HI’IAKA - mai'a, hibiscus, white ginger, akala, na'u, Hawaiian moon flower, yellow ilima, pink lokelani, jewel orchid, and fringed orchid.
IN THE VIAL: Fresh, creamy, joyful tropical florals. A bit spicier here than on skin, probably due to more hibiscus.
ON SKIN: A white-golden scent, full and sweet, but not heady. Another floral most of whose components I don’t know, although my roommate says she can smell the hibiscus, and I can ID the clean white ginger. The whole effect rather reminds me of plumeria, though there isn’t any in here. Warm, sweet, softly lush, young.
LATER: Low morphing overall, with no surprises. Good throw, but alas, short wearlength. Still keeping it for sure.
