Hibiscus Mahajad Extrait perfume, 50ml, €195, Maison Crivelli

You can always pick out a scent. So it happens that one of my earliest friends always thinks of me with a hint of Coco Mademoiselle and Marlboro Light. Those two seem to form a delicious blend. I believe that a perfume grows with you and that sometimes you outgrow it, so I switched a few times. But lately, out of desperation, I was just hopping from perfume to perfume. I had no idea anymore, and if I liked something, the scent would evaporate within half an hour. Until I found May's Christmas gift under the tree. In that lovely gift box from Skins was the Hibiscus MahaJád from Maison Crivelli. I believe I've never smelled anything so delicious. It's hibiscus, rose, but then with vanilla, leather, and some musk. Skins describes it as tasting hibiscus tea in the heart of a gemstone market. Even though I've never been there, I now know how it smells. A big tip if you're looking for a new and especially unique perfume.
