Inebriante by Hinode

Worn it for two days and it caught me off guard: lasts about 8-10 hours on my skin with strong projection for the first four. Smells good on me, giving it a 7/10. Here in Ecuador, you can pick it up for $60.

What a mess they’re making of it, it’s actually a gem! Smells different; I don’t have it in my collection of 100 perfumes. Lasts quite a while and leaves a nice trail on clothes. It’s a mix of Bleu with something fruity; I love it every time I use it, especially the longevity. It’s not a cheap spray; I atomise a lot and it holds up well. It comes in bursts and smells brilliant. The only downside: it’s not for everyone, it might seem odd, but if you open your mind and are in the perfume world, you’ll understand it.

They say it’s a catalogue scent, generic and synthetic, but it delivers excellent longevity and projection, and people like it quite a bit. Two years ago I refused to buy it because reviews labelled it cheap, but I regret not having it sooner. With more judgement, after smelling several niche, designer, and Arabic fragrances, I can say it’s worth it.

I bought it recently at a ridiculous price. It smells much more expensive than it costs; it’s rich. It lasts and projects massively; it didn’t last the 12 hours of some videos but it surpassed 7. It projects massively and makes itself felt; I’ve received several compliments. Perfume bomb.

I love it, gave it to my partner. It’s fresh and seductive, smells like an expensive perfume, with very good projection and trail. Addictive.

One night with friends, they asked what perfume I was wearing. I had Rasasi Hawas on since the morning, and they said it smelled very cool. We started talking about perfumes; I’m quite casual about this, but then one of them mentioned they’d just paid for a bottle costing around 65 USD (we’re from Colombia) and invited me to smell it. I leaned in and all I could detect was their clothes, a generic scent like those bargain perfumes from magazines. They said they’d put it on just two hours ago. To be honest, it was unpleasant; I’ve even smelled better magazine scents than that thing at the price they claimed. Don’t buy it. For that price and quality, you’ll find far better options. It seems some cheap influencer recommended it, and many people have fallen for it.

Greetings to the community. I tried this fragrance yesterday at a trusted perfumerie; the saleswoman offered it to me because I like rare perfumes. To be honest, I didn’t like it much. On leaving, it smelled very synthetic, plastic and grating; it seemed more like a BADLY MADE IMITATION than a perfume. Also, it’s very strong; anyone who abuses the atomiser will suffer headaches, it’s an olfactory suicide and it cloyes others. The unpleasant smell disappears after half an hour, leaving something more bearable close to the skin until it fades. PLEASE DON’T BUY IT BLINDLY, you might be let down. Performance on skin is good, as someone said it fills a room at first. For the price (around $70 here) it’s not worth it; there are better options like Voyage by Nautica or Starwalker by Montblanc. The only nice thing is the bottle.

I’ve been using it fully for three days. Intoxicating? Hype? It’s a visually nice bottle, although the materials aren’t great; the cap is the worst, it reminded me it was catalogue and confirmed it. I fitted an atomiser because it was dripping; I cleaned the cloth and in two minutes it flooded the space with its aroma. I understand it’s intoxicating and why so many like it, but I think they hype it more than it is. I’M NOT SAYING IT’S BAD, on the contrary, it achieves its goal of being catalogue, easy to use and pleasing to all; you’ll surely get compliments. The aroma is an explosive apple opening, not like Boss Bottled, but more youthful and bright. Citrus and lots of bamboo-type notes like Starwalker are also noticeable. On drying, there are woody touches, perhaps leather, black amber or papyrus. I found it curious that the citrus lasts almost the entire longevity; it has good performance, I think it reaches 8-10 hours, for me it lasted 6-7. Good scent, very versatile and easy for daily use, achieves its goal peeeeeeeero it’s nothing new or surprising. Very SYNTHETIC, if you have experience you’ll detect it easily; after 4-5 hours it smells like plastic. There are three types of opinions: if you’re new, you’ll love it and use it always. If you have experience, you’ll like it but it won’t be your favourite, perhaps you’ll use it occasionally. If you’re a niche expert, you’ll have to follow your path, maybe some will like it. I’d buy it again if the price dropped, paying $1000-1200 for that quality 👎🏻 doesn’t please me. Greetings.

More than intoxicating, it’s unbearable! I tried it recently for a lovely and kind girl from Brazil who works with the house; since I’m going to lunch at her mother’s restaurant, I suppose she made me aware of it. Its opening is a fruity blend like an apple candy, with shrill floral notes and aldehydic trails, super sweet and synthetic, to the point of assaulting the olfactory senses abruptly and betraying the quality. Compared to Cartier, Dior, Lalique, Hermès, or even Rochas, it is far below. On clothes, the scent sticks with potency, but nothing pleasant. Salespeople always have the same ace up their sleeve: “It lasts longer and people smell it more than branded ones,” as if being noticed from afar is what matters. Obviously, a good intention for the consumer, but if you notice how cloying and overwhelming it is, you change your mind. Or if you’ve already bought it, you end up gifting it. We shouldn’t rule out that someone might love it and make it their signature. I’m surprised that in perfume groups they say its quality rivals Dior, Chanel, Gucci, or Guerlain. I don’t judge them in public, as once I said Encre Noire was on par with Black Afgano and received fierce criticism for my wallet and tone. Anyway, I learned the lesson: be measured. Returning to Hinode, it’s mandatory to try before spending. Don’t let yourself be carried away by comparisons with popular blue perfumes; my favourite is Y Eau de Parfum by YSL, which surpasses it in quality. I prefer not to qualify it further.

It’s very unpleasant; I didn’t like it at all. I let myself be led by a Colombian YouTuber, which is why I bought it; if you want to scare someone with this fragrance you’ll succeed, and it’s overpriced. Please don’t buy it blindly.
