Sunkissed Hibiscus

Beachy, gorgeous, sweet, warm, creamy, tropical, floral, lush, feminine, sensual, seductive, classy, elegant, chic, luxurious, inviting, addictive, nostalgic I did previously review this, but wanted to write an updated one in hopes of describing it better. Wow! What a divine and sexy beachy fragrance... they really nailed it for the perfect sexy, gorgeous, and warm beach vibe! Hands down 1 of my all time top favorites (Tom Ford Soleil Blanc is tied with this one for my favorite in this category) A lovely mixture of sweet, tropical, and creamy coconut, tropical, sweet, and slightly buttery frangipani, creamy tuberose, sweet and slightly citrusy orange blossom, lush gardenia, and all beautifully warmed with golden amber! It’s even got the perfect touch of that sweet sun tan lotion like scent, only better, more chic and luxurious. I’d even say that it’s a unique beachy scent that’s almost gourmand! This is warmer than most of the others I own in this scent profile, so I do actually find this to be rather unique in a really wonderful and sexy way! It has an almost monoi oil like scent to it too. Sunkissed is quite correct in describing it! It brings to mind sun warming my skin, long walks on beautiful white sand beaches with clear aqua water, palm trees swaying in a gentle ocean breeze that carries the scent of tropical and solar florals. I very highly recommend this stunning beachy fragrance! If you love beachy/coconut/monoi oil/sun tan lotion-esque scents I absolutely suggest at the very least trying this beautiful gem! I have been using it for years, and it’s one of the very few in my collection that I have actually replaced bottles of! The only thing that I think I should mention is that even though the name is Sunkissed Hibiscus this doesn’t have a hibiscus scent that I can pick up, or a hibiscus note listed anywhere. That’s not an issue for me personally because I truly adore the fragrance just the way it is, but if you’re hoping for a hibiscus fragrance you’ll want to look elsewhere. To me this definitely feels feminine, and like it would suit women of any age. I do think this is best suited for the warmer weather of late spring and summer, but it’s also great to wear during the fall and winter, especially if you want to evoke feelings of the beach, warmth, and summertime. I feel like this is fitting for all occasions, from the most casual, to fancy, and even for work and/or school. It seems to be quite crowd pleasing, and it’s one of my most complimented fragrances. I’m truly obsessed with Sunkissed Hibiscus, and I wear this super regularly (especially during the warmer weather) in my rotation of beachy fragrances along with Soleil Blanc, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Kayali Maldives in a Bottle, Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar, Sand, SDJ 39, B&BW Coco Paradise, and several others that I really enjoy, but don’t wear quite as regularly as the ones I’ve mentioned here. I really enjoy pairing this with some different B&BW lotions like Coco Paradise, At The Beach, Oahu Coconut Sunset, Honolulu Sun, and a few others. I do see a similarity between Sunkissed Hibiscus and some of these other favorites of mine (especially Soleil Blanc, Beach Walk, Monoi Eau des Vahines), but I also find it different enough to have a variety of these in my collection. I get excellent performance with Sunkissed Hibiscus. The longevity is great, it lasts the entire day on me. The projection is nice, it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me. Also, the bottle is absolutely stunning! I truly adore the gorgeous, tropical, and colorful artwork on it! I love that they even make the travel sizes pretty with this gorgeous hibiscus design! I have this in the 50ml (largest bottle they make), travel spray, and a set with a dry body oil mist and 6ml of the perfume. I’ll always keep this one in my collection, so I hope Nest never discontinues it. I also have their Golden Nectar and Vanilla Bourbon perfumes which I really enjoy! Plus, I also have minis and/or travel sizes of all of their perfume oils (Balinese Coconut, Madagascar Vanilla, and South Pacific Sandalwood are my favorites of the oils).

