Hibiscus Paradise

This is a sweet summer time fruity floral scent. The body spray and the perfume are both pretty good and in the same category; light scent, not a big long lasting fragrance. Something to put on during a hot summer day to smell good, sweet, floral. For me the hibiscus is huge. You have to be in florals and especially hibiscus. The guava and the coconut give it a fruity freshness and watery touch. Like a delicious fruit drink. Guava is stronger than the coconut. My nose mostly detects hibiscus and guava, giving it a bright summery feel and tropical but not enough to be a 'paradise'. It would need more flowers and fruit for that. This is a simple aroma and can even be worn by children or teens. But it does smell mainly like a fresh hibiscus hair spray. This smells so good on my hair more than my clothes. I love to wear this to the beach. Also gives you the Hawaiian island vibes. So wear it on vacation in Hawaii ! Simple, not a big statement maker. Leans more feminine than unisex but anyone who likes hibiscus and guava are gonna like it. I am not picking up on the coconut. There is a touch of vanilla and musk at the dry down. Not bad. Bath & Body Works are just happy mood lifting fragrances for anyone of any age.

I first smelled this on a client when I was first meeting with her to discuss her design plans for her new home. When I first met her I was completely enveloped by this other-worldly smell and I must have complimented her 3 times in the hour and a half we were together. I went out an bought Hibiscus Paradise that night. I get a salt note in there somewhere, although no salt is listed. It gives me a bit of Ellis Brooklyn Salt, a bit of Alien Goddess Intense, and a bit of Demeter Hibiscus. This definitely does not give me sunscreen vibe. I rather intensely dislike sunscreen vibes. The guava and gardenia are in there, but they are way in the background -- more like supporting characters. I would never have picked those notes out independently if someone hadn't pointed them out to me. I own well over 100 fragrances and this has got to be one of my favorites for an easy summertime reach.

This smells like Herbal Essences Hello hydration/ Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shampoo

Gardenia and coconut is what I get from hibiscus Paradise. I believe this was released in 2020 but this has a retro vibe. I own the entire line of Hibiscus Paradise: body wash, lotion, cream, fine fragrance mist, and perfume! This is reminiscent of 80s and 90s gardenia scents. I love taking a bubble bath with the body wash and finishing with the body cream. This is like a modernized “White Shoulders” without tuberose or a coconut Elizabeth Arden “Gardenia” with less jasmine and less green notes. Those are old school classics which take a certain personality to work. Even though I own the entire line, I think it is a bit too much to wear the fine fragrance mist with the cream and lotion. I really like this but this is a love or hate fragrance. I find it clean and tropical.

It’s a powdery creamy Coconut wich i actually like, smells verry similar to Island away by Victoria secret. It would’ve been a 10/10 but it doesn’t last..i was expecting at least 3 4 hours.
