Hibiscus Palm Aerin Lauder for women

I ordered Hibiscus Palm along with Vanilla Vibes by Juliette has a gun. Those together were quite gross, I couldn't get it off fast enough. Hibiscus Palm has to go back. I guess I'm just not a fan of floral fragrances.

Oh no, I hate it :(

I've been looking forward to this for so long and finally got a sample of it. Ylang ylang really just does not smell good on me, and that's all I can smell on this perfume. It smells dry and sour, like something that's been sitting underground in a musty tomb for years. I wish I could smell the rest of the notes here, but that's all my skin holds onto. So disappointed, I've been hyped for this one for a while.

i tried this on skin and it was surprisingly very long lasting! i can still smell it on myself even after 8 hours. i get a jasmine note with a green nuance along with plumeria. the sweetness from coconut and vanilla comes forward the more it dries down, adding depth to the florals without overpowering them. even though i like terracotta too it's pretty different than this since it is much sweeter with a sharp ylang ylang note and doesn't really last on skin. hibiscus palm has just the right amount of sweetness and longevity for summertime, complimenting the skin beautifully. pretty balanced summer fragrance.

This is gorgeous! I don't agree with many commenters that is is too mature i think it is sweet but still elegant. The vanilla and coconut is very prominent to me and the right bit of musk. I also somehow smell a bit of oud.

omggg the ingredients list is chefs kiss.. what a beautiful blend of notes

Hibiscus Palm is very gingery to start. It surprises me that this is compared to many of the other tropical florals listed above (the many that I have sampled, I haven't tried them all) because the ginger and what I am assuming is the palm leaf in the opening give this a different smell than those other more basic coconut tropical florals. The ginger adds a subtle warmth that reminds me of the feeling of the warmth of the sun on your body on the beach. The greenness of the palm leaf has a green banana like smell that goes very nicely with the yellow ripe banana smell of the ylang. As this fragrance goes along it becomes more floral. I get the fruity and fun frangipani, the creamy powdery white florals that smell basically like jasmine to my nose. The coconut is a good coconut and smells fresh off the shell, this perfume isn't a cheap sunscreen smell like some of the above fragrances. It becomes a nice musky warm spicy tropical floral with coconut. Hibiscus Palm reminds me a bit of Armani Code for women which I already own. They are different but like distant cousins that share some of the same DNA. It is the ginger and the white florals that make them similar, but Hibiscus Palms added coconut, ylang, frangipani and palm leaf make it much more tropical. I can see why Hibiscus Palm is so popular in the Aerin Line. This is one of the best tropical florals I have smelled, and I am super picky about coconut. It also reminds me a bit of Prada Heat Wave but w/ added ginger. If you like tropical, coconut florals this one is well worth the extra cash. It smells a lot better than the Tom Fords above I have smelled and even though it is pricy it is less $$$ than those are.

Light coconut to start; it's warm and creamy. I usually don't care for coconut but this isn't sunscreeny-- this is lactonic and lovely. Underneath it is light warm floral. After a few minutes it cools down to white florals standing on their own-- maybe just a touch of coconut still under it, but mostly white florals. Elegant businesswoman in a white linen suit at an expensive resort. But it's getting back to the soft coconut out of the white floral phase. Final phase: sweet Yellow floral and coconut, back to chill and informal. Business woman took off her white linen suit and threw on a sarong and some slides.

I'm already planning my perfumes for my summer vacation. Who wouldn't when its minus 20 °C degrees here in Norway. This was my first secure purchase. I'm going on a 10 day tropical vacay with my own private pool and 20 meters to a private beach. It's so cold here now, and my senses are leaning gourmand, but my dreams are taking me to an escape. To a tropical paradise with palm trees.
Now, let me tell you about how Hibiscus Palm fulfilled my imagination.

She opens up willingly with frangipani as her weapon of choice.
Blooming with her opulence of white florals she takes on a wet character and tells us a story about what happend here under the frangipani-tree a few years ago. Her story is juicy!
Leaves us light-hearted with smirkes and smiles. The wedded couple with hibiscus flowers in their hair and a coconut drink. The good conversations with honest people as the sun goes down and someone still has their suntan lotion on. We fall asleep in white linen hammocks under the palm trees.
The party is over, and what's left is a prominent green note that provides a sober realistic sense of calm after the colourful festivities.

This is a well composed tropical fragrance. And I especially enjoy the unusual green palm tree-accord that lasts until the morning.

My favorite summer fragrance.
Its a really expensive and elegante summer perfume, similar vives to Tom Ford soleil but with more personality. You can detect the monoi and coconut. Projection is really good, its long lasting and you get a lot of compliments from.it.

This is more a white floral than an hibiscus scent, but hey, I am not complaining. It’s really pretty. The vanilla with the coconut gives it a sweet and tropical vibe, but nothing sickening or cheap. It’s creamy, relaxing and soft. I can smell the hibiscus too and it gives some freshness to the fragrance. The yellow florals make it sunny. Overall, it’s a lovely scent and I am glad the white flowers are strong here.

I bought this without testing it as it was super hyped by youtuber JusdeRose and it seemed like I would love it. At first I was dissapointed as I found it too boring and not bright or fresh enough to shine in the summer. After a few months I think it has gotten better. I have gotten compliments from random people, but especially on first application as it honestly stops projecting after an hour or two.
Still, it makes me feel fancy and sophisticated. Layered with a good moisturizer or sunscreen it lasts better and just smells to me like a rich woman on vacation who has her s.it together. I've used this quite a lot and it's become my summer signature. There are probably better options out there, but at least compared to Soleil Blanc, this one lasts longer and is a bit cheaper.

I will bring my travel-size Hibiscus Palm for my trip to Costa Rica. While I won't wear any perfume while hiking in the rainforest, a spritz of this tropical scent will be perfect for dinners at the hotel. Part of my time will be spent in Guanacaste, and I will use it there. It will amplify my indulgence in the beach lifestyle. Although strong initially, this perfume becomes sweet, light, and smooth. In the dry down, there is a hint of coconut without the chemical sunscreen I find in other beach scents. If you like coconut, this scent gets it right.

Extremely buttery and tropical. Florals are very thick. It's overpowering, not sure that it is good in the tropical heat and humidity.

Smells exactly like Estée Lauder Beyond Paradise to me.

How can a perfume be childish and elderly at the same time? I'm attributing the coconut and frangipani to the childishness and ylang-ylang and white flowers to the elderly quality. My guess would be there is lily or jasmine among those undefined "white flowers" as I get that lily mustiness or waxiness from this scent as it dries down a bit.

I don't completely hate this though. It's a summer scent for when you want something very feminine and strong and exotic - as in not aquatic, not citrusy, not herbal fresh - in the summer heat. I only bought a 7ml travel spray of this and that is enough for me, I usually like a bit more edgy scents and find this too floral and beachy to be worn very often. But there is a time and place for it!

Coconut caramel candy. Almost saccharine, great sillage and rather long lasting. I love this scent, it is delicious and happy and I like getting whiffs from my hair. But gotta be in the right frame of mind for this or else it could be cloying and overwhelming.

It was a love from a first sniff. The most loved perfume in my collection. It generally is a summer in a bottle that makes me happy every time a spray it all over myself. Now as summer is over, I cannot give up wearing it, so I layer it with Montblanc Signature - it gives the fragrance more cozy and less tropical vibe.

It’s nice, but could be a generic coconut perfume. Not unique enough, but pleasant. Summer scent!

Sophistication in a bottle!

I'm not fan of yellow flowers especially not Ylang Ylang, however Hibiscus Palm got my heart because yellow flowers are not overpowering and pungent as it might be the case. It's well blended with the rest.

I got it last summer and didn't use it even once because I was afraid of Ylang Ylang. But this summer it was my signature scent.

It smells luxurious, fresh, sophisticated, summery and it's very good mood booster.

Projection is not the best but on clothes and in hair it lasts till you wash it.

Sophisticated white florals tropical mix. Reminds me a bit of a good cocktail (minus the alcohol) with the hibiscus and ginger. You'll smell like someone out of a spa at a luxury resort in the middle of the Caribbeans. The addition of ginger and palm note makes it different than the typical "coconut frangipani" scent out there. It's more airy and fresh. Longevity is great. Does not smell synthetic. I would buy a bottle of that one. It's well made and worth the price in my opinion.

7/10. I'm rarely in the mood for a yellow flower perfume, but since I blind bought a travel spray I wear this about twice a year. It's high quality and nice, but maybe a little too glamorous. I feel like I need to dress up for it. Perfect for a bright colored sun dress and some make up.

Scent: 8/10
Wearable: 1/10

I love the ylang ylang in this….such a good summer fragrance…my go to! Don’t confuse tropical with fruity…this is very much a big dose of tropical flowers like ylang ylang and frangipani. A very pretty soft delicate exotic floral. Honestly that’s what I love about perfumes that are more dominant in tropical florals like ylang ylang, frangipani, tiare etc. they give perfumes such an exotic complexity.

Owned, and sold, Guerlain’s Terracotta EDP and Lys Soleia, and TF Soleil Blanc EDP. My favorite scent of the three is TF, without question, but it fades to a skin scent in a snap (all three do). I have also sampled MM Beachwalk and found it cheap-smelling.
Hibiscus Palm is a lovely, summery scent. I agree that’s it’s not heavy on coconut, so layering with coconut body cream is a great way to smell more tropical. I reach for this all summer and would repurchase in a heartbeat.