Beautiful, but so fleeting! I went on a serious *hunt* this summer for a coconut-floral ultra feminine beauty, and Sunkissed Hibiscus was one of the contenders I chose to try. It is creamy coconut meets flirty white florals with a sensual base of amber, but it all disappears into a distant memory after just a couple of hours. It's a little too well-blended, if you know what I mean, because it is quite linear from opening to dry-down. You're never really experiencing any notes by themselves, which I don't mind only because I like the profile combo so much. Longevity and sillage are light, so if you're looking for this scent profile in polite mode, SH is the one for you. If you want to know the results of the contest, my winning coconut-floral fragrance this Summer is Borabora by GDT. It's got a very similar profile to SH but lasts seriously until you decide to wash it off. I can sleep in Borabora and wake up smelling like it. Magic. Delicious. Borabora also dries down into a more mature amber than SH while retaining the solar coconut-floral beat, which makes it my winner and now one of the most cherished bottles in my collection. As for Nest as a fragrance house, shame on them for the packaging of my bottle of SH. I ordered a full-size bottle of it as a first-time Nest customer, and they didn't include any samples in my package, which is just tacky. There wasn't even any padding in the box, just my perfume banging and sloshing around all the way to my doorstep. I'm a sucker for this scent profile, so I still *love* SH, but again it's too light for me and I think there are other scents out there that do this in a more intense way, which is what I personally enjoy. Give me fairy, or give me death!

Wow! What a divine and sexy beachy fragrance... they really nailed it for the perfect sexy, gorgeous, and warm beach vibe! Hands down 1 of my all time top favorites (Tom Ford Soleil Blanc and Replica Beach Walk are up there too!)! A lovely mixture of sweet and creamy coconut, just the right solar florals, and beautifully warmed with amber! It’s even got the perfect touch of that sweet sun tan lotion like scent, only better and more chic! I’d even say that it’s a unique beachy gourmand! It’s warmer than most of the others I own in this scent profile, so I do actually find this to be rather unique in a really wonderful and sexy way! I’m truly obsessed and wear this regularly in my rotation of beachy fragrances along with Soleil Blanc, Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Kate Spade Live Colorfully, and a few others! I get excellent performance with this... it can be smelled from a few feet away, and as for longevity, well I can still smell it on me in the morning! Sunkissed is quite correct in describing it! I very highly recommend this stunning beachy gourmand fragrance! If you love beachy/coconut/sun tan lotion-esque scents I absolutely suggest at least trying this beautiful gem!

To me this is gorgeous ❤️ A tropical island, beachy Coconut, Frangipani Gardenia. Sunkissed Hibiscus is a mood lifter, a soothing relaxed vibe, a hug in a perfume. There are so many beachy Coconut fragrances out there, yet I find this to be much better quality than most. Yes, it's well blended, creamier, smother but there is something else about it. Orange Blossom is not so often used in this combination of notes, and I do notice it here. Along with something else. I thought maybe Amberette and a slightly sweet red berry were unlisted notes, but my Hibiscus tea gave me the answer. The unlisted note that enhances the feeling of comfort Sunkissed Hibiscus gives me. The projection and sillage are moderate, I'd have preferred a stronger performer, but layering body products to boost performance is easily done with this fragrance. Using a perfume oil base, like Balinese Coconut, also works well to add some extra staying power. I didn't realise that Sunkissed Hibiscus was being discontinued, so now I'm hunting everywhere for a second bottle!

I reviewed this before, BUT hear me out... I sprayed this in store before leaving on the hunt for a new perfume. Initially I was like oh another BBW summer coconut smell. I asked my husband what he thought and he said smells fine. Fine? Imma need more than fine for that price. Later on after getting home, we were watching TV and I kept smelling whiffs of a lovely floral coconut with an amber base. Smelled so good and then realized it was my sweater sleeve. Two days later, that sleeve still smells of this. So while yes, it does smell like a wonderful summer coconut spray you'd buy at BBW, no BBW body spray has lasted on my sleeves for several days. I'm sure it's lasted longer from the cold weather, but I went from meh to OMG I NEED this in an afternoon. I so appreciate this in a perfume form! It smells great now (fall) but I'm so excited to wear this in the summer! This is one I will be layering with bumbum cream/spray. If you love Alien Goddess, you will definitely like this! Just give it awhile to blend together ❤️

