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 Resin. Hiram Green's Slowdive carries an Acquired verdict, a white 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.

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.

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.
