About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →
Chilled hibiscus tea over crushed berries, spiced with leather and mint. Hibiscus Mahajád by Maison Crivelli is flamboyant luxury captured in scent. Vibrant hibiscus, juicy cassis, luminous Damask rose, cool mint, sensual leather and creamy vanilla create a fragrance that feels bold, glamorous and unforgettable: powerful elegance with irresistible presence. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch.
The Story
Released in 2021, Hibiscus Mahajád grew from founder Thibaud Crivelli’s experience of drinking hibiscus tea in a gemstone market. The perfume builds on the tea’s tart, fruity character, with rose and vanilla accentuating its rosy, vanillic side, and sets the brightness of hibiscus against spiced leather and spearmint. Maison Crivelli, founded in 2018, centers each creation on an unexpected discovery of a raw material.
How It Smells
Opening
Bold, vibrant and immediately unforgettable, a dazzling blend of hibiscus, cassis, peppermint and cinnamon. It feels juicy, sparkling and electric, like chilled hibiscus tea poured over crushed berries with a flash of fresh mint.
Heart
Richer and more sensual. Damask rose and hibiscus bloom into a lush floral heart that feels velvety, jammy and luxurious, while leather and ambrette add texture and warmth, a seductive contrast between sweetness and depth.
Dry Down
Warm and creamy, with vanilla, musks, ambery warmth and soft leather. It settles into an opulent cloud that smells rich, magnetic and impossible to ignore, with notably strong projection.