Initial spray reminded me of TF Soleil Blanc but as the scent dried down it quickly faded to a skin scent. I get no coconut note at all. I spritz Soleil Blanc on another arm to compare. Soleil Blanc initially has a more fragrant scent but they both eventually dry down to skin scents. Neither is worth the price.

Anyone who has been fortunate enough to travel to the tropics when summer flowers are in full bloom can easily imagine what Aerin Hibiscus Palm smells like. I have tried every tropical floral without success until I stumbled on a bottle of this for a steal of a deal. The moment I sprayed this on my skin I was transported to Bali circa 2010. I actually wore Estee Lauder Brasil Dream on that trip, but HP is so much better and puts TF Orchid Soleil, Guerlain Terracotta, Narciso Ambree, and the rest of the list to shame. It's just so well-blended and balanced. The florals start out smelling juicy and then get progressively creamier without ever feeling cloying sweet or suffocatingly floral, and this is coming from someone who doesn't really care for ylang-ylang. AHP is a scent soulmate that I will cherish and I'm so happy to have her in my collection.

A true summer love! Smells like the tropics with the palm trees and hibiscus - imagine that. It's quality, not beachy but after-the-beach, in the resort for a lovely dinner or walking the stores and boardwalk. Definitely good for hot weather. The bottle is elegant and I feel good putting it on and it's pretty sitting out with my other perfumes. One of my favorite summer scents. Lasts 5-6 hours on me.

Ultimate tropical summer vacation scent! Similar to so many others summery fragrances, some listed in the Reminds me of section, but there’s that special something that makes me feel good every time I am wearing it. Still the best of all! And with so many similar designer and niche releases that says something!
It’s probably the combination of hibiscus flowers, lotus, palm leaves and ginger that makes Hibiscus Palm stand out from the rest of this genre. It gives HP a touch of freshness and an aquatic feel.
Ylang-ylang, frangipani, coconut and white flowers on a sweet vanilla base are usually found in most tropical scents.
This is so much more and so much better. The luxurious, elevated version of this whole genre! If only would last longer and project better!

To me this smells like the baby of “Alien goddess” by Mugler and “My way” by Armani. It’s a creamy coconut at heart, with fresh flowers and a little bit sweetness. Awesome for summer/ spring! However the frangipani ruins the scent for me, so I'm probably going to sell it...

I purchased the big bottle. Love it for day. Layer Aerin Cedar Violet over it for evening. The coconut dries down to the base note on my skin and the top notes are somewhat reminiscent of the 80's Giorgio Beverly Hills. Do not be dismayed by that statement! Lovely and Lively scent! It has more longevity on the skin than most of the Aerin fragrances. It's amazing that she's not absorbing her reviews about poor longevity on the skin of MOST of her line of fragrances and actively improving this problem!!!

Cold Coconut cream with fresh ginger on the hot stone porch in summer under a huge Plumeria tree in Key Largo with a salt air breeze. The beach is there, but it’s not wearing sunscreen lol
I’ve had beachwalk by MM for 2 years amd love it! But I always wished it had one of its notes that was more discernible from the others. I wanted to find the coconut more easily. Beachwalk is fabulous but for me it’s a bit too well mixed & balanced. I wanted that scent profile with a stand out note… and that’s where I found Hibiscus palm. I blind bought after reading soooo many reviews and comparisons. It is what I was looking for in a white floral coconut beach scent.
I was narrowed down to this, Terracotta, and bronze goddess (i want a sample of Soleil Blanc, never buying FB there tho) .
I went with Hibiscus Palm when I decided to buy a FB of Lilac Path from EL website during current Mother’s Day site wide sale. And let me tell you it’s a winner for this scent profile guys!
I still want Terracotta 🤷♀️🤫 but it’s a slightly more sophisticated amd slightly more heavy on the floral not so much on the coconut. Bronze goddess is still on my list but not high because not enough floral for me in it .
I also have Virgin Island Water which is in my top 3 perfumes of all time, but it is STRAIGHT lime & coconut on ice. Not comparable really.
Note: after comparing all day wear side by side with Terracotta, this one, HP, has a fresh/green spicy that Terracotta doesn’t have. And When I snuff too much of Hibiscus Palm, it tickles my sinus and I don’t like that feeling. So I don’t lean in and inhale it like i would with most of my other perfumes, like Terracotta. I think it’s the ginger that does that to me. But that note is also what makes me love this perfume! It’s so lively and zingy and fresh, for a creamy floral beach scent.

Like @perfumeandprosecco said, this is an intense white-floral-outdoor-wedding scent. I was expecting to smell breezes through frangipani flowers and palm fronds with a whiff of coconut meat... instead I get green-green-green and lotus. I wish I got any coconut, vanilla, or frangipani. On me, this isn't sweet or cozy or beachy, but sadly screechy. I'm so bummed!

It smells very floral. Like a bouquet at a flower shop. When I first smelled it, the first thoughts I had were "grandma" and "wedding". It's pretty scent, but I wouldn't recommend for people who want to smell sexy. It's more of a white breezy dress scent. Def a wedding day scent for all you brides out there! :)
Because of its potency, Hibiscus palm needs a lot of room and wind to disperse itself. I personally prefer it as a room spray. It lasts longer on clothes (I could still smell from a cotton t-shirt in my laundry bin a day later). I would also recommend spraying it only once or walking through it because it's very potent (not good for sensitive noses). I would wear it to baby shower, wedding, walk on beach, etc. This is more of a special occasion scent than an everyday scent.
Also, buy a sample first, not bottle (my mistake but at least it was only a travel size). It smells very good when I stiffed it/was on a tester strip at the store. However, after I spray it on myself, all I think about is how to get it off. Like I said, it's very potent.
And don't trust that "but it'll smell good with vanilla vibes" advice! I tried to do that and you just smell sweeter. My nose was exploding lol.

TLDR: special occasion scent. Strong floral. May give off grandma vibes. Good for brides

Wanted to follow the hype and blind-bought this Aerin Hibiscus Palm perfume. I couldn’t stand it because to me it smelled like a grandma perfume. It’s no longer in my collection. I also dislike Guerlain Terracotta, it’s the same kind of vibe.

This is identical to Diptyque Do Son perfume but this one has better longevity than Do Son. Beautiful frangipani scent, very warm and tropical . This lasted 15 hours on my skin. I sprayed it at 4.30 pm and woke up the next day at 7.30 am and I could still smell it on my wrists and clothes. It’s a beast mode fragrance.

Used to love this. Lately, though, I don't find myself reaching for it. Initially I was enchanted by the spot-on rendering of the scent of island air, but I'm realizing that I always end up gravitating toward fruity-florals in spring and summer, which this is not. This is a slightly indolic floral with a hint of dry coconut. While I do still like the scent, it's not really something I want to wear - I think I'd prefer it as a candle.

If you’re a big fan of white florals, you’ll like this fragrance. My nose cannot detect the tropical coconut notes since the florals overpower it, but it’s still a good scent for warm weather. Pro tip: This smells amazing when layered with Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes.

Creamy, sweet and so so lovely. It's an older, more mature sister of Maison Margiela "Beach Walk". While Beach Walk is a free spirited soul, this is more romantic and more complex.

This is a hard pass for me. There’s a note that just repels me. It may be a combination of coconut and something that just does not work for me. I think I need to be careful with coconuts in general. That said, I like most Aerin perfumes though. Just a few that do not work for me.

In the beginning, the ylang and ginger combo is so stunning. I think when the frangipani and coconut milk show up about 30 minutes after spraying .. it almost ... make this scent smell cheaper.
Loved the beginning, but the dry down not so much unfortunately. Test on skin and see if you like that sillage or if its headache inducing because it borderline getting there.

It smells like every other designer. Not enough for the price

This is a very luxurious smelling scent. It makes me feel like I should be in Bora Bora or the Maldives and wearing this while sipping on cocktails and looking out over the water. It literally reminds me of being on a summer holiday in a beautiful resort. The scent actually smells very similar to Narciso Eau de Parfum Ambrée which I already own, so I won't be buying HP. Ambrée actually lasts longer on me, for at least 6 hours, while HP only lasted about 2 hours on my skin.
I've also just cross checked the notes in each scent, and sure enough each of them have the similar frangipani, ylang ylang and musk/vanilla notes. Both are very pretty, powdery and elegant tropical scents to wear on a hot day, but not to wear while actually being at the beach on the sand and in the ocean if that makes sense!

This is a hard one. On one hand I ADORE the scent, but on the other the performance and projection are abysmal. Big hit of white florals and greens at first that fills the room. Over time it mellows down into a creamy yet fresh coconut vanilla scent that smells a /bit/ like sunscreen. The smell over all is very sophisticated, feminine, and beachy in an expensive tropical resort kind of way. But after the strong florals fade away, it can only be detected by putting your nose right up against your wrist.

If this lasted longer it would be SUCH a lovely summer fragrance, but with such little lasting power its just not worth the price to me.