I bought the set of 7 perfume oils from Nest, and this was one of them. I wanna know what sunscreen the other reviewers are talking about, because I've never smelled sunscreen like this! It was love at first sniff for me. I didn't detect the coconut at first, but I smelled it in the second application. I love that it has sweet surprises like that. Sure, it doesn't have longevity or sillage, but I don't care about those. It doesn't trigger my allergies and asthma, and that's what matters to me. I do get the comparison to Soleil Blanc, but I honestly prefer Sunkissed Hibiscus. Soleil Blanc is too powdery for me, and has an awful mix of cardamom (my fiancé hates this) and pepper, with a very prominent jasmine note, which is an "old lady" scent where I come from. Yes, Soleil Blanc has the sillage and projection, but that just means asthma and allergies for me. If you've got a sensitive nose and want to smell good for summer, I highly recommend the Nest perfume oils.

This is my first Nest fragrance, and I have to say. . .I'm impressed. I was on the hunt for the "perfect" summer vacation fragrance. I really like the Bath & Body Works Hibiscus Paradise line and wanted something that smells similar, with a prominent coconut notes. Sunkissed Hibiscus really hit the nail on the head. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I can't wait to wear this on my upcoming vacation, I'll probably layer it with B&BW Hibiscus Paradise body care line. Longevity is decent, I'd say around 4-6 hours. Sillage is a little on the softer side, I don't think anyone would really smell you as you walk past. I think they'd have to be pretty close to you to catch a whiff. Overall, I'm very pleased with this scent. I only picked up the travel size from Sephora, but I think I'll be picking up a full bottle once I'm through with the travel.

I'm very impressed with this fragrance. It has sensual summer vibes and while the coconut is there - it is very creamy and mature. It doesn't smell gourmand or like sunscreen. It smells like someone with good taste, confidence (doesn't need a loud fragrance to be noticed), during a hot summer day, with suntan lotion in their bag. To me, the middle notes are downplayed as this doesn't smell like a white floral. I'm very surprised it doesn't have a cashmeran or musk base note as that's what I get. This isn't an "in your face scent", which I'm loving, but people still compliment me on it at the end of the day and I can still smell in on my clothes the next day so it's not as weak as people are reporting. I listed it as more feminine but this could pull unisex, as well, as there's depth to it. I'm getting a ton of compliments on this beauty!

I felt compelled to write this review because this morning I was running late for work as usual. I desperately need to do laundry so I rifled through my pile of clothes, found a t-shirt that looked clean and threw it over my head. Instantly I was hit with a rush of coconut, beachy, yummy scent. I haven't worn this shirt or even used sunkissed hibiscus in well over a month. As I'm sitting here at work I just keep getting small, delicious whiffs as I move around. This is definitely a very beachy scent, I think it's an exact dupe for At The Beach by BBW. The longevity is what really makes this one prevail however. I feel like this scent lasts all day and I wake up still smelling it on my skin.

I am a sucker for beachy / coconutty scents, so I had to snap this up. I bought it as part of the Sephora gift set (a 50 mL bottle with a travel spray) at a great price. I LOVE it. Moderate longevity with excellent projection for the first three hours. It’s similar to both Alien Goddess and Soleil Blanc, in my opinion. Soleil Blanc is more powdery and unisex, and Alien Goddess has more of a vanilla/musky undertone. Sun Kissed Hibiscus really unleashes the coconut with the white florals as its trusty, loyal sidekick. Very feminine. I can tell this will be a crowd pleaser. I plan to layer with EOS Coconut Waters lotion.

