LoveHibiscus

The Love Hibiscus flacon: hibiscus red, with a white fluted cap.

A hibiscus flower lives for a single day. Love Hibiscus carries it into the night.

An Eau de Parfum by Jérôme Epinette for the Secret Garden collection of The House of Amouage.

Scroll to open the day

At first light, a bud

A hibiscus flower opens with the sun and lasts a single day. Renaud Salmon, Amouage’s Chief Creative Officer, found this one in the everyday landscape of Oman, where hibiscus grows in vivid colour.

The flacon wears the same intense red as the flower.

Tart and sweet from the first breath

Love Hibiscus opens on both of its facets at once: hibiscus, tart, berry-like and herbaceous, and a sugar-coated palmier accord, sweet, buttery and caramelised.

The palmier, a folded puff pastry caramelised at the edges, is a childhood memory of Renaud Salmon, Amouage's Chief Creative Officer.

Noon, in full bloom

At the heart, Jérôme Epinette set the flower with orris and frankincense, the resin of Oman.

“It occurred to me that as [hibiscus] are such a prominent part of the Omani landscape, they ought to be invited into our Secret Garden.”

Renaud Salmon, Chief Creative Officer, Amouage

Light, then shade

As the sun lowers, sandalwood, cypriol and vanilla give the flower its weight and depth. Amouage calls the result inviting, mysterious and enticing: the light and shade of a vivacious, uncompromising femininity.