When this is sprayed I can't get enough! It's SO creamy and elegant. It projects like crazy and leaves the most beautiful scent trail. You only need 2-3 sprays of this and it lasts hours. It smells expensive and luxurious. A tropical island getaway on a private island. This is stunning. It reminds me of Narciso Rodriguez Ambrèe......but NR projects less and is more musky.

I should love this based on the notes, but unfortunately it’s a big no for me. I wish I smelled the coconut and palm, but I don’t even smell any hibiscus. I just get white florals and a little bit of frangipani and musk throughout the entire composition. When white florals are present in a perfume, sometimes they will dominate on my skin, but I wasn’t expecting them to dominate quite like this, especially with the notes listed. So if you have the same issue with white florals, I’d stay away from this if you’re looking for something more tropical or at least test it out.

Thankfully I only ordered the travel size version because I love the smell of coconut and palm together. Bath & Body Works has a seasonal scent called Honolulu Sun and someone told me that this smells similar, but it’s not even close. I was expecting this to at least have the green sweetness of Honolulu Sun, but it fell short for me. How is Bath & Body Works able to capture the palm note so well, yet Aerin completely failed? I’m lost. Basically I was looking for a classier and longer lasting version of that scent, but this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a good floral coconut scent for summer, go with Coconut Fizz from Guerlain. It’s missing that green palm note I’m seeking out, but it’s gorgeous and worth the money, whereas I don’t feel that this is.

LOVE at first sniff. I sampled this at the counter today and immediately added it to my shopping list.

Floral, green grass, and coconut. It smells like an expensive dinner date while on a tropical vacation.

Honestly, I don't get the hype of this at all. I was so excited to try it since everyone was praising it.. I was soo underwhelmed! This smells soo cheap, so generic, nothing special at all, even a bit sharp maybe. I couldn't really distinguish the notes, what I got was just BASIC. Everything except sophisticated or special.
Don't get me wrong, it's pleasant, but for the price point? Hell no ahah. Sooo many better options... And I'm a white floral/tropical scents lover, total waste of money in my humble opinion.

This fragrance represents luxury. It's green, floral, sweet and creamy. It's a good balance of everything. This frangance does not project but leaves a huge scent trail for the first 2 hrs, then comes closer to the skin like a bubble around you. For me, I can smell this all day. I do find that this frangance shines more in the heat. In winter, only the green notes come through which can feel cloying. Discovered it in 2019 and three bottles in, it still remains my number one summer scent. Number two is Atlante by Sarah Baker. :)

This isn't bad but not what I was expecting. It's a bright floral bomb, slightly creamy but mostly floral to the point that it can be cloying. I don't get as much coconut as I was hoping. One spray from the travel spray filled up the entire room so he careful about over spraying. I found carnal flower by Frederic Malle to be much more up my alley, much creamier and with some greenness to balance it out. Overall though, a nice fragrance. Highly recommend you test it out before buying.

I really enjoy this one. It has a beautiful, tropical, and creamy vibe that smells quintessentially beachy to me. It has moderate projection (which I prefer,) and it lasts about 6 hours on my skin, but all day and into the next on clothing. As others have noted, it can be a bit cloying in some situations. Mostly it's the florals that become a bit overwhelming, which I find to be a problem only when it's super hot outside, or when I really overspray. I wear this mostly in spring and summer, although it is good all year round. And my favorite way to wear it is layered with Aerin Amber Musk, which slightly softens and rounds it out for me. Although I enjoy both of these fragrances individually, together they hit just the right note IMO.

Beautiful creamy white floral for relaxing by the pool with a drink! Smells most strongly of frangipani and white florals with a coconut backdrop. Similar style to MM beach walk, but without the saltiness and more warmth. Be warned, this perfume is beast mode in regards to sillage. It’s giving me a slight headache after testing it at the shop and staying indoors. I think it would be best worn outdoors and sprayed very lightly. Travel size would be perfect for a summer holiday!

Update: my headache grew so I needed to scrub this one. Such a pity because it smelt beautiful. If you’re sensitive to strong fragrances don’t blind buy.

Coconut. Creamy. Lush. Not green/light. I wouldn’t buy this for myself as I’m not a big coconut fan, but if you are, I’d recommend this perfume! Great projection and performance too

It's my third time wearing this and it's just average for me. It smells like a body spray from Target (not knocking those but wouldn't expect that for this price). Although I have to say the white florals are coming through a bit more in the drydown and steering it more toward a like. I had to spray about 10 sprays to smell any kind of drydown because I either go anosmic or have perfume-eating skin.

To me, it's not sweet enough or balmy enough to feel tropical. It's mostly tangy and soapy, and just a little green. It's not bad but I will not be pursuing it further.

My favorite tangy and soapy scent is Jo Malone Basil & Neroli, which is just magically refreshing for me. That's the one I'll be going to when I need a refreshing summer frag.

My first scrubber! How exciting! I picked this up as a decant and from first spray I wanted this off my skin, out of my nose, out of my life. I cant pinpoint the note that gave me the ick, it was just an overwhelmingly artificial nauseatingly sweet mess. Like tropical ice cream left out for a few hours in the sun. Its a no from me, dawg.

If you imagine Tom Ford Soleil Blanc as a lady in a white silk dress, then this one is a girl in a white cotton dress or white top + denim shorts.

Hibiscus Palm is a luxurious tropical resort. You are in Fiji on your dream vacation when you wear this scent. It transports you there. This isn’t your average suntan lotion perfume. This is exquisite. My favorite summer time fragrance.

This is just gorgeous. Such a powerful creamy floral that is unique yet crowd pleasing. In my opinion if Beach Walk and Hibiscus Mahajad had a baby it would be this.

This is like the feeling of going on holidays with a simple spritz. Hibiscus Palm is a warm tropical creamy floral, very luxurious and has lots of body. I adore the elevation the ginger gives.
It’s light on the coconut which is perfect, leaving the creamy florals to take centre stage. Lasts more than 12 hours on my skin.

Very warm, creamy and tropical but I just can’t get into the ginger note.

Light summery floral. Layering with Vanilla Vibes. Easy grab and go scent too.

Ok so I agreed with likesleet below 👇
It actually kind of made me nauseous.
BUT this needs very little sprayed and a long time to settle. It has grown on me and the sick quality has lessened. I now notice the nicer nuances within this. I have also managed to find a less concentrated watery dupe that in the dry down smells a little like this (On a blotter 2 days later the same frangipani/ ylang ylang warmth or overly cloying sicky smell when first sprayed.. you decide) and is MUCH cheaper. I don’t think the quality is compromised either, 85% natural ingredients and vegan and it lasts like a mf. Longevity all day! Marks and Spencer’s: provenance- under the palm trees 🌴 if like me you do want coconut but undecided about Aerins version seriously you should try this. £7.50 for a handbag 30ml size and £15 for a 100ml. I normally go big but I wanted one for my bag and can go spray happy when I want a feel good uplifting moment. Their other provenance range perfumes are also good quality so go ahead check them out. For now I’ll be saving my money and not buying Aerin when there are such good dupes about and so many other perfumes I want! Looking at you carner ;)

so cloying. do not buy unless you want everyone to stay away from you.

it’s too strong and just sickening. really unpleasant.

This absolutely gives expensive beach resort vibes with a gorgeous sea side view, fluffy white clean towels and plush robes.

Initially, I was unsure of the opening and thought that I had made a mistake in purchasing this. I was searching for something tropical and beachy. I thought I would have went with something salty and more sweet coconutty but this is more green at the top - I definitely pick up the palm and it’s truly photorealistic. The ginger gives this the perfect amount of spice so that it isn’t overly sweet. I then get the tropical flowers and coconut milk, vanilla & musk. The coconut milk is just that, it’s not a sweet, cloying or candied smell but I do get some sweetness from the flowers. The vanilla and musk give it a comforting feel, like what I get when I’m on vacation. I’m wearing this again today and manifesting vacation vibes. I’m now glad that I purchased the large bottle.

Ooooo this is good. The first two times I wore it I was a bit unsure but first some reason it got so much better after that.
Sophisticated, expensive, delicious. It also lasts quite long on me.

I really wanted to like this fragrance as every You Tube fragrance influencer raves about it and I love coconut and tropical notes, but sadly, I prefer a more cooling incarnation. There is something solar that is the same as Tom Ford’s Soliel Blanc. I like them both in the bottle, but on me they are ruined. My body chemistry runs hot and it almost seems to cook this fragrance and ruin the freshness. Having said this, I’m not a fan of aquatics or citrus heavy fragrances. I’m a white flower girl all the way with maybe a dose of amber or spice. I’m reminded now, of another Aerin fragrance… Lilac something… initially, I liked it. But something about it gave me a headache. There’s a warm note in these fragrances that just clashes with my chemistry and makes me feel claustrophobic. Sad, because it’s a beautiful fragrance. But on me it smells like very expensive sunscreen. 2/10

I don’t know what all the hype is with this it smells cheap to me. Very underwhelmed

If you are looking for a high quality, summer, breezy coconut fragrance, this is it. If you, like me, are looking for frangipani, this is not it. Anyway so not what I was expecting but a lovely, easy, flowing, warm summers day, elegant sandals and a big hat and colourful beach wrap kind of a fragrance. 70-80% coconut with a noticeable palm leaf note with white flowers, mainly ylang ylang, in the periphery. I can see how someone would love this, for me this is occasional use only. Now, where can I find that elusive frangipani…

Firstly the bottle is stunning! Second I’m not sure I can even describe to you just how good this fragrance smells, but I’ll try. So I blind bought this after watching and reading so many reviews and I am so glad I did. For me this is a more complex and floral version of Soleil Blanc. It’s a really pretty scent that smells expensive, the tropical floral notes are just heaven and I can’t wait to wear this on vacation.