I resurrected my account to defend this perfume. I think a lot of the reviewing are reviewing the rollerball that comes in the variety set, which I also had first and was disappointed by the sillage and longevity. Luckily I found a whole 1.8 oz bottle at marshalls, and I noticed a huge difference compared to the rollerball. I will spray this before work and can still smell it on my arm 8 hours later, not strong but not weak either. I don’t think the sillage improved much with the bottle but I will say I get whiffs of it on myself throughout the day (I spray twice)

Agree with the reviews saying it's different than the sunscreeny summer perfumes. I actually find this scent to be very sexy and the projection on me is crazy, I LOVE summer scents and don't think it compares to soleil blanc or beach walk as this is creamier and warmer. I actually wouldn't wear this during the day because of the projection and warmth, I think it's the embodiment of dancing the night away at a beach party/going to a dinner on the water. Longevity isn't bad on me, especially compared to beach walk that disappears within an hour or two.

Frangipani and coconut? Need I say more?! YUM! I adore any fragrance with those notes! And this one does not disappoint! I have the travel spray and I find myself randomly spraying this on when I want a mood pick up! This smells like a tropical resort with a lush garden of white florals in the courtyard, and I'm walking through drinking a Pina Coloda. This scent almost makes me think if Aerin Hibiscus Palm and Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess had a tropical baby girl with a Plumeria flower in her hair. So cute! This is an amazing summer fragrance!

Starts off with biggg warm tropical juiciness.. then tones down to a sweeter vanilla with juuust a hit of depth at the end. Of all my big sexy tropical floral fragrances this is the only one I think could swing as an "everyday"... it smells warm, juicy, grown and sexy-- but is somehow not overpowering or too much. I honestly think this would work better in the winter than summer because of the vanilla notes-- even though the "sunkissed" and "hibiscus" would make most people think summer.

I love this fragrance so much. It doesn't smell like what is typically marketed as "beachy" to me, and I get no suntan lotion scent. Nor do I get any of the cupcake smells other reviewers describe. But it does in fact, smell beachy, in the best way possible! It smells like watching flowers coming back out after a tropical storm, drinking coconut water. It smells dewy, and pure, and delicately sweet. Sunkissed hibiscus is a lovely, elegant and happy fragrance. Will absolutely repurchase.

Warm buttery coconut with tropical flowers, just heavenly! This is the coconut scent I’ve been searching for!, this lasts for ages and it projects really well too, which in my opinion makes this well worth the money. I love the amber in the base it just add that warmth to the coconut making it sweet thick and buttery. I have an 8 ml travel spray but there’s a full bottle coming my way. I can’t wait to wear this for spring and summer. .

A warm summer scent for lovers of sunscreen notes. This is an easy summertime reach, wears very nice in hot hot weather. The dry down to me gives a fresh solar note that’s also a bit peppery. I love love love this. I really enjoy pairing it with a tropical body spray for added longevity. This unfortunately doesn’t last that long on me, maybe 2 hours max but for the price I don’t mind reapplying. You can get this at Tjmaxx for 30$.

I want this just for the bottle. It looks so cool! And the notes look safe. Update: this is a nice summer perfume, nothing more, nothing less. Updated update: Ok this is the last time I review a perfume before wearing it. This is amazing! I'm wearing it now and I love it! I wasn't as impressed after just sniffing the bottle. This is a good quality summer perfume!

I love this fragrance. It’s warm amber and plumeria with a yummy swath of coconut 😋 If I inhale really deep I can get the slightly herbal tuberose way in the background. It’s a perfect solar summer scent. I layer it with Nest Madagascar Vanilla oil to make it last and radiate. It’s not super unique but I think if you like amber and frangipani you’d love it.

The perfect creamy summertime floral. I personally don’t find a bright coconut note but more of a subdued, confectionery coconut straight from baking on the sun. Warm florals allow it to say “I’m beachy but also refined”. Great Ambery nuances without being any one category. Performance isn’t great but it’s a cozy summer scent worth trying!

Pretty good dupe of Soleil Blanc, actually better imo!! SB has a pretty strong sunscreen note (I’m thinking calone ?). This also has that note but more toned down and therefore, I much prefer. I’d like to be reminded of sunscreen rather than smelling straight up like sunscreen. Edit: longevity is to be desired unfortunately.

