What does Yellow Hibiscus smell like?

It opens with yellow hibiscus and lime, a bright, lightly fruity start. In the heart, jasmine sambac and rose soften the floral side, and white musk leaves a creamy, clean trace at the base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and never overwhelms. Half of the voters pick summer, with spring next; daily wear, leisure and the office are the moments it suits best. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classified as unisex. Byredo Sundazed and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa Verde have a close profile.
