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

Hili is a beautiful sexy smooth fragrance. I love it. Gorgeous. Sooo well blended tuberose, jasmine, ylangylang, tiare, with a hint of coconut that reads more creamy. It is a gorgeous hypnotic sort of tropical floral but not "beachy." The coriander is OK, I was worried since I hate coriander in perfumes. It is just enough to give the scent freshness and doesn't go soapy. I actually don't detect patchouli, AT ALL (thank gawd), and not picking up on tobacco. Very feminine, has a very "perfumey" quality. But LOVE. Amazing longevity and only 2 sprays. Also strong. if you are testing anything else -- this scent will over power another, and its hard to wear another fragrance even 10 hours later because this is still around and dominates.

This is a stunning perfume! Absolute class, blended to exquisite perfection, it is my go to for when I want to impress. Too beautiful for everyday wear or the office, this one is to be saved for those special occasions, like a date with a handsome, charismatic man or a really classy, fancy party. I get lots of spicy notes from it, as well as a really addictive, original take on tobacco, patchouli and coconut. Whenever I wear this I can’t stop smelling my wrists and I always get complimented on it. To be honest I’m glad it’s not so well known, as I would want to keep it a secret for as long as possible..

I really love this perfume. On me, it is quite light but I can smell it all day. Doesn't seem to project much, my husband always tells me I stink if he can smell my perfume, whether he likes it or not. He hasn't noticed this one. To me, it just smells lovely. I wouldn't say I can detect any individual notes, it is very smooth. I think, on the first spray, it reminds me a bit of Rehab by Initio. Not exactly the same smell, but similar in that airy, sexy nature. It's the first perfume I've worn consecutively for days and I'm a compulsive perfume addict. So that says something.

I've been testing this beauty the last few days and she will most certainly have a permanent place in my collection soon. @Dramaloladiva said it best. Hili is a far more superior, well blended fragrance than my beloved Oud Jaune Intense. Hili is smoother, creamier, less in your face with much better longetivity than OJI. Although, they both share notes of Tiare flower and tuberose, I still need both in my collection. Hili is best suited for those who truly, and unapolegitically adore tuberose. EDIT: Purchased a FB. I'm happy.

Wow! This is my favorite kind of floral -- sweet, warmly spiced, velvety and dreamy. Lush and intoxicating flowers on a bed of vanilla with a touch of well-blended spices to tone down the sweetness. I cannot detect the patchouli on my skin, I do get some creamy wood, warm amber and a dusting of tobacco leaf in the dry down. A feminine and romantic scent. WIDIAN HILI's beautiful aroma lingered on the skin for over 8 hours. So much better than I expected, I believe a full bottle is in my future.

Hili was my Valentines day gift. And it is absolutely stunning, from the outer box to the actual inner presentation box, and finally the actual perfume (well, extract). I could not be happier, I wanted it for a few years now, and opening it today made me realize how lucky I am to have the opportunity to actually not only experience so many perfumes in my life, but to actually have them, hod them and wear them. Hili is beautiful ❤️

My experience after I tested 3 times: very strong and will kill other fragrances around you or on you. It may seem boring and linear when you smell from yourself for a long time, but the sillage is wonderful. I got compliments from my husband and when I smell it from my friend nearby it sounded very deep and made my nose follow that fantastic trail.

This is one of my favorite perfume discoveries! This smells like pure luxury and the heavy bottle and packaging matches the scent. It has a tropical feel, but it is not a sunscreen scent. It has freshness, but it is also rich. I find it very elegant and feminine. The longevity and sillage are amazing too. This is a 10/10 fragrance for me!

This is stunning and intoxicating. It’s like a mix between Oud Jaune Intense by FDB and Rouge Malachite. It’s so smooth and feminine. Tuberose and Jasmine plus Tiare coconut and ylang gives that tropical feel. It’s so pretty. Also a bit spicy. Just don’t over spray, the power of this fragrance is insane.

Adorable! White flowers with a touch of spices and a little bit of oud. Very strong, can cause headache by the end of the day in the wrong climate. This one requires hot summer in my opinion

Best sexy Smelling ever!! White flower with vanilla, coconut and amber. Super long lasting and great sillage.

Very elegant, feminine and absolutely powerful! Just little bit of this...it will stay and stay and stay.

Yowza. Silky-smooth creamy-soft heaven-scented tropical beach paradise done to 5* ultraluxe standards and just devastatingly good. This kind of deal is not my world: I am an urban urchin who likes things dark cheap and spicy and a little odd, so feel rather self-conscious in upscale settings where people's tiny designer bikinis are worth more than everything I stand up in. Big-petal femme floral perfumes often smother me. And YIKES: someone invited my #1 nemesis and scent bully to the resort: that yelling, flashy, bosomy gal called Tuberose who I just can't deal with at all. I approached this with paranoid caution and sprayed carefully... ... and went tumbling right down the luxury scented rabbit hole of gorgeous. Hits all the buttons just so beautifully: coconut that's rich but not oily, vanilla that's sweet but not fakey, beautiful spice and aromatic touches dabbing in just the right amount of dappled light and subtle shade, merging almost into sweet-musky skin at the bottom. Never smells of sunscreen, just of the pure essence of a beautiful coastal holiday. Most amazing of all: even the tuberose I can enjoy! While still lush and nearly-fruity, it's carefully cooled, almost mentholated, and not amped too high, meaning that even I can enjoy its company. The tiare, jasmine and ylang are also all perceptibly, really, genuinely in there and all done with incredible skill - you honestly can pick out and enjoy each in turn and each swells to play its own solo over the course of its time on your skin. Which is also wonderfully long: Hili easily lasts a full day's wear so this is one gorgeous garment that can also survive contact with the real world. What a win. Didn't expect to even like it. But finally, finally ... this is a tuberose-having big femme floral I can love. (Or at least: I COULD love, but ... only in a world where money was no object. Price is horrific - but still justified, I think, for this is fit to joust with the likes of Puredistance Opardu or Kilian Midnight in Heaven (minus the mango) or Fort & Manle's Jardins du Giverny. It is, probably, worth it - and I hesitate to say that about anything at this price that isn't genuinely unique. It's just leagues BETTER than a million other, cheaper things in this tropical-fantasy ballpark. in short: HILI is HIGHLY desirable. If your budget allows: DO IT! *chef's kiss*

I kind of hate how much I like this. I don’t think there’s a way to find it reasonably priced. I typically find coconut to out-shine all other notes and don’t appreciate that. Here it has finally successfully been kept subtle, just supporting the white floral main characters. I also find this scent to have a rare balance of just the right amount of sweetness to complement the florals without over-doing it. This is beautiful and classy. It is ALMOST too pungent for me but not quite, which I assume is the tuberose. A tad less would be perfect but overall I do like the balance of all the different flowers. The cinnamon is there but super subtle - perfect. All other notes just support this perfectly without being very noticeable. It’s not that there’s nothing else like this out there, but it might just be the best version of what it’s trying to be.

I am anosmic to this on me. If I spray it to clothes I can smell a sort of pleasant-ish kinda shower gel like scent. I am really sure this is not how this perfume actually smells like for others. Update: Actually I had COVID hence I was anosmic! Now I can smell it, it's a nice Christmas time fragrance, elegant, powdery, vanilla, tuberose and yes the tiare.. Truly lovely. Does it worth that much? If you have a lot of money I think so. Timeless and elegant, and special, people will notice it, no doubt.
