🎯 Character & Wearability
Vibe & Style:
Heibah has a dual personality: the citrus and flowers give it lightness and freshness, the base gives it richness, warmth and a bit of sweetness.
It leans toward being elegant and somewhat “dressed”, but the citrus top makes it suitable for more casual wear too.
Many users describe it as “clean floral with gourmand depth”. For example:
“This is a very bright, summery floral girly‑girl scent… I can see how it could be quite cloying if you went heavy on it.”
Best Occasions & Seasons:
Good for daytime wear, especially in spring/summer thanks to the fresh opening.
With its sweet and woody base, it transitions well into evenings or cooler weather.
Because the base is quite rich, if you live in a very hot/humid climate (like Windhoek, Namibia) you might want to apply it moderately so it doesn’t become too heavy.
Performance (Longevity & Sillage):
According to Fragrantica, longevity is about 3.31 / 5 and sillage about 2.22 / 4.
Some users report satisfactory lasting on clothes, though others say it performs more modestly on skin.
“Lasts around 6 hrs on my clothes… modest on skin.”
Because performance varies, consider your climate and how many sprays you apply.