I’m a sucker for this kind of tropical beach smell: frangipani, coconut, white flowers, vanilla, ginger and Ylang, what’s not to love? And it’s mixed well, smells natural too.

Of the top 5 voted most similar, I currently own three and have sold one (Guerlain’s Terracotta smelled unnatural with my chemistry). So I have owned four of the five. For me, Aerin Lauder’s Hibiscus Palm would be redundant.

Of the Top 5 most similar, I find this most similar to the top two. Take 50% Orchid Soleil and 50% Soleil Blanc, give it a good stir, and you have Hibiscus Palm.

Likable, yes. Original, no. This is a shake your money maker for Aerin Lauder.

I blind bought this a few days ago because the notes seemed like I would love this for summer. It is indeed a lovely tropical fragrance, but unfortunately, it really doesn't work on me. I did a paper test and one spritz on my arm, but I don't get the lovely gardenia/frangipani or coconut that others get. It pulls very green and gingery on me.

Edit: I found a new home for this and hopefully she’s enjoying the creamy coconut that most people seem to get from this fragrance.

Let me preface by saying that I am not usually a fan of straight-up florals like this one….but this is magical. I've layered it with Mix:Bar Vanilla Bourbon and Alien Goddess...both complimented it so well. I wore it by itself today and I felt as if I was on vacation on a tropical island. I tend to overspray, but this one doesn't need that...2 sprays are perfect. Definitely a repurchase!

Frangipani! I am instantly in a resort in Thailand where they plant lots of Frangipani in the garden. My husband just had lunch with me at home and he said we are like in vacation in Thailand.

The ultimate tropical island holiday fragrance. Not too much coconut, or trying too hard to be a sun tan lotion, but delicious tropical florals floating on a greenish coconut base. Very long lasting and powerful, one spray is enough. I have the 7ml purse spray, which would be ample for the summer season in my case.

This genuinely smells like an island breeze! I don't usually gravitate towards straight up florals, but this is transportive in a way that's just captivating.

The coconut in this is detectible but not prominent; I certainly wouldn't call this is a fruity scent. The tropical florals are sweet enough on their own, though. This is a "vacation in a bottle" kinda perfume. Not in a tanning oil way, but in a stepping off the plane and getting that first hit of tropical air way. Will definitely be reaching for this all summer.

I have been testing this several times now to see if it can be my beach holiday fragrance. I have finally decided, no. On me, I am getting an 80's Giorgio beverly hills vibe.

Very Very beautiful fragrance

It's a nice scent, one of my favorite summer scents that I've found, however overall it is just OK. Most of the "summer scents" I've tried (and I've tried most of the popular ones at this point) have terrible performance, the absolute worst out of any perfumes I own, and are also the most expensive bottles in my collection... but whatever, I keep on searching. The performance of Hibiscus Palm is much weaker than I thought when I tested my mini dabber. On the dabber, I got 4+ hrs out of this. 3 in extreme sweaty heat. For my FB - I get mild projection for under 2 hours, a strong-ish dry down you can only smell within an inch or two of my skin for a couple more hrs max. I end up reapplying every 2-3 hrs when I wear this. It will last much longer on clothing, but the thing about summer scents - I tend not to be wearing a ton of heavy layers of clothing during the summer... This should work well on SKIN, and it doesn't. On skin, I get about 2 hrs when I heavily overspray. I also get no coconut at all. Mostly a palm that smells more like eucalyptus, with a touch of subtle florals. I also become anosmic to this scent very quickly. 15 minutes after applying I can't detect it and need to apply more. When I overspray and finally get a quarter ounce of this overpriced juice soaked into my skin and hair, I tend to just smell kind of like a very simple soapy clean sunscreen cologne, like something that would have been a shampoo or cheap body spray sent, a very common, simple and in the past, inexpensive. Nice, but hasn't gotten me a single compliment yet. I think overall I just smell like I showered and put on a bit of sunscreen when I wear this. Quite a bummer. I hoped this would be a cheaper filler for Carnal Flower, but my new bottle of Carnal Flower has been reformulated and now is even weaker than Hibiscus Palm. Hopefully one day I'll find my perfect summer scent that actually smells like coconut and flowers, lasts for more than 2 hours, and doesn't immediately vanish the second you step out into the sun... I guess the search continues.

I didn't expect this to be as a good as it is!! It's an elegantly sweet, yellow floral perfume perfect for summer. I don't usually like sweet scents and especially ones with too pronounced a coconut vibe, but this fragrance is in perfect balance. On my skin, it's like an olfactory pas de deux of floral and marine notes - actually, like a more subtle and honeyed version of Armani Privé's Bleu Turquoise!

This was a complete blind buy, and I'm so, so glad that I really like this scent!! Although it is nothing that I expected it to be: I thought this was going to be much more coconut-y, beachy and vanilla than it (on my skin) is. It's very fresh, green and unique to me, I don't think I've ever smelled a perfume exactly like this. It does not (thankfully!) give me a headache or bother my nose, which some vanilla and musk containing perfumes tend to do on me.

It's very much a faint beginning of the spring here where I live, so I'm thinking of not to over use this one much yet, I really want to use this as a beautiful, delicious summer scent. I actually think this would smell quite different in a hot weather than this gray, wet and cold season, so really looking forward the summertime!

I tried this yesterday and cannot stop thinking about it. It smells like a tropical, luxurious vacation to Fiiji or Mauritius. It's light and delicate yet distinct and luxurious.
I'm not a fan of creamy coconut scents - they just dont sit well on me and I end up smelling like a cheap cocktail, but this has, as someone else stated, more of a green, fresh coconut, like coconut water. I reeeally want this. And if I go on a lux holiday sometime in the future I'll definitely get it!!

Edit - I had to get it! This will be my "going-on-holiday-somewhere-warm-with-palmtrees" scent, and as I'm heading to Marrakech in a few weeks so I just had to have it!

Hibiscus Palm is an almost love for me. It opens very clean (the Aerin clean DNA) and exotic and smells almost golden. After 3-4 hours it dries down a pretty generic puffy white floral on me and I swear that after about 4-5 hours this has turned into Le Labos Lys 41 on my skin - which I unfortunately don't like. Might be the temperature though - I will try it again in the summer. Projection and longevity is good.

This scent is absolutely stunning. For me, it reads as an aquatic floral, but complex enough to make it "smell expensive." This is the beachiest perfume I've smelled that doesn't have super heavy coconut notes (at least on me), which makes it feel like a more unique summer scent. The green note of the palm is really lovely with all the florals and keeps it from being too springy or sweet. This just makes me think of going out to dinner while on vacation, wearing a classy but laid back dress and sandals, dining in an open air restaurant on a balmy evening at sunset. The performance is also incredible: I sprayed some on before bed and woke up and could still smell it. Also great layered with Clean Skin reserve blend.

One of my faaaaaavorite white floral summer fragrances! I am a sucker for frangipani, Ylang-Ylang, taire, & coconut.. Anything beachy or salty. Honeysuckle is not listed but I swear there's a teeny tiny bit of it in there! This is perfect for day or night in the spring! It is strong so a little goes a long way. This lasts all day on me! It's just so yummy. I picture a lush tropical bahamas resort, hibiscus flowers everywhere, you have a pina colada in your hand, and you're headed down to the white sandy beach. Or wear this lying out in the sun by the pool oasis at the 5 star palm tree covered resort. This is in my top 3 most loved perfumes. I will always wear this with my spring & summer sun dresses going out for the afternoon to get a cocktail! If you love white florals and coconut together, this one you will love. I really hope they never discontinue this one.

I see some people have voted it's similar to Geurlain's Terracotta. I do NOT agree. Terracotta is fraction of what Hibiscus Palm is. Terracotta was not a love AT ALL for me. I ordered it from Harrod's and turned around and sold it on Mercari.
I own TF Soleil Blanc (EDT?), and that more solar, creamy sunscreen like, and less white florals than Hibiscus Palm.

Hibiscus Palm is bright, white florals with a splash of coconut milk! Chef's kiss!

A pretty spring or summer stunner.
The frangipani is exotic, divine.
It's what I imagine a wealthy woman on a tropical holiday would wear.
It reminds me of Fidji perfume. An artist's interpretation of a summer holiday.

Beautiful and dazzling!
I got this perfume today, and I am happy about it even tho I still have some little remarks.
This opens very fresh and sweet, like if you are in the balcony of a beach house and you smell the palm trees, the fruits cut in half for the breakfast and the flowers from the tropical flora, very delicious and romantic. I have to agree that after seconds it gets a little too loud and the coconut note can become quite offensive, but u just got to be patient it would go down.

