What does Red Hibiscus smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind summer, and winter gets the fewest votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and it also works at the office. In the character votes, feminine leads, with modern in second place.

It opens with a bright lift from mandarin orange and lime. The heart is floral, built on ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac and red hibiscus, and vanilla in the base sweetens it into a creamy finish. Bachs Jasmine & Vanilla and Parfums de Marly Meliora have a close profile.
