Indonesian perfumes are having a moment – here are 7 fragrance brands that should be on your radar

For the record, the brand name is pronounced as “humans” even though the vowels are omitted. This is a quirk that extends to its best-selling scent, Orgsm.

Despite its provocative moniker, the scent is not designed to evoke naughty thoughts. It was simply created from the idea of ​​combining three of the world’s most popular floral perfumery notes, which, according to Hmns, are rose, peony and jasmine (the name came as an afterthought). Combined with notes of apple and vanilla bean, the fruity-floral scent radiates a warm and sweet quality, instead of the animalistic notes that tend to be associated with “sexy” scents.

Orgsm’s success has since inspired the creation of a second version, Darker Shade of Orgsm, which projects a more sensual vibe with pepper, amber, patchouli, cedar wood and sandalwood. There are many more scents at Hmns to explore besides these, ranging from light florals to the complex, earthy and woody.

Available on Shopee.
