Tropical Gardenia Lucy B for women

All I get is coconut. Lots of coconut. I hate coconut.

Smells pretty much like the name implies: tropical gardenia. Very dewy, which makes it feel very tropical. I don't get any orchid, musk, or woodsy notes, but that could be my chemistry amplifying the gardenia (which would be typical), and I agree with sherapop that it's somewhat linear.

I don't find it sharp (which is amazing, since white florals have a tendency to do me in), but I do find it loud. The sillage is incredible, the longevity impressive, and it feels like a good quality scent.

I should note that in cooler weather, I can easily detect a note of coconut suntanning oil in the background of this fragrance, which I rather enjoy.

Oddly enough, it was only yesterday that I encountered for the very first time a gardenia-champaca-magnolia perfume (Annick Goutal UN MATIN D'ORAGE), and by some sort of cosmic coincidence, I find myself wearing another one today: Lucy B TROPICAL GARDENIA.

The notes revealed in the gushing prose of my carded sample are these:

top: champaca, magnolia
middle: vanilla blossom and honey amber

I gather from the name, and the scent, that gardenia is in here somewhere, too!

TROPICAL GARDENIA is really quite lovely, less sharp and spicy than AG's gardenia-champaca-magnolia, and just a touch sweeter. This is a creamy floral delight, with less gardenia, and more of a tropical vibe. I like this relatively linear creation with medium sillage and decent longevity a lot, and can definitely see acquiring a full bottle under the right circumstances (retail therapy, reckless spending, self-induced amnesia as to the current extent of my collection--the list goes on and on... (-:)

Identic to Royal Hawaiian Plumeria.I love this floral fragrance.
