Heavenly.
Hanuman is a popular and revered Hindi deity in India, a loyal companion of Rama, an avatar of Vishnu and an incarnation of Shiva in the form of a human-sized monkey. As such a sacred being, Hanuman embodies loyalty, optimism, courage and strength, combined with a good dose of playfulness. So much for the story behind the perfume.
As a fragrance, Hanuman does indeed seem to have heavenly traits.
However, on my skin I can only recognize a minimal similarity to Bal d'Afrique, which many describe here. Although the Targetes also comes through here, it tends to stay in the background. I miss the buchu characteristic of Bal d'Afrique here completely. Although Buchu smells a little like currant, which is also present in Hanuman, Buchu is much more minty and spicy.
on my skin, Hanuman smells strongly of neroli, violet, vetiver and cedarwood, a beautiful shaving foam version, much more tart and above all more masculine than Bal d'Afrique. Sweetness is completely absent on my skin.
In view of this, Hanuman is less wearable for me as a woman, but on a guy it's melt-in-your-mouth.