LOVE. Blooms in warmer weather, beautiful tropical. SUN SOLAR TROPICAL FLORAL. Strong coconut frangipani and gardenia (reads a bit like tiare) with a warm ambery dry down. It is a bit like Fragonard Belle de Soleil meets Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess meets Aerin Hibiscus Palm. It is wonderful summery tropical scent.

Coconutty but not too much. Fresh and clean. Smelled like coming out of a hair salon on a hot summer day. Warm, ambery and indolic. Creamy, comforting and beachy without smelling like sunscreen. Kind of sweet. To me it is truly pleasant. I like to layer it with Crystal Noir by Versace.

The opening is coconut hibiscus frangipani, the gardenia and tuberous add creaminess and the orange blossom adds a brightness. Dry down is sugary vanilla. This is an overall happy pleasant tropical fragrance. Vibes like Beach Walk, shade of sunrise, live colorfully and red hibiscus.

I honestly adore this scent. To me, it smells like spending the day at a tropical beach then watching the sun set. It’s a perfect summer scent, in my opinion. It does have a hint of sunscreen smell, but I personally love that and feel like it just adds to the summer vibes.

I have a travel size coming in the mail of this. It's my second one. This mixes really well with Tom Ford's eau de Soliel Blanc. I bring it to touch that up when I'm out and about. I love this scent. I think I'll be buying a full bottle soon.

This is so so so so amazing! I blind bought this as a travel spray and I love it!! Its sweet musky gardenia/tuberose and amber. It smells like the sweet/saltyness of skin in the sun with coconut. I am very happy with this one!

This is floral fruity perfection! I got a sample in a gift set and immediately had to buy it. It elevates my mood so much and makes me feel happy and carefree. I highly recommend this if you love tropical floral fragrances!

Creamy solar and familiar without that typical sunscreen sting smell that I often attribute to aquatic and citrus but this is truly a floral beachy smell that lingers off the sarong of a beautiful tourist.

My favorite from Nest. It's a beautiful floral/coconut scent. I understand the comparison to beach walk, but to me Sunkissed Hibiscus is way less suntan lotion-y, it's creamier and warmer to my nose.

Beautiful tropical coconut sunscreen beach scent similar to Beach Walk or Soleil Blanc. One of the best in this scent profile.

I am not a Coconut Fan but this is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I think the Amber and Coconut are a perfect balance. It’s Semi Sexy.

It smells so good. Sad that the performance is so weak... I think the price is to high for that reason!

Mouth watering coconut and florals but literally NOT Hibiscus lol that's ok, still love it. 🌺

Smells like you're in Hawaii enjoying the sunset while you're having shaved ice. Soooo good

Amazing for summer solar lovers. They never should of discontinued it.

Nice salty beach fragrance, heavy on the salt. I love it

This is a beachy summer fragrance that doesn't smell like scented sunblock. (Thank God) Definitely a step above something bath and body works would come out with. (In my humble opinion) That being said... While I really think this is a great summer scent, I recommend getting your hands on a sample first to see how it works with your body chemistry. It smells lovely on me but on my friend it smelt like potpourri you would find at your grandma's house. The top notes are a whisper to be honest. That coconut is there for 20 minutes and then, POOF! Gone. The frangipani sticks around a little longer and contributes to the tropical vibe that everyone talks about in the comments. For me, it's the middle notes that really makes themselves present. They are the 3 musketeers whose teamwork carries this entire fragrance. It's a fun time for sure! Now....as someone who LOVES amber scents, bare with me as this is the only way I can describe it. There is a friends-with-benefits relationship with the Amber. What do I mean by that? It means the Amber feels like it's there out of convenience and it's not married (not the smoothest blend) to the rest of the the notes in the bottle. Like it's there.... but it leaves you wanting more than that FWB relationship you know? The dry down is amber for sure but it fades so quickly. (Like the hope I had in this fragrance because the bottle is PRETTY!) The biggest problem I have with this scent is the LONGEVITY. 2 hours at best! Lasts a bit longer if you spray on your clothes but not by much. Conclusion: Do I like it? Yes. Is it a must have? No. Signature scent worthy? Hell no. Good blind buy? Yes. If you looking for a tropical beach scent with a LITTLE louder personality than REPLICA Beach Walk. Go for it! but don't buy a full bottle initially.

