Hiram Green Slowdive is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Hiram Green. Slowdive opens with Neroli and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Beeswax, Dried Fruits, and Tobacco Blossom, and dries down to a base of Resins. Hiram Green's Slowdive carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Prepare for pure honey action with this fragrance. Slowdive is a divisive beast: some say it's a masterpiece of photorealistic honey and beeswax, others find it overwhelming. Not for the faint of heart, but if you're bee-curious, this one's begging for a sniff.

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.

The intensity and sweetness of Slowdive make it unsuitable for office wear, with many finding it overpowering. However, its rich, sensual character, often described as 'sexy' and 'seductive', is perfect for a special date night or intimate evening. Its relaxed, comforting vibe could suit a cosy casual setting, especially in cooler weather.

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.

  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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

Slowdive opens thick and sweet with photorealistic honey and waxy beeswax, like a comb fresh from the hive. Beneath this golden deluge, dried fruits offer a dark, chewy depth, subtly spiced, while orange blossom and neroli provide a brief, bright counterpoint before settling into a resinous, warm embrace. The tobacco blossom adds a sophisticated, slightly smoky edge, grounding the sweetness in something earthy and rich. It's a journey into a sensual, syrupy wonderland, culminating in a smooth, deeply ambered drydown.
