Эллада (Hellas): A Vintage Oriental from 1920
Эллада (Hellas) by Северное сияние is a women's fragrance in the Oriental family. Introduced in 1920, it moves from herbal, citrus-tinged top notes towards a floral, leathery centre and a mellow, resinous foundation.
With a score of 4.36 out of 5 based on 33 ratings, it is noted for accords of white flowers, tobacco, sweetness, leather and honey. Powdery yet faintly animalic in tone.
At the top, bergamot meets oregano and thyme. The impression is verdant and dry, with a crisp, old-school herbal clarity.
The middle brings together jasmine, leather, tobacco, iris and violet. Jasmine offers luminous whiteness, whilst iris and violet dust the blend with a talc-like softness.
Tobacco and leather lend a drier, faintly smoky undertow. This keeps the bouquet poised rather than pretty, adding texture and depth.
Underneath, honey, incense, cedar and amber create a honeyed, woody-ambery warmth. The honey sweetens, the incense lengthens, the woods settle.
Dating from 1920, Эллада (Hellas) reflects an era of firm contrasts rather than seamless fusion. Its 4.36/5 rating from 33 votes suggests continued regard amongst lovers of period orientals.
It will suit women drawn to period orientals, talc-like florals with tobacco and leather, and honey-rich bases with a gentle animalic touch.
In short, Эллада (Hellas) remains a striking women's oriental of 1920, weaving herbs, white and powdery blossoms, leather and sweet resins. Warm and individual, it rewards those fond of historic perfumery.
