Hibiscus

"Eau de parfum where the hibiscus flower illuminates this fragrance with its opulent, fruity and delicately musky characters. A sun-drenched, sensual, and mysterious flower. A tropical citric cocktail (bitter orange, mandarin) opens this perfume with a cheerful freshness, evoking summer on an island in paradise. In the middle, peony flower dons the fruity, exotic, and colorful sides of mango and passion fruit. Vanilla orchid and amber ultimately wrap up the fragrance in delicate and soothing creaminess." Right from the top, you get a burst of citrus from the bitter orange and mandarin. The heart note fruits of mango and passion fruit are definitely adding depth to the citrus. It's super juicy, literally, like a citrus fruit punch. I think the peony blends into this so well that you barely notice it. The dry down is still that tropical punch and very subtly amber. The sillage goes for a good 1 - 3 hours and you're left with a clean girly, fruity scent that sits close to the skin. All the Zara fruity perfumes seem to leave you with a subtle clean scent after the sillage has done its job.

Fruity, tropical, girly. SO GOOD. If you know Miami Glow by JLo, it’s of the same vein in terms of fragrance type. Tropical fruits, clean, refreshing, girly, sexy. But scent wise, they give different things. Hibiscus is sexy and tropical in a way that appeals to those of all ages. It’s not super young, although the image that comes to mind for me is a 20-something on holiday. You simply cannot dislike this. It’s a pick-me-up, it’s refreshing, and although I haven’t owned it during summer months I bet it would smell EVEN BETTER in heat. In cooler weather it can disappear after 4-5 hours but I have a strong feeling that in heat it would last all day. I also imagine this fragrance would blend quite nicely with sweat if that makes sense (as in it wouldn’t sour!). For £13 you really need this one. I don’t care who you are or what your taste it, you will find pleasure in this one! I love it and recommend to all.

Tropical, juicy and sweet 🥭🍍🍊🍋🍦 It really does smell like mango, passionfruit and also pineapple even tho theres no pineapple note listed! Settles to a warm vanilla but I still get the fruits and a teensy bit of floral. It’s like eating a bowl of rich vanilla ice cream with mango and passionfruit on top (Ive eaten that combo several times 🤤). Sits closer to the skin once the vanilla starts to show but I still get whiffs hours later. Absolutely love this fragrance. The corner of my room where I sprayed still smells delicious. It reminds me of Sol De Janeiro’s limited edition Anitta spray, minus patchouli which I can appreciate because I’m not the biggest fan of that note. Not getting much tangerine or bitter orange tho. Definitely not too sweet like love dont be shy or any of those, it’s really well balanced. Backups are needed for sure 🏝 🌞 🍹 🌺 Update: why does this now remind me of My Way??

i really love this! summers here are usually really humid so i love wearing lighthearted fruity perfumes, but maybe not anything aquatic-fresh since they remind me of not-so-pleasant memories... i still look for a bit of sweetness in my perfumes and this is perfect! such a lively, lovely, sweet fruity summer fragrance! i think i’m picking up on some pineapple too and i’m loving it. it makes me feel feminine and cute. a little fresh, sweet tropical scent that doesn’t pull tart or sour. i think it works with my skin’s chemistry, it’s my first time enjoying a "tropical" scent. with the category that it's at Hibiscus could easily get generic, yet the blend is perfect. i want to wear a sundress and put flowers in my hair when i’m wearing this🌺 edit: on me lasts about 4-6 hours edit: layers beautifully with VS Bombshell & Zara Orchid. it's very feminine and elegant, yet still cheerful

I love this. I also own Solo Ella, by Loewe, and it's not a dupe at all, Solo Ella Loewe (which at first spray is straight up orange) does smell very well blended and is a totally different experience. But Hibiscus Zara is so fun and lovely and enjoyable. I love spraying it on, it's a vivid smelling fruity - mango, orange, red fruit - cocktail that is perfect for warmer weather. The silage is good, I do get wafts of this thought the day as I move right after spraying and even some time after, the projection is a bit more than arms length so again, strong for a Zara offering. Love it.

This perfume makes me feel like I’m already in a summer getaway! The tropical notes in it always leave me feeling better and energetic! Ironic how there is no hibiscus in it, but the mango! The mango note is what makes it pop. Blended with peony, the obvious vanilla dry down and amber make this my favorite scent for the summer! I think that this one won’t work on everyone, mainly because the preference of how fruity they think the scent can get. Been my rock for 2 years now, absolutely love it and reaching out for it all summer whether for going out or in vacation!

