Tommy Bahama Tommy Bahama for women

I did not like this. It smells powdery,soapy and cheap.

Tommy Bahama is hit or miss. This one was a miss. I own both the SSSBs, and they are absolutely lovely (the men's version being my favorite cologne for a man to wear, ever). I bought this thinking I'd love it since I drooled over SSSB so much. I was wrong, and returned it the next day. Smells generic, and something about it smelled "off" to me.

at first too strong of a stinker! then about 10 minutes later that is if you survive that without scrubbing your wrists, it mellows slightly and it smells cheap. i smell strong green notes which i mostly like, but in here with other fruity notes it's yuck. i was hoping it smelled beachy but I get none of that in here. It is strong and cloying oldcore scent.

I have grown very fond of Tommy Bahama. Notice how I used the word "grown"? This one takes time to understand. It seems some fragrances are like red wine, and need to breath. This would mean a few sprays for TB to aerate. I pick up the clementine in the top note, which never completely fades, but can we also be honest about the pineapple? It's ok- pineapple rocks and is totally tropical. I'm glad others mentioned the honeysuckle, because I wasn't able to put a finger on it. The dry-down on my skin is an earthy medley of seaweed/palm/rainforest. This fragrance settles to a compromise of the aforementioned notes, with maybe a whisper of Hawaiian wedding flower and/or hibiscus? Reminds me of my travels to Brasil and Hawaii. Delightful!

not great- it smells like suntan lotion- save $20 & buy suntan lotion

tried this yesterday at marshalls. i didnt care for it. its very sweet and fake smelling. its like a plastic coconut floral. i got no citrus at all. i was disappointed, i was expecting something nicer. even after it dried it really didn't smell good on me, it just didn't smell as sweet. it also smelled like i was wearing some kind of imposter perfume. not good.

the pretty bottle is the best part. the scent is ok. nothing special. i expected more of a beachy smell...but it's more of just a pretty aquatic smell.. almost colognish. staying power is ok..you might have to reapply 4 hours later. i do recommend it for no more than $25.

This smells just like a hair product I put on before straightening it. I don't mind this so much, however, I'd rather leave this beachy-suntan oil type of smell to hair products and not perfumes.

I love the opening note of the clementine, which is a cross between an orange and a mandarin. It's a sweet distinctive scent, that is not really orangy, but uniquely it's own. The cactus note sweetens it up further. I'm just now getting a faint whiff of honeysuckle and a slight woodsy scent. For me this is a tropical delight. Sweet but also refreshing. It's not like the Escada scents and it does NOT smell like any of Estee Lauder's, (which are sour to me). I think icekat's review below says it all better than I can. I've bought so many crappy ones lately without smelling them first and when I bought this without smelling it, I was really nervous. I am so relieved, as I love, love it. This is really one of the best ones I have gotten lately.

TOMMY BAHAMA starts with a fresh burst of the sweet citrus. I feel all three players here: bergamot adds fresh sharp note, clementine adds zest and cactus adds sweetness. After the fresh burst, the honeysuckle appears. It is followed by gentle tuberose. The frangipani is not very strong. I could barely detect it. The scent transforms very quickly into what appears to me watered down florals. The heart notes remind me of an ocean breeze that carries honeysuckle and tuberose scents from the distance. I even at times feel a hint of salty waters here. Not sure why. Perhaps it is the wood scent that mingles with the heart notes. In the base notes the musk combines nicely with the nectarine. I love how it gives the dry-down creamy and sweet scent.

I would not consider this a tropical scent. For me the tropical scent should have one of those: exotic tropical fruits, sweet honey-like tropical flowers or gourmet tropical drinks. But it does remind me of an ocean and it has this cool fresh touch that I do like. This could be enjoyable in the hot weather outside. After the initial fresh burst the scent stays very light and close to the skin. The base notes do last for 6-7 hours.

i found it very similar to another fragrance bu t i didn't know what it was , till now. it's very very similar to estee lauder's pleasures exotic, just a bit sharper with some more agressive top notes. the ones that like pleasures exotic can easely go for this one. they are both pleasant but have the same old problem: i just can't feel the fruit anywhere, frustrating...