This fragrance does not dry fast, it actually takes some time to do it, but I personally like that because you can keep smelling note by note and how they all mix together while slowly drying up, is a very cool aspect in this one. Once this settle is more of a floral musky scent, very elegant, very bright, but here is when I have a little issue: This is very very similar to "Beach walk" by Maison Margiela after couple of hours, not exactly the same juice but same DNA, the difference I found is that Beach walk dries more musky and "Salty" and this one is more musky and white floral, other than that they are quite identical. I feel this is a good perfume to wear in a summer vacation, I would not say is super mature but I do not see a Young women wearing it, unless she is confident enough, then of course she can pull it off. Sillage and projection are remarkable, I do think this is a safe blind buy if you like scents with that floral/tanlotion/beachy vibe, for an idea try beach walk, if you like that one u definitely can get this one, if not then sample it first.

Oh no, I just received this today and it reminds me of another tropical scent I bb recently. L'Eau d'Issey Shade of Sunrise, that I left a review for the other day. This is clearly the winner as far as quality goes, though that beats the silage and longevity of this by a mile. Both have a buttery tiare, and coconut, but here it's not a creamy coconut but the green figgy type. There is also a faint spiciness here from the ginger and green notes from the palm leaf, where the other has a beachy, salty note. Both have an aquatic feel to me. Other than those minor differences, and of course the big difference in price, they really are so much alike that if you have one you could do without the other.
Wish I had known that before I wasted money. Fortunately, I only purchased the travel sprayer that I got at a good price, so it wasn't that bad. But honestly, I really have no more interest in trying anything else from this line, as the performance just isn't there for the price. If they were cheaper, where you could touch up or spray with abandon it wouldn't be an issue, but at the prices being asked, it's just not worth it. Besides, I already found and purchased my favorites from this line, Waterlily Sun and Ikat Jasmin, in travel spray and rollerball size, so I am happy with what I already have.

This is interesting. On my skin, it evolves into a semi-sweet, gourmand, white chocolate that is mixed with white florals. However, for the first hour, the ginger note gives off a BO smell which eventually fades. Intoxicating and attractive.

Such a shame, I think this just doesn't get along with my skin chemistry. For the first half an hour or so, there was a very strong body odour note. The fragrance still reminded me of being in a beach hut surrounded by palm trees and crystalline waters when I didn't stick my nose up to my arm but I just can't justifying the price for the disappointing opening! Hunt for the perfect beach scent continues

Nice, to me pretty generic floral. I don’t really get the coconut, definitely not beachy for me. I do like it as an easy to wear, don’t have to think about it fragrance. I do enjoy it for that. Sometimes I don’t want to think too hard about which fragrance I’m going to wear today and will just grab this, spritz and go knowing I smell nice to myself and probably anyone near me.

First of all, if you’re thinking of getting it, and you like sweet creamy tropical-coconut fragrances (but with class): GET IT!
I saw people were saying that it smelled like a rich woman on an all-inclusive resort in the Bahamas. With a large sun hat, designer sunglasses and a fancy long beach cover-up laying in a cabana by the pool. Handsome man bringing her cocktails. This is so accurate. To me you smell all the flowers listed in here, cooking in a pot of creamy coconut milk. With a hint of ginger in there.
I gifted this to my mother for her birthday (in the summer) without ever having smelled it. I thought the description fit my mom spot on. She wears it everyday since! When I walk by her room I sometimes secretly spray it on myself.. Not so secret because it leaves a huge trail everywhere you go. I need to buy this for myself too.. my wallet is crying.

Also very interested in waterlily sun and evening rose, too bad there not in department stores in my area:(

Frangipani is my absolute favourite floral smell of all time, and by combining it with milky coconut, Aerin has really hit the nail on the head for me. I will save up and repurchase this when my current bottle is over, for as long as I shall live. No joke.

A month ago I was tipped about Hibiscus Palm whilst looking for a summer fragrance and I'm so happy I found this. This has the perfect amount of everything! It's tropical, floral, fresh and it's just simply delicious.

At first I got a bit confused because I felt like I'd smelled this before, and then I realized it is kinda similar to Guerlian's Terracotta. I said kind of, because I will much rather be wearing this! It's lighter and not as sweet as Terracotta, and that's what I want for summer.

Can't wait to try more from Aerin!

This deep summer, tropical medley is an absolute DREAM to wear and I get tons of compliments on it. Yes, the sillage is enormous and I will regularly get asked what I'm wearing even in socially distanced environments. It will last all day. I spray on my wrists and neck and it tends to stick to my hair, with the gorgeous vanilla and white flowers lingering even until the next morning when I take a shower and revive the scent in the water.

It's too tropical to wear all year round but I wish I could because it's THAT yummy. Yummy but not sweet. The coconut isn't overpowering like most tropical scents and the vanilla works really well with all the paradise flowers.

It's more expensive than the average fragrance but I found it was well worth the splurge.

I never really understood what people mean when they say a fragrance is "tropical but not -or beyond- beachy". Now I do because this the perfect description of this scent. Tropical, floral, very feminine and surprisingly strong for an Aerin. Not exactly my style but who knows, if I will find myself on a tropical island, I might crave exactly this type of scent. I can definitely see why this is so popular.

I've tried a few of these ozonic, foamy and fatty kind of coconut-centric, clean scents--Heely Cocobello, Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz. I also have a coconut perfume oil from Kuumba Made that is similar.
Hibiscus Palm is very strong, and I can see why it hits the spot for a lot of people. I actually quite liked it on a very cold, polar day. (I layered this with Secret Obsession, which made things more interesting.) Never tried this particular coconut fragrance in summer yet.
Anyway, it's so linear. It's not the style of fragrance I like to wear. For me, the coconut note in fragrance feels artificial, but yes, sometimes it is very satisfying. And it's definitely powerful. But I am not often in the mood and wouldn't need a bottle of this.

I know it’s winter but I have been craving for something tropical so I bought this for myself for Christmas. Just received it today! Straight out the box I will say that the opening was so good, The ginger is strong but calms after an hour, I do wish the opening stayed longer. The dry down goes a bit bug spray or is that sunscreen lotion? Maybe I need to let the bottle sit a week and try again. I love the notes and it’s very tropical although I wish the ginger stayed longer but perhaps it will in the summer heat. It’s a keeper regardless.

This started off with a lovely beachy sunscreen vibe, but it quickly turned into something way too restrained for me. If I’m going to wear a tropical fragrance, I want it to go all the way. This holds back too much in the drydown. I’m not sure what occasion it would suit. Still, it’s a lovely scent, I’m a sucker for Frangipani, White Flowers, Coconut Milk, and Vanilla. In my book, those notes are pretty hard to dislike :)

I agree with some of the other reviewers that this is not your typical "beachy" scent, it goes way beyond beachy. I wasn't expecting to like it because I find the other Aerin fragances to be too floral and too single note. This is linear, but the accord is complex, beautifully blended to where I don't get overwhelmed by florals, coconut, ginger or anything else. It is just beautiful and unique.

I was expecting a creamier, sweeter coconut smell. However, what my nose gets is a very, veeery watery coconut. It seems this doesn't do well on my skin. It's still a lovely scent, however, I just can't get past the coconut in this. I will add that it does smell very natural. There is nothing synthetic about this. This smells like if you were all day at the beach and you put on really yummy nice smelling sunscreen and then you spilled some coconut water on yourself. I don't know if I made it sound unappealing, however, that's the vibe that this perfume gives me. It is nice, just not for me.

Firstly I think this goes beyond 'beachy' and can be worn all-year round. It has a warmth which melts into the skin and smells natural on each person, while making it seem slightly tropical, maybe this is the musk and frangipane combo.

It is sweet, floral, the frangipane is very unique and smells slightly powdery and almost banana-like. This is the tropical and refreshing feeling you get. The musk and vanilla are quite prominent to me, it is a feminine and close-to-the-skin scent. The lotus and top notes seem to fade kind of quickly, and the subtle spicy ginger seems to persist through the dry-down. I don't sense hibiscus and ylang-ylang noticeably, i think they are well blended into this.

Longevity is great on me, can smell it on clothes the next day. Sprayed twice into my towel-dried hair to give it a scent and it lasted subtly for a whole day and half till i next washed it. This is also good for layering, i wear it with a simple guiacwood-jasmine perfume that also has some ylang ylang in it. It makes that woody perfume much brighter, floral and great for colder weather.

Conclusion: The floral blend here is unique, and is an elegant fragrance which is subtle and sweet yet warm and captures your attention. Definitely more feminine than unisex. Strongest notes to me in order: frangipane, musk, vanilla, musk, ginger.

I absolutely adore this, so beautiful! I searched high and low for the perfect beachy tiare-forward fragrance, and this was the one that nailed it for me. This one is evocative of a gorgeous day on the beach in front of a 5-star resort, but it's not a gimmicky and can work in a variety of settings. It has great lasting power and lovely sillage. After a long tiare search, I had settled on either this or Beach Goddess, but BG has a weird dill pickle scent that comes out on my skin, so that was a pass. I should also mention there is something about Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk that reminds me of Hibiscus Palm, but they both have a place in my collection. Hibiscus Palm is more floral, sweet and bright, while Beach Walk is more salty, sandy and buttery, and a touch more vanilla on my skin. I think if you like Beach Walk and want to turn up the tropical flowers a bit more, you'll love this.

