Gul Hina
by Areej Le Doré
Gul Hina is a sweet, softly floral fragrance with a prominent white floral and magnolia opening, balanced by a gentle, creamy musk and a dry base of sandalwood. It presents a clean, feminine profile with a noticeable synthetic sweetness that some describe as cloying or overly sweet. The scent evolves with a subtle green freshness from henna and a powdery musk, which dominates the drydown. The overall impression is delicate and wearable, especially in cooler weather, with a moderate to strong sillage. It has a light, bubbly quality reminiscent of early white floral perfumes from department store chains. The perfume holds a surprising longevity for its class, with most finding it lasting well through the day and into the night. It is widely regarded as a light, summer-bright scent suited for weekend wear or intimate occasions, making it more appropriate as an occasional or personal fragrance than for everyday professional use. It doesn’t project aggressively — it fits comfortably within a moderate sillage range, making it intimate yet noticeable.