Call me crazy, but I get major D&G Light blue vibes fromt this...anyone else? Also some of the warm salty skin and neroli notes remind me of the Urban Decay Go Naked oil. The orange blossom (neroli) here is very very prevalent throughout the entire day, and comes off quite sharp and citrusy to me. To my nose this smells like a more floral, neroli heavy version of Light Blue, it's quite sharp at first, but in a pleasant, zesty way, then mellows out and becomes softer but the neroli is still there the entire time to my nose. Projection has been bomb the entire day! It a very sunny, uplifting optimistic scent and will cheer up you and the ones around you...unless by the end of the day you annoy them with the scent...like I said, projection is not shy and everyone will smell you. I want to wear this and Light blue on different wrists and the same time to see which I prefer, because i don't think I need both. I have a hunch I'm going to stick with my Light blue because its actually softer and less sharp and it fades enough by the end of the day that I dont get sick of the smell.

I've never been a big fan of fruity, sweet fragrances, but this is an example of something in that genre done well for its price point. It is undoubtedly fruity and sweet, but it's not cloyingly sweet in a sickening way. I have traditionally found frangipani fragrances too sweet, but this strikes the right balance between fruity and floral for me. The white flowers are supporting actors here, and the orange blossom is not overpowering like it often can be. While coconut is (arguably) the only fruit present in the notes, this scent evokes tropical fruit like mangos and papayas in the way you might smell them passing fruit vendors cutting them up for customers. The amber warms everything up and gives an almost solar feel to the entire fragrance. Like many scents in this price range, the performance isn't amazing. A travel size would probably be perfect so you can reapply as often as you need. I probably won't buy a larger size, but I would be happy if someone gifted this to me. Not entirely my style, but I will happily wear out the sample this summer. 7.5/10.

Sunkissed Hibiscus lives up to its name–this is a delightfully warm, friendly, sunny, sunscreen-esque fragrance tailor made for tropical, or at least warm and colorful climes. The scent does evoke vacations, beaches, warm places bedazzled with swaths of white flowers. It has a slightly lactonic and buttery accord to it–I believe that's the frangipani, which is probably the most forward note, with the vanilla a close second. The coconut reads less fruity and more milky. The amber adds to that warmth and the respectable, four-hour longevity. The projection is decent–about less than an arm's length, but strong enough to be detected. I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who would dislike this. It's not the most unique or memorable fragrance, but it's so sweet and enjoyable that such shortcomings can be forgiven. I'd compare it to a milder, less white-floral forward Terracotta by Guerlain, a similarly milky-buttery frangipani-forward Coconut Sun by 7 Virtues, or a less aggressively vanilla Alien Goddess.

☆Summer beach fun vibes☆ Coconut cream sweetened with frangipani and sprayed over a previous layer of Body Shop's Mango body butter, which smells a little peachy too. (◠‿◠✿) Hibiscus is just an illusion. Which is funny because its like ordering a turkey sandwich and there's no turkey. It was just prepared during the American Thanksgiving holiday. ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄ Also, is anyone else getting a tiny hint of buttery popcorn???? Weird, but I'm totally getting that. Like a county fair by the beach. This isn't romantic like TF's Soleil Blanc, or serious like Beach Walk, but definitely the young fun hipster cousin that drove up from Southern California's OB to hang out with the posh family at the yearly summer vacation at their summer La Jolla home. She somewhat fits in only because she's family. It's a cute, young, fun, and easy summer grab. Hope this helps ツ

most of the time i use fragrances to enhance a mood or personality aspects. but sometimes i need a perfume that just serves a single precious proustian purpose: nostalgia. this smells of suntan lotion on your warmed skin, coconut daiquiris on a deck surrounded by gardenias. it also transported me to the bedroom of my childhood best friend, who wore bobbi brown beach--so while i haven't compared the two side by side, they've gotta be similar despite the ostensibly differing notes. it's nothing extraordinary or unique, but it's undeniably comforting and perfectly executes its 'sunkissed' purpose. doesn't last forever on the skin, but that's not exactly what i'm looking for from this fragrance anyway. in this age of quarantine, if you need to be transported to that *other* type of slow day--that worry free, sandy kind--this i'll do it.

