Opens with a blast of coconut so sweet it borders on suntan lotion, tempered by ylang-ylang's creamy, almost rubbery floralcy. The tiare flower—gardenia's Polynesian cousin—announces itself as a hybrid: part soap, part tropical lei, part vintage solar accord. It's louder than most white florals, unapologetically synthetic in the way early 2000s musks often were.
As it settles, vanilla and sandalwood smooth the edges without fully taming them. The coconut never retreats; instead it becomes the structural pillar around which everything else drapes. There's a milky, monoi-oil quality that persists for hours, clinging close to skin with surprising tenacity for something so bright.
Best suited to those who want their florals delivered at full volume, or anyone nostalgic for the high-octane gourmands that defined mid-2000s perfumery. Unsubtle, enduring, and uninterested in contemporary minimalism.