My signature scent. This is a masterpiece! I don't want everyone to know about this perfume because nobody likes to smell like everyone, also I don't want this perfume to be discontinued! This is Soleil Blanc on steroids. I want to wear this on my wedding day!!! I ONLY HAVE GOOD WORDS FOR THIS PERFUME. My explanation is all over the place bc I'm super loving this!

Think of guerlain's terracota with green palm note and ginger added. It is tropical yet not a typical one. Longevity is decent.

This is too coconutty to me, a little too sweet and I hate gardenia. But I tend toward dry wines and dry perfumes I guess. I liked Guerlain Terracotta better it was less suntan lotion to me but I gave that away too. If you want something really soft and creamy but not so in your face try Bora Bora Claiborne though a little sweet too, or Just Like Heaven Tory Burch. My favorite is Clean Skin in the purplish maroon box it smells creamy with just a faint hint of coconut thats so mild it's like you've already taken a shower but theres just a trace of the lotion left on you. But I think I'm in the minority and most people like these loud suntan lotion fragrances.

A pretty tropical floral scent with a nice balance of creaminess. I don’t find it too coconutty in a synthetic way, and I can really pick up the yellow floral notes here. It gives me a similar vibe to other “solar” “tropical” or “yellow floral” scents on the market. However the Aerin price point is not moving me to purchase a full size bottle…

Sillage and longevity are amazing on me!

I usually have a difficult time getting scents to last or project on my skin. I blind bought a travel size bottle of this, received it yesterday, and spayed some on my chest and inside my elbow before I went to sleep at midnight. Woke up at 7 am- could smell it right away. Now it's 9am- I can still smell it.

it's a pretty scent, stronger than I was expecting based on reviews. I don't like it quite as much as my Guerlain Terracotta- but that disappears on my in about 2 hours, just like 90% of other fragrances. I will definately be using this one up, and trying other Aerin fragrances.

I agree with the reviewer who says it smells like EL tuberose gardenia with coconut too. Very heady and lush.

My favorite non-gimmicky tropical coconut scent. If you’re looking for a sickeningly sweet synthetic coconut, you will not find it here. This is a mainly tropical floral scent with some green spiciness in the opening from the ginger and palm leaf which then later dries down to a beautiful creamy coconut vanilla. The coconut smells like the meat of the coconut and it isn’t too sweet. This scent reminds me of the years I spent living in Hawaii.

Hmm Hibiscus has no scent and neither has palms

A perfect summer day scent for woman. Very tropical and floral fragrance. Hibiscus and frangipani are the star of the perfume. Linear, you can wear it for your holidays, brunch, home, etc. The sillage and longevity are correct. Timeless, we can use this perfume few years (my problem with the summer perfumes).
7/10
In this brand, I prefer Mediterranean Honeysuckle (white flowers and grapefruit; more fresh) than Hibiscus Palm (hibiscus and frangipani) for summer.

I went to Nordstrom to hunt this down. Finally got to smell it, it reminds me of white shoulders from the 40’s. Glad I didn’t spend $130 on this.. I didn’t get any coconut at all, very one dimensional to me.

I mostly get the ylang and frangipani, which morphs into a "soft" coconut, palm, vanilla scent. The coconut does not smack you in the face. Longevity is only about 2 hours for me, and sillage is within an arm's length. I like it alot and have used up a travel spray, but it doesn't wow me enough to make me want to buy a large bottle.

Sweet, dewey, tropical white floral. I’m kind of disappointed in my search for a nice coconutty perfume as I don’t smell distinct coconut, but it’s nice and does remind me of the dry down of orchid soleil, which I already have, without the headachey corn note in the beginning. That’s a first impression, I’ll have to wear longer to test the sillage and longevity.

The perfect mix of white flowers and coconut milk
The opening is a little "spicy" due to the notes of palm leaf and ginger, but the tropical part makes it sweet and creamy.
When applied generously it doesn't get cloying and increases performance
Moderate and long-lasting projection
Score 9.0 / 10

Oh wow. Expensive sun lotion creamy coconut tropical floral summer breeze. Strong in that very Estée Lauder kind of way, not fleeting. I think for me this lies somewhere between Bronze Goddess and Beyond Paradise, and I love both! This conjures up images of far away holidays, and living in the UK these types of scents are total escapism when it’s cold and grey! It is a beautiful perfume, blended so well. I could only afford the travel size, so am spritzing very carefully to preserve it, but what a fabulous little treat. Just one sniff is enough to take me to sunnier places. Not much else to say, other than I love it.

Nice, smells like Estee Lauder Tuberose and Gardenia but with a hint of coconut and vanilla. Bit better rounded than the EL.

This is a lovely fragrance. It definitely gives me sunscreen/beach vibes, but I really enjoy that for the summer heat. I don’t see myself wearing this in any other season other than summer or if I’m on a beach vacation. I’ve been looking for a scent like this that doesn’t feel like a body spray and this is it for me!

This smells very similar to Bonetta Venega Knot but a lot more latonic. Both are very luxurious!

At first I was so dissatisfied with this perfume. I thought it smelled like my granny, but after a few weeks of wearing it in 90 degree heat. I fell in love. It’s absolutely stunning, Beautiful, a work of art. It’s a tropical vacation. I only have a small bottle, but will be purchasing a full size once it’s gone. It’s lasting power is about 6/8 hours for me and it can fill a room for about 4 hours, but after that it’s a beautiful skin scent. Which would be perfect for vacation!

For me this is absolute love, I love it so sooo much. Beautiful feminine fragrance for summer. Just the right amount of coconut mixed with tropical flower and it is so fresh. My top 5 for Life.

on paper this is a very strong scent! smells luxurious and sophisticated. definitely can see a sophisticated woman in her 40's or 50's wearing this at a beach resort in Hawaii or something. on my skin however, it's softer but I can i still think the florals in here are heavy. its something I can see someone wearing on vacation somewhere tropical, maybe drinking champagne on a yacht!

however I may have become nose blind because I swear I couldn't smell it anymore on my skin after 30 mins.

it is beautiful but I feel like this would suit a woman in her 40's - 50's. maybe I'll come back to this one when I get to that age.

One of the first fragrances that I smelled from a sample that I was like, I have to have it! This fragrance does a weird thing where if you lean in to smell where you sprayed it's not as strong yet when you wave your arm or smell from afar, it's prominent. Lasting power is phenomenal, more than 8+ hours and it lingers and doesn't die out; I smelled it that day after. The price is what kills me the most but you get what you pay for and I can justify the price, just wait for a sale. This smells like summer, lounging pool side in a 5 star resort or like you're luxuriating on a yacht in the south of France. The closest "dupe" I would say is sunkissed hibiscus from NEST, I own Soleil Blanc and Orchid Soleil and it gives a similar vibe but is not a dupe to my nose.

This is absolutely one of my top favorite summertime fragrances! The scent is light, floral, extremely tropical, and absolutely perfect for vacation or a beach day. On me, hibiscus and lotus are the notes that shine through upon the first initial spray, and then it dries down to a very nice, creamy white floral and coconut aroma. It also has the scent of some kind of sunscreen or sun tanning lotion, too, which I happen to enjoy!

Combined all together, this perfume smells incredibly luxurious. Every time I smell it, I'm transported to a tropical island, where I'm sipping a cocktail among green foliage, and there's a breeze coming in from the ocean. The sillage is pretty decent, and I would catch whiffs of the fragrance throughout the day, which smelled delicious. The longevity is also good for a lighter perfume, with me having to reapply around the 6 hour mark.

However, the price tag is my least favorite thing about this. I absolutely do not think that this is worth $135 for only 1.7 ounces, and it's obvious that you'll just be paying for the name (especially when you compare this to something like Gucci Bloom, which you can get for the same price at almost triple the size). While I think the scent is lovely, and the bottle is very pretty, it's truly not that special or remarkable of a fragrance to justify that price. I bought the travel spray for $30, and that will be more than enough to get me through the summer.

Gorgeous, realistic-smelling florals with a soft, smooth, lightly sweet, semi-tropical dry down. It very much smells like walking past trees and bushes in dense bloom. Definitely a "resort" perfume.
Unfortunately, I smell something like gardenia, or maybe tuberose, and both of these scents have the capacity to trigger headaches for me.

LisaMCollins,
No this is nothing like Tom Ford Eau de Soleil. I own both. Hibiscus Palm is more white floppy flowers with a creamy freshness...like a luxury hotel in the tropics. Tom Ford is more sunny, bright, zesty, benzoin, but also beautiful. I love them both but Hibiscus Palm is my favorite.

A tropical bouquet in a luxurious hotel bench waiting for you to pick up and sniff.

Compliment magnet for sure.

Initial thoughts: I LOVED the scent. Went out to go sniff it out at sephora after hearing this was similar to Lys 41 which I also love but cannot afford. Opens really strong sweet coconutty, florals, then dries down to a clean velvetty vanilla scent. My sample strip lasted the pretty much until the next day so I HAD to go back and buy the travel sized bottle at least.

Turns out, this doesn't sit too good on my skin. Projection is good maybe for an hour or so, before its only visible at arms length. And the dry down on my skin is more powdery than what was initially on the paper strip. Mind you I live in a humid and sunny tropical island, so that could be a factor. Maybe should have splurged on the Le Labo :'(

Overall: Still a very good summer scent. Better on fabric than on skin imho, and a tad overpriced.

