HIBISCUS MAHAJÁD

01Portrait

SECTION 01 · PORTRAIT

A hibiscus fragrance built without literal hibiscus.

Founder Thibaud Crivelli built Hibiscus Mahajád around drinking hibiscus tea in a gemstone market. Maison Crivelli publishes no note pyramid here — only a flat list of key materials and a poetic "olfactory experience." That list names Damascena rose, vanilla, leather, spearmint, blackcurrant, ambrette and cinnamon, but no hibiscus extract at all.

“A flamboyant duo of hibiscus and rose contrasts with the softness of vanilla bean, leather, and musks.”

BEFORE YOU SAMPLE

It may not suit you if…

The name promises literal hibiscus, but the brand's own material list contains none — this is a rose-blackcurrant evocation of the flavour, not the flower itself.
Projection and longevity are genuinely powerful; expect it to read loud in close quarters or the office.
The opening reads sweet and jammy fast — if you're expecting a clean, transparent floral this leans considerably richer and denser.

Performance and perception vary by skin, climate, application and formulation. Sample before buying whenever possible.

02The olfactive journey

NO OFFICIAL STAGING — ONE FLAT LIST OF MATERIALS

Maison Crivelli presents this as a single olfactory experience, not a pyramid — so here's what actually stands out.

ALL AT ONCE

Rose, blackcurrant, mint, cinnamon, leather, vanilla and amber, together.

The house describes this as a flamboyant floral duo of hibiscus and rose contrasting with the softness of vanilla bean, leather and musks — not a staged development. Maison Crivelli's own material list leads with Damascena rose absolute reinforced by blackcurrant for roundness and luminosity; spearmint (echoing mint's natural presence in hibiscus tea) and cinnamon (which the brand says introduces the leather) run alongside; vanilla is named as the signature base material, deepened by leather, ambrette seeds and benzoin-led amber. No hibiscus extract appears in the brand's own list at all — its tartness is evoked entirely by the rose and blackcurrant.

QUENTIN BISCH BUILT A FLAVOUR MEMORY, NOT A FLOWER

The perfumer behind the portrait

Quentin Bisch composed Hibiscus Mahajád from founder Thibaud Crivelli's own sensory memory of drinking hibiscus tea in a gemstone market. Rather than using hibiscus extract, and without staging the result into a formal pyramid, Bisch evokes that tea's tart, rosy character through Damascena rose and blackcurrant, using Givaudan's ORPUR-grade raw materials throughout.

“The fruity facet of the rose is reinforced by a note of blackcurrant which accentuates its roundness and its luminosity.”
