes does.

At first I get mostly water lilly, green notes are more prominent in colder weather, and then jasmine starts to emerge. I can even smell tuberose, possibly combined with ylang. The best tuberose I've smelled. 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. 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.

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. 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". Chanel Coco Mademoiselle is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Coco Mademoiselle was launched in 2001. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Polge. Top notes...

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

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. |Ophylia inspires elegance and purity and reveals the state of mind of today's woman.

At Cocci Beauty we believe that every woman including you can have healthy, flawless, even and glowing skin. if you love Penhaligon's Gardenia, then you will love this fragrance. It smelt very chemical-like when initially sprayed, but the dry down is very nice.

But Ophelia feels fruitier, slightly more transparent and though less animalic it's equally strident. The tuberose and jasmine are bright and creamy and I seem to detect lily of the valley though it's not in the notes. It's described as animalic but to my nose there's no sweatiness or skank here, it's more vivacious and bright/cleanWow. This fragrance astonished me. And I don't even like tuberose. The only tuberose I can bear and do so with great pleasure is Do Son, but it's nothing like Ophelia, although also a beauty. 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.
