Bath & Body Works Hibiscus Paradise Eau de Parfum Review

Bath & Body Works Hibiscus Paradise Eau de Parfum Review: Hey guys, coming back to my obsession with scents, today we will talk about this gorgeous perfume spray from Bath and Body Works. You see, I take my perfumes very seriously so whenever available, I try on the smaller size of any perfume before indulging in the bigger size bottle.

Luckily for me, BBW always has a smaller travel size perfume spray available for almost all their scents. Hibiscus Paradise from Bath & Body works was launched in 2021, and I got it in December last year. After wearing it for a lot more times than I can count, today I am going to share my experience with it.

In Detail Bath & Body Works Hibiscus Paradise Eau de Parfum Review and My Experience

The BBW Hibiscus Paradise in its original size comes in a standard transparent cube like glass bottle with a spherical golden colour cap. The perfume liquid inside has a lovely very slightly peachy pink hue. It looks absolutely lovely. The spray quality is decent, although I would have preferred if it spread a little more (I like the misty-sprays). Label print has a white hibiscus printed giving it the Hawaiian vibe.

Bath & Body Works describes the scent as “an exotic, carefree, warm getaway to paradise” with the scent description being “pink hibiscus, juicy guava and sun-kissed coconut“. Now when I first spray it on, it smells of sharp tropical flowers combined with lots of creaminess from coconuts. As it settles down, the coconuts start to come forward and the florals take a backstage, all still very noticeable though.

Now I do get some fruitiness, but I wonder if I can relate it to guavas. I mean, if I hadn’t read the description, I would definitely say that the fruitiness was from guavas. After like 10 minutes, the smell is of coconuts combined with some colourful florals. Very, very tropical.

The scent if lovely if you’re into tropical scents. But if you’re not, you might find this not really above average. I mean, this just does not really feel unique specially from Bath & Body Works. Its great, but I was just hoping for something extra, something that just makes me go wow!

The lasting power of a perfume spray is supposedly super duper long. However, this lasts just enough. 3 hours tops. After that, you can only smell it if you bring your wrists close to your nose, and that too only for the next one or one half hours max.

Overall I think this is a decent perfume. Its not too out of the box or very extraordinary, but its nice. I mean if you are someone who enjoys tropical scents with florals, definitely try this out. I wish it was more long lasting though. And like I said in the first paragraph of this post, I am glad I got it in the smaller size. So you could do the same specially when are purchasing scents online.

MBF Advises

1. I don’t want to sound like I am saying the same thing a lot of times, but with perfumes and fragrances, definitely try the smaller sizes specially if you’re making an online purchase.
2. Try coupling the scent with the same variant of body lotion to make the scent slightly more long lasting.
3. Always look for deals when it comes to bath and body works. They have some incredible deals during holiday season.
