Aloha Tiare by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

I always get noticed and I am given compliments when I wear this perfume for me it is best worn on a hot day as the notes just all develop.

This is not lush and exotic. It is completely what I didn't think it would be: an utter disgrace of a scent that can only be described as a stuffy nose causing allergy that invokes one to vomit.

I can't believe it's from 1975 (though in basenotes it's 'in one' with 'tiare' and there's year 1974, so it seems there was another version before, also according to CSP site there notes are different)!

It doesn't smell old fashioned. At last I've found that mystery perfume I was wanting since I was ten or something. It wasn't quite this (this has more sugarsweetness and that other had citruses tangled in it so the sweetness was more wearable), but I'm sure it was other brand imitating this one or alikes (if there are ones).

At first spray it's very strong and there's something like pepper for a minute or so that made me sneeze.

It quickly turns perfect and very sweet enjoyable floral, exotic scent. I feel frangipani I think, it gives the sweetness... In my opinion this is very sultry sweet one, sometimes it's evil, especially benzoin I think. It would be more perfect if they'd add some more citrus to it- say, lime...

Lasting power is excellent and sillage is great, this fragrance sticks to nose when you sniff it from paper and you can feel it while you're breathing.

Also there's a very special note in it- papyrus. It's very distinct and you will find it in such perfumes like Dzongkha and especially Timbuktu.

Notes (from CSP site):
Top note: Lemon, Bergamot, Papyrus.
Heart note: Baie Rose, Violet Leaf.
Base note: Patchouly, Filaowood, Amber, white Musc.
P.S. If it failed when you tried it during summer or hot day (due to top note) try it again in cold day.

Absolute perfection of flowers and coconut. Simply simple and reminds me or my younger years growing up playing on the beaches of Florida.

Absolutly HATED this one!!! I did not get the coconut at all. Smelled like something a much older lady would wear.

A beautiful and exotic scent, coconut blends perfect with Tiare, makes it carnal and gourmand