I've used this scent for 3 summers now, so it's safe to say I love it. I'm finishing my 3rd bottle, though I only wear this from May to mid September Does this have any hibiscus in it as the name suggests? No, but it's a beautiful summer fragrance. It's fruity and tropical, on me it's very mango dominant, and it reminds me of sitting in the afternoon sun with my friends eating fresh fruit and sipping on sweet drinks by the pool It lasts ~3h on my skin before it becomes a skin scent, but it's inexpensive enough for me to reapply as needed without having to worry

This is not a juvenile scent, it's not candy sweet, and it's not a typical tropical. It is a lovely melange of authentic smelling oranges. First spray is a mix of oranges with a hint of leather. The dry down gives a lovely citrus and orchid scent with a little warmth from the amber. It's a real transition like you find in high end fragrances. It lasts 2 hours, intimate sillage. The only drawback is the short life. The price is good and I really enjoy the orange and orchid mix.

Everything that Yara Tous claims to be this actually is. It’s like a better projecting version of SA Layali rouge, with the roundness of the rose and multiple fruits replaced with hibiscus and slutty jasmine (think Lush Lust). It will actually last, and either hot temps or stepping into the shower at the end of the day will make it explode. This is the best mango including fragrance I will ever own for less than $100.

HEAR ME OUT. THIS. I LOVE THIS. It's so sweet, warm, delicate, feminine, It also has a strawberry note but I don't see it on the list. I absolutely love this and I recommend yall to buy it. Hibiscus is a scent I could wear both during sammer and xmas holidays, it depends by the point of view. It lasts quite long and the dry out is excellent. 10/10 would buy again :D

this is my go-to summer perfume its fresh, citrusy and a bit fruity, a perf balance for those hot summer days. surprisingly long-lasting, its the only perfume that lasts for more than 2 hours on my skin during 35+ degree days. some days it actually lasts 6-7 hours!! i also layer this with the vs citrus lily body mist to really bring out the citrus!!

I like this one, the opening is fresh fruity scent, might come as aldehydic for some The overall performance is floral and fruity. The peony is particularly loud but it is well done. The sweetness is not cloying in warm weather. The vanilla is more present in the drydown. I just wish the base notes are a bit stronger.

As soon as you spray it, you’ll have that lovely mango and passion fruit straight away and very well blended. I wasn’t expecting it to last but this fragrance is rather lasting on my skin! Zara is certainly getting better and better at making great fragrances!! This is a steal really...

This is one of the best perfumes I have, I get compliments with it everytime I wear It, and that rarely happens with other perfumes I have. I find it to be elegant fruity juicy. After 4 hrs I have to reaply. Excelent price too. Definitly will keep buying It.

Yum. Dumb reach if you are going for sweet, youthful, bright, and cheerful persona. *This was gross when I first sprayed it, it needed a week to settle. You could easily layer this one. I am not usually a fruit fragrance lover, but this is so delicious!

It gives similar vibes to DBIR (not dupes!) but more juicy, tropical, and less woody. Absolutely love this! Kind of addicting to smell. But performance sucks, around 1-2 hrs on skin, 3-4 hrs on clothes. An easy daytime reach.

I bought it for my girlfriend today. In my opinion, it is a terrific sexy perfume and has a libido-enhancing effect. It may be a little sugary for very hot summer days, but it is very beautiful and ideal for young women.

In my skin it smells so fruity, and sweet. It’s just so yummy. I really like it, but it doesn’t last that long. It’s a good perfume for the price, and perfect for the spring and summer :)

an explosion of orange, tangerine, grapefruit (?) and tropical fruits, this is so good. summer scent, i think this is particularly good for summer nights. it is also very sweet to me.

A really nice girly mango scent, I find other Zara fragrances to smell pretty plastic, but this one smells super juicy and fruity, perfect for late spring/summer!

Delicious. I just got this but know I’m not going to wear it until summer. It’s mouthwatering fruity and slightly floral.

Great for layering, has amazing longevity (at least on my skin). It is perfect for summer, at a great price.

Sugary fruit juice deliciousness!! Yummmmmmmmmm. Too bad it doesn’t last for shit.

