Key Notes of Hibiscus

What Does Hibiscus Smell Like

The scent of Hibiscus by Zara is primarily dominated by a fruity aroma. Upon first smell, you are greeted by a refreshing citrus burst from bitter and mandarin oranges. As the initial zest subsides, you start noticing the floral heart. The hibiscus note stands out prominently, adding its unique, slightly acidic yet sweet fragrance. The peony note adds an airy lightness to the composition, diffusing the dominance of hibiscus while contributing a subtle rosy hint. Interestingly, the fruity middle notes of mango and passion fruit make a shy appearance, merely hinting at their tropical presence. As the fragrance begins to settle, the base notes come forth. The vanilla orchid adds a creamy touch to the fragrance while the hint of amber adds a warm depth, albeit very lightly. There is an overall sweet undertone to the fragrance, countered by synthetic, woody, and powdery nuances, which together create a delightful olfactory experience. The scent finishes with a slightly gourmand touch, rounded out by a certain freshness. We believe that the scent seems to oscillate between fruity, floral, and creamy realms, creating a vibrant array of sensory experiences. However, it's noticeable that certain notes are faint and could have been emphasized more for an even richer fragrance profile.

Review of Hibiscus

Zara's Hibiscus perfume is a noticeable yet not too overpowering fragrance primarily aimed at women. We find it carries a dominant fruity scent with a delightful undertone of sweet notes and floral hints, arguably making it an ideal choice for those with a preference for such scent profiles. The most standout feature is the presence of hibiscus and peony, creating a pleasant blend that's accentuated by the creamy and woody undertones.

We believe this perfume shines in warmer weather, making it a suitable choice for summer and spring. It's versatile enough for daily use, yet also fitting for leisurely outings. If you're looking for a scent to accompany you to work or a night out, Hibiscus can be a viable option, although it may not be the first choice for more formal or colder occasions.

In terms of longevity and projection, the perfume has a reasonable lasting power but may require reapplication for a lasting presence throughout the day. As for value, we find that it offers good quality for its price, making it a solid choice for those on a budget.

However, we feel that the synthetic note could be off-putting to some, particularly those seeking a more natural fragrance. Also, some users may find the perfume's sweetness somewhat overbearing. But overall, Zara's Hibiscus is a reliable, everyday perfume that provides a satisfactory scent experience.
