Lionel Richie Hello by Lionel Richie is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Clément Gavarry and Dora Baghriche. Hello by Lionel Richie opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Grapefruit, and Mint, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Lionel Richie's Hello by Lionel Richie carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a dated, generic scent, while others rate it a sexy crowd-pleaser and a solid bargain. If you like classic fresh profiles, this could be your jam, but don't expect groundbreaking originality or beast-mode performance.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it versatile for casual and everyday wear, with many finding it a crowd-pleaser that could work for dates. However, its perceived lack of strength and originality might not suit formal settings, and its performance as an EDT means it's not ideal for sports where you need something robust.

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
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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 zesty, bright burst of grapefruit and bergamot, given an intriguing edge by bitter orange and cool mint. The heart introduces a soft, leafy violet alongside aromatic lavender and a cosy cashmeran warmth. It settles into a smooth, modern base of earthy vetiver and patchouli, amplified by the clean, diffusive hum of ambroxan.
