Hibiscus Palm Aerin 2018

I've had the fragrance for a while, but I've never really been able to categorize it, which is why I've found it difficult to rate it so far.

I bought it blind (yes, I was heavily influenced by YouTube) and found it too much, too sticky, too sweet most of the time in summer. It gave me vibes of Terracotta Le Parfum , which I also find too sweet for summer. In contrast to Guerlain, however, Hibiscus Palm is a little (not much) fresher and clearer. It is very classy and is more suitable for a summer evening in a classy cocktail bar than for a 30 degree summer day in the park or on the beach.

I've often had it on my "to-go" list and even almost sold it once, but in the end I couldn't bring myself to wear it, even though I may have worn it twice in the summer.

BUT: This morning, at -8 degrees, it got to me and I dug it out of the farthest corner of the summer fragrances and sprayed it on - MEGA!!!! I know it doesn't fit thematically, but in cold temperatures it develops much more elegantly and less sticky on my skin. When the sun is shining and maybe even the first sunny days of spring are coming, I can now imagine it very well and am glad that I kept it.

Longevity is great and even longer in winter than in summer. Sillage too, I only spray twice and I can already smell it well :-)
