WoodyWhat does Hibiscus smell like?
Voters split almost evenly between spring and summer. Leisure time, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.
It opens with mandarin orange, peony and raspberry, a fruity, slightly sweet freshness. The heart of freesia, hibiscus and tiaré adds a floral, aquatic feel. In the base, musk, woods and vetiver set down a green, woody footing. Dior Holy Peony and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
