by Aerin Lauder
Hibiscus Palm by Aerin Lauder is a lush, tropical floral fragrance that balances creaminess with freshness. It opens with a vibrant green and spicy note of ginger and lotus, layered over white florals and ylang-ylang, creating a complex, opulent bouquet. As it develops, the scent deepens into a smooth, creamy base of coconut milk, vanilla, and musk, evoking a warm, sun-drenched tropical island. The harmony of tropical florals—frangipani, hibiscus, and jasmine—gives it a feminine, elegant feel without becoming cloying. Many users describe it as luxurious, reminiscent of a five-star resort or being on a private yacht, with strong projection and long-lasting sillage. It performs best on warm skin, shining brightest during summer, and fans appreciate its linear, elegant progression. A few note that it can be overwhelming or overly sweet for sensitive noses, while others find it lacks distinct coconut notes or feels too generic for the price.