QUESTION: If you have Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc is Hibiscus Palm redundant or can you smell a real difference?
Thank you for any and all responses.

I love this. I smell this and vision a beach holiday. Just a tad behind the ears in the day while outside by the pool or beach to mix with the salt air and sun lotion. A full on spritz before going out to dinner to dine alfresco. It seems like forever since I have gone there and nothing in the near future but this scent makes me want to start packing my suitcase.

This perfume is amazing! It is a creamy, tropical, beachy mix of white floral (more tuberose-like), a bit of yellow florals and a lot of coconut. I agree with another reviewer that said it reminds them of Le Labo Lys 41, except that while Lys 41 is more tuberose and white floral heavy, Hibiscus Palm is all that plus more beachy and coconutty vibes. It actually reminds me a bit of TF Soleil Blanc, if you took away all the spicy/balsamic notes that I couldn’t stand, and added in more white florals, yellow florals and freshness. It’s the PERFECT summer scent, and it does wonders when the weather is warmer. LOVE!

How to test this fragrance:

This fragrance does not smell that great smelled directly on skin or a tester strip. This one smells amazing when you smell it on someone who is walking by.

If you want to try this, bring a friend. Spray it on them. After 5 minutes, have them walk past you (or just go shopping with them). I love it :)

This is so nice! Creamy, floral, tropical, mostly frangipani palms and creamy coconut flesh. The kind you can get on a secluded tropical beach freshly cut for the juice. It really does smell like an ideal tropical holiday, the fresh, green, palm leaves and tropical flowers being blown around by a salty breeze coming from the ocean. No greased up coconut suntan lotion or a sea of naked fat bodies here! The island is all yours. Reminds me of my time in Grenada a good friend used to live there and I spent quite some time exploring the island. She knew all the secret beaches I loved that place. And this perfume! I got the cutest little mini bottle, keeping it for the summer.

I don’t hate the smell of Hibiscus Palm, but there has been something stopping me from buying a full bottle. I sprayed myself today and finally realized that it smells reminiscent to some tropical powdered carpet cleaner. I have used so many tropical scented household cleaning products in the past that I can’t disassociate that fragrance memory. I feel the same way with Comptoir Sud Pacifique Aloha Tiare. That smells like air freshener/candle. To be honest I’ve personally never smelled these tropical scents in nature. So household products have been my only exposure to this fragrance group.

Hibiscus palm actually projects from my skin and lasts for quite a while. It’s closer to Tom Ford Orchid Soleil than Soleil Blanc. You could say it is in the same genre as Amouage Love Tuberose also. It reminds me of Sand and Sable or even Prell Shampoo. Maybe if it were airy, watery or soapy, I could enjoy it more. It’s just a little too concentrated for me.

It’s very thick and creamy. It reminds me of Pina Colada with the sourish flowers replacing the pineapple. The coconut, ginger, and frangipani/hibiscus really stand out. I can’t pick out which white florals are being used.

Lovely sweet tuberose/coconut scent- warms up into a beautiful skin scent- reminds me of Le Labo's Lys 41-

Not nice. I don't know what it is I'm smelling but it definitely isn't coconut or vanilla. It's something sharp and green. Maybe it's palm leaves? If so, I'm glad I don't live in a tropical climate. Anyway, it's another expensive failure.

Edited to add: I tried this again and this time I quite like it. I no longer get the sharpnesss; it's more rounded and creamier today, so I am getting the coconut and vanilla after all. Nice summer scent which, like all other Aerin Lauder fragrances, does not last long on the skin. I'll try it on fabric to see if that aids longevity.

Just tried this yesterday. NO! All I get is an overload of floral notes...to the point where I felt nauseous. There's no tuberose listed but that's what I smell, and a lot of it. No sweet, no coconut, no vanilla...just tuberose. Thank goodness I only purchased the travel size.

I very much agree with the comparison to TF Orchid Soleil and think a comparison to Guerlain Lys Soleia is a stretch. Orchid Soleil has the almost menthol/nose-burning aspect, which is absent in Hibiscus Palm. For those that pick up the corn tortilla undertone of Orchid Soleil and loathe that aspect, I would suggest giving this one a try.

Well is remind me of beautiful love by Estee lauder The aroma Is very beautiful The smell of Jasmine come along with sun cream and again I got the feeling like I put Coconut oil mix up hibiscus Flower in my body this fragrance it made me feel sunshine everywhere I walking through people i Get compliments alot love this fragrance

I've been searching for the perfect summery coconut/sun cream scent but unfortunately this isn't it for me. It smells very similar to guerlains terracotta to me rather than bronze godess. I am getting a strange sort of spicy, medicinal note in the opening that I don't like. It reminds me of lilys - the smell of the little orange stamens inside the flowers. It does die down so it's less intense but i continued to smell it for over an hour until I eventually scrubbed it off as I was developing a headache. I can't really comment on the longevity but the sillage was OK.

After wearing this for a few consecutive days in a row, I decided to change my review.
At first, I strongly disliked this fragrance because the coconut was hiding so far behind the flowers, and all I could think of was my grandma.

But

I like it.
It grew on me. It’s very strong white flowers at firs gardenias, Jasmin, magnolia, etc. the dry down is beautiful and the coconut starts peeping its head in just the slightest.

The temperature hit 90 degrees today and my husband could smell me from across the yard.
I give this an 8/10.
When I smell it now I instantly think of a rich young millionaire suntanning by a private pool outside of her 3 million dollar mansion.

A super pretty "expensive suntan lotion" scent. It is really perfect for the summer, and I cannot imagine anyone disliking it. Lots of smooth & sweet plumeria, with a waxy white flower backdrop. Heaps on sun-warmed coconut water and flesh. Perfectly pleasant and probably will be well-received by mostly everyone. However, the price makes me cringe. It's not really worth over, let alone anywhere near $130. It should be half that. Hibiscus Palm does not bring anything new or interesting, and while it's not super weak, it is also not very strong. This theme has been done plenty of times before, and many are even better.

Aerin Lauder, (the grand-daughter of Estee Lauder), has built a nice little perfume empire for herself. Her fragrances are similar in style to Estee Lauder, however, they breathe more youth into the brand. Hibiscus Palm is her version of Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess; a coconutty, tropical beach scent for a warm climate.

Reviewers have drawn some comparisons to Tom Ford's Orchid Soleil and Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Lys Soleia. I am familiar with both of these fragrances and while I see where they are coming from, I find Hibiscus Palm to be fruitier and more playful on the skin.

I detect a juicy, melon-esque aroma in Hibiscus Palm, almost like the scent of a freshly-cut fruit salad. Fruit notes aren't listed in this fragrance's scent pyramid, but I can smell something reminiscent of green melon. The coconut accord is sweet and milky, and the hibiscus, ylang-ylang and frangipani notes bring to mind a Balinese garden in full bloom.

Sadly Hibiscus Palm doesn't last particularly well on warm skin, disappearing after a few hours. This fragrance does come in a rollerball, however, so if you are keen to re-apply throughout the day you could easily have Hibiscus Palm in your handbag for easy 'touch-ups'.

Aerin Lauder's Hibiscus Palm smells best on a warm Summer's day and I have been generously applying my sample this month to counteract the heat. I have only just started to dip my toe into the Aerin Lauder range and I am keen to sample more from her fragrance line.

Love this fragrance! Sparkly comes to mind. Making me want a mimosa with breakfast! The hibiscus and lotus are to die for in this blend! Very soft yet powerful. Lasts all day for me. Very up beat ready to get things done fragrance!

A very light, pillowy scent with surprising sillage and lasting power (I get between four and five hours, generally) for such a beachy scent. Well blended, high quality ingredients help it smell more sophisticated than similar scents like Bronze Goddess. Definitely comes off more floral than coconut, which I appreciate. The best summer fragrance out there in my opinion, and worth that price tag. Also lovely to splash on in the winter when the sun is gone and that seasonal depression hits!

this is gorgeous, after reading reviews the notes are all very much what im drawn to thought would give it a test in john lewis,

i love bronze godess/ and solei blanc tom ford but these are fleeting scents and dont have the sunstance behind them to last long,but this is truly beautiful, its the same sun tan/cocounutty salty smell, this really lasts so long and is very loud siliage. it smells of warm tropical air, hot sand, palm leaves and the floral notes are very creamy sweet just beautiful.

have bought the 50ml online, i dont mind the price tag as most beachy scents only last hour or so and this is very long lasting/ smells very luxurious. I dont care im in the uk and is raining i need this scent all year :)

Vacation in a bottle

Ladies, try this one.

I sprayed it on a test strip and left it on my desk. I caught random whiffs for 3 days.

Warning: this smells generic on a test strip but magnetic on a person. Spraying it on a person unlocks the "palm" note. It's a soothing, fresh green note that makes this amazing. Wear it to an outside social event and you will be positively noticed! I love this.

If you are a minimalist, you could own this for the day and Evening Rose for the evening -my two favorite fragrances from this line.

I bought this perfume and it reminded me a perfume that I had Elie Saab le parfum l'eau couture which is a good combination of sweet and floral notes.