I think it is surprisingly good, usually I don't like fruity perfumes, much of all the ultra synthetic Zara ones...but this one I think it is well done, one of their best "cube"! The opening is sweet, delicious, juicy citrus, while the fruitiness of the middle is strong and tropical; you can defenetly distinguish between passionfruit and mango, it is not the usual fruits salad where there is a bit of everything and much of nothing. What I like most of all is that it's not sickly sweet or too much childish, it is just simply solar and the flowers in it are potent, not choked at all by the fruitiness. I don't know if there truly are hibiscus flowers...the name and description hints at those then in the notes they are not reported, but I surely smell peony and orchid. The peony is overly ripe and has some facet of berry fruitiness, like if mixed with cassis/raspberry/black berry, like in Zara Peony, and the orchid is much sweet and powdery. The flowers smell just like the color of the bottle...hot pink bording in to fuchsia and fading in to light vivid pink!!!! The rest smells like burnt orange and rusty tones in terms of colors! The vanilla is used gently and the amber is pretty much to my liking because, hear hear...it smells a bit like the amber in Paradoxe by Prada! The quality is not the same of course but it is similar in terms of olfactive presence. Dry down is also reminiscent of Zara Red Temptation Summer dry down but less potent. Besides the amber used in Hibiscus is a little incense-y, remainds me of some incense stick called Chandan (a mix of oriental & woody) but has nothing smoky about it. I have strong feelings attached to that smell because those are the incense sticks I use when I have to unfortunatelly bury some of the stray cats I take care of....streets are deadly. This strange mix makes me like this scent even more, but this is of course a personal matter and has no bearing in my other observations about the perfume, I should have probably not even wrote it here. It lasts well for being one of Zara's cube, on me for about 4 to 5 hours, and projects well too for the first two hours. I tend to overspray though. I bought on sale the big 180ml transperent bottle for about 7,00€ and I am pleasantly surprised; I had heard many good reviews but I always snobbed this fragrance, it was the sale that convinced me to try it. Hibiscus is incredibly delicious and tropical on its own, the vibes are of course summer holiday in a far away island and various summery coktail enjoyed in the most hot days. When layered with Zara Peony or with Zara Marshmellow Addiction it is even more beautiful, it becomes more complex since their sweet praline and strong vanilla bases enriches it qute well. I think another good pairing is with Zara Queen Plumrose since they are a bit similar...maybe that rose note could play well in here and make this much more "mature". I will have to try it layered with Zara Red Temptation Summer too, I want to see how the litchi reacts in this. I usually don't like fruity scents, they are not my style, but I could definitely wear it during a summer night now and then! It is not sticky at all as for instance Zara Wander Rose (another Zara fruity bomb, quite sweet), Hibiscus is less juvenile. I think it could rival well with some Escada, at least that is how I see it, since I smelled many Escada and never found them all so special in quality.

This is a sexy scent. Initially there is a blast of fruityness, you definitely get the mango and passion fruit and a tiny bit of the flowers listed but theres also a smokey element to it which I'm suprised no ones mentioned. Its not like cigarette smoke, its more like an incense. It smells like a fruity incense stick that hasnt been burned yet so i guess not fully smoke yet HA thats the best i can describe it. And because of this, i wouldnt classify this as fresh but its also not overwhelming strong or amber heavy (i hate too much amber). Definitely a summer scent but because of that little incense hint, I can't see this being worn in the day. This is more like a summer night scent for a club or party etc. I dont get vanilla at all not even on the dry down. On my skin at least, its stays pretty much the same as the initial spray very fruity incense lol i started layering it D&Gs L'imperatrice and it smells sooooooo GOOD. They compliment each other well! Makes l'imperatrice last longer too because it fades so quickly on its own.

So. I didn't expect to like this as much as I do. Looking at the other reviews it seems to agree with some body chemistries but not others. Luckily for me, it works insanely well. I would suggest sampling this first on your skin to make sure what notes you bring out. This scent takes me back to drinking a passionfruit mango iced tea at a bar in Bali, all the way to passing by the tropical flowers blooming on either side of the path there. I'm not usually a fan of florals because I tend to feel sick or headachey very easily but it's beautifully blended and fresh in this scent to lighten the fruitiness. Interestingly I barely noticed the orange notes, maybe because I usually expect the scent to be zesty like its skin. However, now I can feel the sweetness from pure pulp that adds complexity to the mango note. It's youthful but not childish, perfect for spring and summer.