The opening of this...I adore. It's an ice-creamy coconut and tangy plumeria (frangipani)! This is extremely summery, and has undertones of warm skin. I wish it lasted longer. The tuberose is a little raw, and I don't think this is over-sweetened...thankfully. I don't mind bubble-gummy tuberose (think Truth or Dare), but it's refreshing to get florals that are more plant-y. I dont get any amber here, it dries down to a green and white floral after the coconut evaporates. This is quite casual and relaxing, I still think it's overpriced, but I do enjoy this more than a couple of other Nest fragrances. Longevity is decent, sillage is slight, but it might bloom more in the sun 🏖

Nest fragrances appear to have well balanced compositions, from what I tried. It was difficult to choose between sunkissed hibiscus or golden nectar. In the end I decided to go for hibiscus because the lasting power seemed better and the scent was more unique. I do mainly get a dry, baked, warm coconut with strong amber note and tuberose in the background. There is some sweetness and creaminess from the frangipani but it is not very isolated, more blended in. To me this is surely a summer scent but it feels like it would suit nighttime better, as it has a warm and powdery character. The lasting power is quiet weak, about 3 hours on me.

I tested Sunkissed Hibiscus a few years ago at Sephora. I remember really liking it and wanting to get a sample to properly test it. It's been almost 3 years, but I finally got a sample. This smells so different from what I remember! It smells like that typical coconut sunscreen scent. I used to adore this when I was younger, but I find that my tastes have definitely changed. I no longer crave this kind of scent, even in summer. Although I will say this is probably the best of the coconut sunscreen scents I have tried. Also, my boyfriend really liked this on me. He said it smelled like we were on our honeymoon!

Honestly, smells very very close to Lattafa Yara Moi. Dry down smells almost the exact to me. Opener is a little more fresh smelling than Moi. I think Moi has more staying power and half the price. It does smell good, it’s a warmer summertime scent with the amber and coconut combo that it pulls. So it’s warm yet fresh if you get what I mean. I like it but I’m not a warm summer fragrance person. So I honestly will probably wear it on my cooler spring and fall days. Disappointed with who quickly it disappears. Edit: Returned because it disappears so fast. Like ridiculously fast. Not worth $20 let alone $100.

Bought a travel spray of this today based on sampling at Sephora. This is creamy, milky coconut and tuberose. Very tropical. I also own Bronze Goddess by Estee Lauder. This is a lot more milky and a true coconut scent and Bronze Goddess is more vanilla and a little spice. Both are great beach scents. I could buy a full bottle of this for my baby sister and she would be in heaven, it is a very good true coconut perfume. 10/24/21 Giving the travel spray to my sister for Christmas. I think it would be more her taste. I do like Bronze Goddess by Estee Lauder better.

The amber in this leans a little too head-shoppy for me and I kind of wish the coconut lasted longer as I really love sunscreen scents, but I'll happily use up the rest of my trial size. Edit: The more I wear it, the more I like it. My partner said he likes it and feels like it is more of a skin scent than other perfumes I've tried recently. Indigo is still my favorite of the Nest trial pack, but I may get a travel size of Sunkissed Hibiscus. I don't personally get any kind of cheap feeling from this one, like other reviewers have.

Imagine that you're on a tropical beach with your favorite swimsuit on- soaking up all the sun's rays and your skin is loving it! What I smell: Lots of strong tuberose and gardenia with a touch of sweetness, possibly from the coconut note. There's a bit of creaminess as well. There may be some vanilla and orange blossom in there too. Definitely a warm floral! This lasts about 12 hours on my skin with some projection. The dry-down for me is a salty vanilla tuberose combination. It's worth a sniff if you like warm, white florals!
