Hibiscus MahaJád Maison Crivelli 2021
1
One of the best and most unique perfumes.
Hibiscus Mahajad is a lot better than Maracuja, I promise you
It's just underrated bc the opening is both harsh and boring
Do more than one full day of wearing it before you judge
OR ELSE
The opening/paper smell is pretty mid
It's boring, one dimensional and smells like a pretty generic teenage girl's pink perfume
Afterward the bitter green notes are what put me off at first - they are HARSH
From the 3rd wear I could appreciate them as a secondary note that adds depth
But once you get used to the dry down maaaan this stuff is delicious
The Hibiscus and rose are perfectly balanced by leather, creamy vanilla, bitter green notes and the spices
It's so buttery smooth, creamy and sexy while still being very easy to wear as a male
MEGA 12+ hour performance as always from Crivelli
With massive sillage. 2 sprays max
$315 for 50ml is a bit gross
But honestly this stuff is so unique and STRONG that it's not terrible value, considering how slowly you'll run out of it
Crivelli perfumes have a very steep learning curve to the uninitiated
I want to clobber people who rate perfumes after wearing it for 30 seconds
You're ruining the essencevitae score of Mahajad and Amouage Interlude >:( grrr
9.25/10