I like it. I blind bought it last year for the first time and I did expected something really different so I liked it but ya know it was okay. I still used up the whole 90ml bottle last summer. 4 days ago I was in the Zara app and found a LE of this fragrance in another bottle with 180ml for 7,99€ and I have to say, I forgot how it smelled like. So I just ordered it and yesterday when it came in the mail and I sprayed it on and was SCHOCKEDDD I Love it!! It just brought up really really beautiful memories from last summer for what I’m really thankful. About the scent - it’s tropical but more in a passion fruity, orangey kind of vibe ya know. It’s really nice fresh and sweet with a little sourness. For summer- PERFECT. Just a grab and go kind of perfume. Recommend for summer

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed at first spray. I am on a quest for the perfect hibiscus perfume (one that's NOT hibiscus mahajad because, while absolutely divine, it is eye wateringly expensive for me), and I was hoping my quest would end here. Not so much. Well, oh well, once I got over that, I became a bit more open to what this scent was offering me. It is sweet with an eye to sophistication, and I can attest to the fact that it layers AMAZINGLY with white musk (I'm using one from an etsy seller but I imagine that the Body Shop would do as nicely). Also, at £12 a bottle there is absolutely no space for regret. Seems to last a decent amount of time too

I like it. Once again I don't understand how they name these scents... there is no hibiscus in here. But this is exactly what I expected - a juicy, fruity summer scent. Very refreshing in the hot weather. Reminds me of the Ralph Lauren perfumes from the early 2000s. It's very much a fruity shampoo vibe, like you're straight out of the shower. It's definitely not groundbreaking and I've smelled this type of scent many times before, but I think this is a good scent to have in your collection for when you just want to smell clean and fresh on a very hot day. Super pleasant and crowdpleasing.

the opening is a burst of bright juicy citrus with tart passionfruit and mango. I would say its both sweet and a bit sour. I do find a lot of fruity fragrances too sweet, but this one is more juicy. the opening fades pretty quickly and softens into an inoffensive skin scent. I wasnt sure at first sniff, but i'm enjoying it and it fills the fruity floral hole in my collection of mostly ambers and gourmands. Conclusion, I like it and am glad I have a bottle. Will i repurchase? probably not but I will use this bottle and enjoy it.

This perfume and Kate Spade's New York smell 90% similar I prefer the latter on me, lasts longer but I'm not particularly found of extremely fruity scents although I appreciate them a lot. Both to my nose have the same silage, I cannot wear them on their own. I need something else to balance the sweetness - Princess de Galles from Maïssa, which is too grassy for my liking was missing some fruitiness so I combined the 2(3) and they work perfectly - If you enjoy fruity, sweet, freshish type of scents you will love either

The initial fruity blast that definitely screams summer lasts only a short while. I like passionfruit-based fragrances, but they can pull cat urine-y if you're sensitive to it. The dry down is really pretty, warm, and clean, but not quite as summery. The dry down gives me the vibes that I imagine Reb'l Fleur's little sister or cousin would have. This fragrance lasts surprisingly long. I applied at 9pm and could still smell it at 7:30am on my skin and clothes. Overall, it's a nice choice for summer days.

First impressions (full bottle): This is a cheap perfume, but it smells so EXPENSIVE. Kind of reminds me of something else, and I’m not sure what. The perfume section of “reminds me of” is not matching what it reminds me of. But this is nice! Edit: Actually, you know what this reminds me of Carolina Herrera good girl. Like huh? Maybe my bottle was warm from the sun so maybe the dna has changed, but that is what it kind of reminds me of. I used to have the roller ball of good girl.

It smells exactly like a Taiwanese fruit tea! IYKYK!🍹 This is a sweet tropical fruit forward fragrance, but the florals add a jasmine tea-like note that cuts down the sugariness. The passion fruit mango in this is very realistic! I can see this as a fun scent for relaxing by the pool, sipping on fresh coconut water in the summer. Just be sure not to overspray or else it can be a bit cloying. I wish there was a little more freshness/ green to cut down the sugar a bit more.

This reminds me of Cacharel “Yes I Am Pink First” (and slightly of Byredo Tulip), but with tart mango 🥭 and leafy hibiscus 🌺. I wish there were more mango and more long lasting definition between the notes, before the mass-appealing fruity vibe to take over. All fruity Zara fragrances target young audience, but I wish they dial down the tartness and leave it be more creamy instead. It’s interesting. For the price, I am happy.

