Hiram Green Slowdive Natural Perfume Review

April 24, 2018

Hiram Green Slowdive

Ever since I fell in love with Moon Bloom by Hiram Green back in 2013, I knew this new brand wouldn’t disappoint. Five years later and I still love Moon Bloom, a luxurious tuberose soliflore. I’ve also loved a few more from the brand (like the waxy orange blossom, Dilettante). With the newest launch, Slowdive, I’m even more impressed with the brand than I was before!

When I first sprayed Slowdive, I gasped and said, “ORANGE BLOSSOM HONEY”. It is a… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Hiram Green Arbole Arbole EDP Natural Perfume Review

March 14, 2017

Hiram Green Arbole ArboleYears ago, I was obsessed with finding a fragrance that was “creamy green”. I found it with Aftelier Haute Claire. That natural perfume was the perfect blend of bitter green notes like galbanum paired with creamy ylang-ylang and vanilla.

It’s a line that embraces natural ingredients and doesn’t launch fragrances until they’re “just right”.

I really like the other two releases from Hiram Green, Moon Bloom and Shangri-La. As… Continue reading | 6 Comments

Hiram Green Voyage EDP Natural Perfume Review

December 8, 2015

Hiram Green Voyage

Voyage is a new limited edition natural perfume by Hiram Green that is inspired by India that’s “as opulent as Octopussy’s floating palace on Lake Pichola“. It resides in a place where fantasy meets reality. For me, Voyage brings to mind wonderful vintage perfumes of the early 1980’s. It’s glistening citrus, sumptuous spices and this amazing velvet-y amber base. It’s multi-layered and is one of those “they don’t make ’em like they used to” perfumes. But, oh yes, they do.

Voyage opens with a lactonic peach and poignant citrus oils. I… Continue reading | 14 Comments