My sister has this one so I had a chance to sample it. Didn't like it at all.

oh, and the packaging is very nice and stylish, and the bottle also, i like the way it fills my hand when i'm holding it (the 3.4 fl.oz)

i just got this one without smelling it.
i should have listened to the reviewes. it's such a sharp floral that it's almost intoxicating at first and then it becomes a soft vanilla floral. i guess it has the tropical in it but in a flower kind of way. i see this beeing enjoyed by a group of senior ladies goind on a hawaii trip. also i would recomend this one to very elegant mature women. my humble self though, i think i will give this to my mom and will be anxiously waiting for very cool and st. barts. maby someone would be so nice to give me some hints on how the last one smells, thanks.

It smells like cheap drugstore cologne. I find it very unpleasant and can't see why somebody buys this, as it is priced not as low as one could expect.

This Tommy Bahama scent was not a favorite of mine. I expected it to have a more "vacation" scent and was disappointed. My recommendations go with St. Barts and Very Cool.

I have to say that I like Tommy Bahama.The opening note is a very subtle citrus, after about 20 minutes the floral notes come to the fore. You can detect the tuberose and honeysuckle, the fragnipani is not as pronounced. The drydown is definitely woody with a light hint of musk, the nectarine gives a lightness to the wood and the musk, making this a pretty fragrance.

It's not a 'tropical' fragrance. It truly is what the description says--a floral woody musk. This reminds me of one of those classic fragrances like Oscar de la Renta or Ysatis, you know, something from the mid-80's. Classy, fresh, floral, and slightly soapy. I would recommend this for the fall as I can see it being a little too much for the spring or summer. Overall, I give it a 7 out of 10.

I do get a tropical tone to this one. Coconut, maybe even closer to marshmallow which must be from the cactus flower and frangipani. I've been told it smells "yummy" (not by a guy unfortunately) so is a definate gourmand scent. It reminds me of ambrosia fruit salad. I don't pick up any wood notes at all.
A definate summer scent, but may be good in winter to remind you of sunny days.
Good for casual wear, but not a "take me seriously" scent.

I wasn't impressed by any of the Tommy Bahama scents. I believe if you're going to name a perfume after a specific place then it should actually smell like it, yes? Though this fragrance does have somewhat of a "tropical" feel....that's all it is. There are a number of "tropical" smelling fragrances...but they don't necessarily remind me of those places. They just remind me of a tropical fruit salad. I'm still waiting to be "wowwed" by a tropical-smelling perfume. So far, the closest I can get to Hawaii is Diesel Plus for Women. It reminds me of what I smell as soon as they open the doors of a plane in Hawaii....that fresh tropical air, island flowery breeze, crisp fruit, and lush green trees & green palms smell.... Tommy Bahama didn't do anything for me, sorry to say.

I had Tommy Bahama Very Cool, St.Barts and Tommy Bahama. This one is the better of all three in my opinion. I liked St. Barts when I tried a sample, but later on it smelled very masculine when I applied it later. Vey Cool was okay but nothing spectacular, but this is a very pleasant and beautiful scent.

This is my fave of all the Tommy Bahama scents. After the top notes, the tuberose and frangipani really stand out. After a recent trip to Hawaii, having tuberose and frangipani leis, this brings back wonderful memories, and very authentic to the actual flowers. This perfume is a perfect companion to the locally made Tuberose body butter that I got in Maui!

It seems like I smell grapefruit too, even though it isn't in the description.

I disagree that the bottle is ugly. It has a peach color with a beautiful iridescent finish. I've been looking for a nice Tuberose scent, and this one is a keeper.

The Olfactive Group Floral Woody Musk was the first thing that attracted me to this perfume when i saw it in the base.. so i went looking and found it online, the price looks very promissing but i never had the chance to order it. Still, now im kinda disappinted reading your comments.. also, the bottle looks very nice on the photos.. shame shame

I liked this at first spray but then it turned into Marc jacobs blush and I HATE that perfume!They smell so similar and Tommy Bahama is overpriced and the bottles are ugly and plain and cheap looking!

The two Tommy Bahama scents I have tried (this one and Very Cool) were both very watery and underwhelming and seemed to have hardly a scent at all, other than flavored water. There's not much else I could say about. I thought it was boring, so now I'm encouraged to try it on my skin next time I come across it.

I wasn't overly impressed with this... it smells kind of like something my mother would wear... I get the citrus and it's a very warm scent but I just can't seem to bring myself to like it.