If you're a fan of those old-school tropical fruit-heavy Escada summer frags you will like this too. It's a tropical fruit punch heavy on ripe sweet juicy mango albeit obviously a little synthetic. The dry-down is gentle and fluffy. Mango smoothie with a dollop of cream. Both sillage and longevity are pretty average on me. Don't expect high perfumery, but at the given price it's a fun everyday summer fragrance. Solid like.

One of the better current female Zara releases. The name is a little misleading, far more fruity than floral but perhaps "Hibiscus" does well to give the impression of somewhere tropical - a scent which this definitely is. A sweet citrusy vaguely opening followed by mango, passionfruit & a little bit of pineapple before drying down into a slightly generic but very pleasant smelling warm amber-brown sugar-vanilla.

Tropical, juicy scent with a perfumey essence to it. Distinguishable from my fruity body mists; the amber gives it a sophistication that can take you from a casual day to a date night effortlessly. It's not the strongest or most long lasting, but it is affordable and you should be overspraying your fragrances anyway. Follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Lemon8 @scentmemos for my fragrance content.

To me the orange and tangerine are very prominent, borderline kitchen cleaning product level citrusy. However it’s balanced with enough sweetness that it makes up for it, similar to a fruity body wash. Good for the price, performance is alright, and it’s fresh and nice in the heat. Not my favorite from Zara but a good safe blind buy if you like fruity orange scents.

I hated this perfume at first. All i could smell was heavy peony and I couldn’t stand it. I gave it another chance and I am glad i did. This is the perfect summer perfume. The dry down is bitter and beautiful, the mango and citrusy notes harmonizing with a faint floral finish. It’s beautiful. But longevity sucks. You get 1-3 hours before you have to re-spray.

I don't know if anyone has called it already, but to me this smells like a lighter version of The Only One 2 by Dolce & Gabanna. EDIT: After wearing it more, this is definitely more mango-forward and doesn't remind me of The Only One 2 anymore. Longevity is INSANE - both on hair, clothes and skin - it lasts for 2 days! It turns quite powdery in the drydown.

This fragrance is an exact clone/dupe for Dolce Garden. Delightful for summer! I get lots of pineapple and passion fruit and coconut. It’s sweet and fun and not a scent to be taken seriously. Along the line of all the Escada summer editions. A cheap and fun ride for the hot weather. Expect compliments. Sillage and longevity good for the price.

This perfume smells nice at first its very shower-gelly but then i get passion fruit and a citrusy vibe which is sooo juicy. But then after a while it i smell the peony. It kinda just smells like a floral perfume with hints of fruits, so just enjoy how fruity it is before it becomes overwhelmingly floral💔

This is an amazing Zara version of Yves Rocher flowerparty fragrance which is now discontinued.Smells like a fruit punch with all types of exotic fruits and especially mango in it.Smells lovely good for spring/summer days.After 4-5 hours it's getting closer to skinscent but i like it.Sillage is moderate.

Youthful but not “childish”.... Uplifting and tropical citrus. No Hibiscus flowers in it... Zara’s names are confusing sometimes. The name and the juice don’t match, but it’s really nice! If you like citrus/ mango scents that aren’t “fruit salad” photorealistic, you’ll like this one.

Not childish, candy-like or typical tropical scent. Authentic oranges mixed with leather in the first spray. On drydown, beautiful citrus and orchid with warm amber like high-end fragrances. Performance even below the standard of zara lol. Price is good

Got this for a friend on her birthday. Scent was off-putting at first when i tried it but then it settles down into a fresh but deep tropical scent and then i liked it. Lasts really long on my skin compared to the rose gourmand I got for myself.

very pretty summer scent, doesn't smell cheap at all, actually it's a really refined, elegant, natural tart fruit scent. refreshing, invigorating, beautiful bottle too. sillage and longevity are on the weak side.

I really like this fragrance! It reminds me somehow a soft combination of Voce Viva by Valentino and Golden Decade by Zara. I think is pretty wearable for everyday. Fruity but musky, lovely ♡

Very bright, watery, fruity notes. I wouldn't wear this alone bc the longevity and sillage are not good at all but I love this as a topper for my clean & fresh fragrances like Bal d'Afrique.
