[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Red Hibiscus Cologne Intense was first introduced in 2021 as part of the Blossoms limited edition collection. Yellow Hibiscus, the fresher and sharper counterpart, was also launched at the same time. Initially designed as a summer fragrance, it has recently been reintroduced with an exotic solar twist that feels just right for colder weather.
The fragrance is delightful, incorporating elements we yearn for in winter – sunshine, warmth, and vitality with a hint of holiday spirit. It combines hibiscus, mandarin, and ylang-ylang to create a juicy and delicious burst of hyper-floral notes that are consistently alluring. The dry down is simpler, with vanilla and jasmine taking the lead and creating a comforting aura of smooth sensuality.
I wouldn’t exactly call it an intense fragrance, but it is undeniably deep. I appreciate the way it settles and seamlessly blends with the wearer’s skin scent. It’s a heady mix that has been given a sophisticated treatment, so it doesn’t overpower but rather coexists harmoniously with the wearer, offering a gentle reminder of the warmth to come.
Great news for fragrance enthusiasts – Jo Malone London has introduced 9ml bottles (not vials) for many of their fragrances, allowing customers to sample before committing to a larger size. This is especially beneficial considering the challenge of purchasing fragrances without experiencing their scent beforehand. The 9ml Red Hibiscus Cologne Intense is available for £22 here, and other favorites such as Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Pomegranate Noir, and Peony & Suede Blush are also available for £18. Be sure to browse through the options.
