27 87 Hakuna Matata is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Hakuna Matata opens with Broom, Bergamot, and Banana, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Honey and Labdanum. 27 87's Hakuna Matata carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly polarising scent, Hakuna Matata is either a joyful, tropical banana and honey dream or a nauseating synthetic nightmare. This one's definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're brave enough, it promises a unique and memorable ride.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

However, its vibrant and energetic profile makes it a fantastic fit for casual outings, especially outdoors, and brings a playful edge to unique date night scenarios.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a cheeky, bright rush of banana and fresh bergamot, a playful prelude to the full Hakuna Matata experience. As it settles, a sweet, golden honey accord takes centre stage, woven expertly with the creamy white florals of orange blossom and jasmine. The base is an inviting embrace of warm honey and labdanum, leaving a comforting, lasting impression long after the initial banana high fades.
