Hili

I love floral scents so much, in fact, it is one of my favorite genres in perfumery, with that being said, let me be very clear, I’ve never tried a floral perfume as beautiful and radiant as the new Hili by Widian. This is so lush, I feel like I’m living inside a garden, Hili is truly Intoxicating in every possible way. The bouquet of flowers smells alive, is so tridimensional when first sprayed on skin, that you have to do a second take to realize that you’re smelling a perfume, with jasmine and ylang-ylang paired to energizing citrus to awaken the senses, followed by tuberose and creamy coconut infused into Tiare Flower developing a tropical concoction, but there’s a spicy character to the scent as well throughout the development that carries certain masculinity, preventing it from becoming a feminine scent. The olfactory facets are split between sweet, creamy and bitter greens for a perfect contrast and the final result is truly exotic smelling. As the fragrance unfolds on skin the coconut gets creamier while the floral accords begin to mellow out just a bit to meet in the base with cedar for some depth. Overall, to summarize Hili in a few words, I would say Tropical, Floral, Bewitching. Highly recommended.

Oh Wow! This is the sexiest, most unique, and best Jasmine perfume I've ever smelled!!! And yes, I mostly smell Jasmine, not Tuberose. I haven't smelled a Jasmine scent quite like this. It's a bit in the same vain as Acqua Di Parma Gelsomino Nobile (which was my favorite Jasmine perfume, until now of course!), with the same woody undertone from the Cedar, but it has an additional kick (likely from the Tobacco or Pink Pepper)!!! Very long lasting! I only sampled in a shop, but upon spraying on wrist, it lasted 8 hours or until I bathed (it would have lasted longer). The drydown has more Tuberose and Gardenia, while the Jasmine fades. The drydown is a bit like the inital phase of Parfums de Marly Sedbury minus the powder. Smell: 10 Sillage: 9 (you will leave a trail and will also create a trail of men behind you) Longevity: 10 (I believe this will last over 12 hours) Conclusion: One of the sexiest Jasmine scents I've smelled (and also one of the sexiest perfumes I've smelled). Very unique with amazing performance. Must have for Jasmine lovers. Will buy!!!

Ridiculously beautiful narcotic tropical floral. I’m totally leaning into florals this year and this one is my top pick with Bora Bora trailing. Sweet Tuberose (similar to the note in Rouge Malachite and Sandal Ruby) which is strong, fleshy and fruity. The tiare comes up spicy with the supporting spice notes, jasmine and Ylang all just keep popping up and in and out. Sweet vanilla and creamy coconut. I’m waiting for the warm sea breeze to gently move through my hair as I face the sea and evening will fall soon. I am expecting the crickets to start their lazy song as the birds settle for the night and my beau to run his hands up my arms and settle his chin on my shoulder. Joining me as we look out over the ocean. I’m transported to Aitutaki in the South Pacfic. Sadly it’s still winter in Auckland and I’m under the heat pump 🤣 but the vibe is strong. I’m looking forward to warmer days and evenings out. This beauty will be perfect. Such a stunning and long lived fragrance.

This is so well blended and smells sooooo smooth and vibrant! I am reminded of a much softer Oud Jaune Intense by Fragrance Du Bois. It is not as screechy as Oud Jaune...at least, to my nose. However, this isn’t at all a dupe for Oud Jaune Intense. It is creamier and much better in terms of blend. Oud Jaune Intense is quite relentless on my skin whereas Hili has a softness to it; it has top, middle and base notes that tell a story calmly without trying to overpower each other. This is very much a tropical scent with subtle woodsy facets. Very subtle though. Towards the end, it has a slight tendency to veer more on the masculine side on my skin but it’s absolutely divine! Longevity is really good, 10+ hours. Projection & Sillage are moderate (and I like it that way). Overall, a wonderful experience and I am glad I own a full bottle of this beauty! It will be a repurchase for me as well because the overall execution is top notch. Plus the bottle itself is very pretty.

Hili from house of Widian is a very beautiful tropical paradise scent. It has prominent amount of mouth watering creaminess from coconut milk. This is a 🅿🅴🆁🅵🅴🅲🆃 🆂🆄🅼🅼🅴🆁 🆂🅲🅴🅽🆃 because it's fresh, sweet and powdery in a very balanced way. Wearing Hili immediately transport me to my favorite summer beaches. Hili brings holiday vacation to my mind. Although it's a tropical fragrance the complexity is very suitable for all happy leisure and social activities. It has enough of peppery touch to give a more dimension and suppress the sun tan lotion usually found in coconut based perfume. Among other Widian creations this is the softest and sits closest to skin but by no means a skin scent because it still a solid projector. I tend to overspray a lot when wearing Hili because I can never get enough of it's deliciousness. Sometimes I add one spritz of Nishane Hacivat to create a Pina colada vibes 😋 #vscentorientreview
