Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajád
Red tea, rose and soft leather

How it unfolds
-
Cassis and rose, tart and dark
Rose Damascena absolute is the floral centre, and cassis sits beside it with a tart, dark-red fruitiness that stops the rose from turning too soft or too sweet. Together they suggest a strong, slightly sour red drink more than a bouquet.
-
Cinnamon against spearmint
Cinnamon essential oil adds a dry, glowing warmth, spearmint essential oil a cool, green lift. The two pull in opposite directions, and between them the rose and cassis gain some movement, so the perfume avoids the heavy sweetness a rose and fruit pairing can carry.
-
Vanilla and leather underneath
Vanilla absolute and leather soften the edges, with ambrette seeds absolute adding a quiet, skin-like warmth. The brand's list of key raw materials does not name hibiscus itself: the flower lives in the name and the story, and the seven listed materials carry the scent.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Putting it on
Two sprays on the chest or the inside of the wrists are a good start. At 32% this extrait is dense and sits close to the skin, so it works in small amounts, and cooler air gives the vanilla and leather more room to show. Let it settle for a few minutes before judging it.
Who will enjoy it
Anyone who likes floral perfumes with a tart, fruity edge and a warm, soft base, and who finds a classic rose too sweet on its own. It suits an evening with friends or a dinner, and autumn or winter days when something with a little spice feels right.
Why choose Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajád
The brand starts every perfume from a real experience, and here that experience is a cup of tea in a market full of stones. The result is an extrait with a clear idea: red fruit, rose and spice held together by leather and vanilla, not a pile of pleasant notes.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is hibiscus one of the notes?
The brand names hibiscus in its story and in the perfume's name, but its list of key raw materials has seven entries and hibiscus is not among them. Those seven are the notes shown on this page.
What concentration is it?
At 32% it is classed as an Extrait de Parfum. Expect richness and body rather than airiness, and use a light hand with the sprayer.
Is it sweet?
There is sweetness from the vanilla absolute, but cassis, spearmint and cinnamon keep it tart and spiced rather than sugary. The brand calls it floral-fruity.
Does it work as a gift?
It suits someone who enjoys floral-fruity perfumes with some depth. As a 100 ml Extrait de Parfum it is a considered choice, so it helps to know whether the person likes rose and warm spice.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