Adding to my previous review: I had to buy this perfume after testing it several times and now I have been wearing it for a month. I feel this is the perfect summer scent for me. I can definitely feel a difference from Bronze Goddess. Hibiscus Palm is softer and more refined... Besides the coconut I smell more flowers and it has a green note to it as well, which must be the palm leaves. This comes out after wearing it for some time.
Yesterday a woman asked me what perfume I was wearing because it reminded her of Carnal flower (Frederic Malle).
I love this perfume. I also love the elegant bottle.

This is a beautiful summer scent. Soft floral that reminds of a tropical beach. I mostly smell the coconut and thus it reminds me very much of Bronze Goddess skinscent, which is a cheaper version... and maybe also of Beach walk by Maison Martin Margiela.

This was a blind buy, and I wish I'd read the reviews a little more closely. I've been impressed by Aerin fragrances before, so had high hopes for this one given its name and promises of tropical flowers. For me, I have to agree with those who have called it generic. I could barely make out any particular note present, although I smelled vanilla and a broad floral scent. At times I could smell a hint of something vaguely tropical, but it was always quickly overpowered by the rest, and disappointingly no coconut either. This smells like a cheap sweet flowery perfume that could be any number of hundreds you've probably smelled in your life. I was almost tempted to go wash it off because it is one of those generic scents that really starts to irritate you after awhile.

Initially on paper I was disappointed with this, not because it wasn’t beautiful, but because I’d get more fruitiness from the hibiscus and green from the palm. Instead it was another coconuty white floral. I got a mini of this in a set, and decided to try it on my skin today. It was completely different on my skin. More of the palm came out, but still subtly. The ginger was really noticeable, which was throwing me off a little. It settles a bit as it dries down to reveal the tropical white flowers more. In the end I’ve determined it does actually have its own character from other tropical scents, but I’m not sure this suits my skin as well as I’d like. I’ll still finish the mini, and maybe by the end or on a different day, I’ll feel differently. In general I really like Aerin perfumes and think they’re well done and good quality.

Tropical floral very much in the same vein as Tom Ford Soleil Blanc but milder and a whole lot sweeter. Not nearly as potent as SB and doesn't last as long either. This could easily be a tropical themed Michael Kors or Escada flanker, and it doesn't particularly smell expensive or niche. Generally nice but over priced. If you are to blind buy this, go for a tester online, not worthy of a splurge.

Definitely a warm weather tropical beachy scent. But so damn overpriced.

I love it so much!!!!! ❤❤ Hibiscus with hints of ginger, vanilla and palm leaves. And it's my signature scent!

This is right in between TF soleil blanc and orchid soleil

This fragrance threw me back to my childhood memory when i live in Java, Indonesia.

This is the smell of JAVANESE WEDDING Ceremony, it takes 2 days to complete the ceremony. Checkout on youtube.

The first day, is showering the bride and groom to be with water from 7 sources consist of 7 different flowers (Setaman flowers). Each has a certain meaning for the ceremony.

1.Sedap malam=night tuberose /polianthes tuberosa (lit. flower that smells good in the night, because it bloom at night and you can smell it the strongest in the night, truely is a "queen of the night")
2.Kenanga = Cananga/ylang ylang
3.Kantil = White Champaka
4.Melati Gambir = Jasmin (jasminum pubescens/officinale)
5.Melati= Jasmin Sambac
6.Mawar Merah = Red Rose
7.Mawar Putih = White Rose

On the wedding day, the bride hairdo will be done with a lei of a fresh jasmine. Also the groom has a lei of jasmin on his neck.
The bridal room (for honeymoon) is decorated with abundance amount of flowers (Tuberose, Jasmin and Rose)

Not only the couple but the whole house/rooms smell so divine!! Together with the wedding costume, the music of "Gamelan" and the wedding rituals itself makes the whole ceremony so sacret, mystical and magical.

I live in The Netherlands, everytime i visited my family in Java, my mom put a bunch of tuberose in my rooms & jasmin on my bed. I love the smell of my room.

I am wearing a sample/tester at the moment and everytime i smell it, i get really homesick and i miss my family.

Tuberose on this one is so pure. I don't smell any other notes but Tuberose.Although,it is not specified in the notes list above. I am 100%sure it is the white flower.

Sillage :Enormous tuberose ( 9/10)
Longevity: Beasty - long lasting (12 hrs+)
Overall: 10/10

This is so far the best scent of Tuberose and on top of my fragrance list. Very well done Aerin Lauder!

I am so loving it!!!!! ❤❤

Hibiscus Palm is in a similar style to Bronze Goddess, but here the white flowers take precedence over the coconut. There are hints of green in the opening and it begins fresh, developing into a warm beachy haze. The fragrance is soft to my nose, not loud or overly potent. It is perfect for those who want a tropical fragrance without smelling like suntan lotion.

I received a sample of this perfume from Sephora. When I smelled the tester tube, I could smell a strong vanilla and coconut scent. I love coconut so I figured I would give it a go.
I suffer from migraines so I have to be careful when sampling perfumes. Half a squirt on one wrist and I was done.
Not a migraine issue but a scent issue. I allowed it to dry down on me praying for that scent I smelled on the tube. unfortunately, it never came and off I went to scrub my wrist. I don't like this scent on me.

If you have ever been to the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas then you will know what I mean when I say this is what the perfume smells like. The Tropicana was opened back in the 1950's and was quite the attraction to the mob. So my mind thinks this is what the hotel smelled like with the blend of expensive perfumes, cigars, alcohol only now it is 2018 and the scent still lingers from the 50's in the hotel.

Oh my, this is tropical beachy heaven! Light, airy coconut and white flowers with just the right amount of vanilla for good measure. Don't laugh, but this kind of reminds me of a much higher quality Sand and Sable, so so beautiful! A love for me! <3

I’ve tested twice... unfortunately I can’t get anything other than loud, headache inducing tuberose... I was so excited to try it!

Unfortunately, this one is a scrubber for me. I wanted to like this, but I'm unfortunately not jiggy with tuberose.

This smells a lot like Lilly Pulitzer Beachy to me but without the synthetic floral bomb aspect that pervades it. Beachy was once one of my favorite fragrances, but it started to give me such a headache I had to get rid of it. This is the perfect replacement and it’s much nicer. I do get the tuberose that other people are getting in the beginning, but it fades pretty quickly and I’m left with a warm, slightly dry, slightly humid coconut and frangipani/pleasant indiscernible white floral. I live in Florida where it is currently “winter” but I suspect this will really shine in the heat. Everything that I love about the beach without everything I hate. Really nice.

Tropical and beach. Kind of powdery candy. Totes good for Florida weather.

Its Tom Ford eau de soleil blanc ! Its the same omg the same !!!!!

Just received this Online from Estee Lauder, and after the above reviews regarding longevity and powerful sillage - and following my morning shower - I've only done a tiny spritz on my wrists, and OMG! This is gorgeous, but so glad I went very light initially. This is enourmous, I think I've filled my whole house with this most beautiful fragrance! I'm in south Florida, and for us this is early spring with lots of sun and 75 degree weather. Perfect choice for me for this time of year. Thank you, Aerin Lauder - I have a few perfumes from this house, and already I'm thinking this will be my favorite!

Just received my rollerball and at first sniff this has some punch, kind of a big floral with a tropical twist, with a big note of white flowers which is a bit sharp..I kind of expected fresher and this isn't..it is like classy, a bit like Bronze Goddess minus the suntan vibe..it gets a bit creamier in the base with the frangipani taking the lead, some vanilla, but to my nose the white flowers still dominate and it remains too sharp..I don't think this is for me, plus it is more a spring summery scent.

I get the green sharpness that some users are describing while still maintaining that white floral vibe. Is it the lotus? Palm Leaf? I can't quite put my finger on it. The dry down is sweet and light on me. Definitely takes me to a tropical beach at sunset when you have that warm feeling from a bit too much sun while walking to dinner on the beach path lined with tropical plants.

This is a truly enjoyable perfume! Wow I wasn't expecting this from Aerin lauder. It's a very sophisticated yet romantic scent, a bit of a departure from the rest of the line. At first spray, it is very bright and edgy. Afterwards I do feel like the musk is quite strong and very animalic which I thought was going to be a deal breaker for me, but I was wrong. It totally holds this composition together so beautifully. Also very long lasting, it slowly unfolds throughout the day. Just gorgeous!

this is kind of sharp. not sure I'm digging it

it reminds me of beach walk, somewhat. it is however very lush. but please don't think this is Victoria secrets "beachy", its very sophisticated!

Tropical floral beachy LOVE.

Had to purchase this as soon as it came out. Fleshy sweet tuberose, ylang ylang frangipani, with a dose of tropical coconut. Great beachy white floral. Smells amazing.
🥥🌴 🧡

Same vein as Tom Ford Soleil Blanc.

Edit....Does NOT smell like the Tom Ford Soleil designer series. That is a tuberose sweet and a bag of fritos corn chips laden with patchouli.

I love that perfume!

I love this! So much, that I came home after testing and ordered a bottle. If you like Bronze Goddess, this one reminds me of it. Only, it's more lush and floral. I find it a departure from the other Aerin fragrances. It's not as subdued.
