Tiare

As Galya said this is a iodate and sea breeze. Much better sea scent than the new one "fiore d'onda" by erbolario. While tiarè is a sweet sea, fiore d'onda stinks (and lasts for hrs!!). Anyway l'erbolario is able to provide beautiful fragrances at a very reasonable price. Well done.

If you love Tahitian Tiare Flower which is a star shaped six petal white gardenia this fragrance is for you. I love it but it's rather powerful and I use it as room spray air freshner. It comes off as exotic like an aroma of Tahiti or Hawaii in spring time. The coconut is a big player and gives it that tropical vibe. The other flowers ylangylang and primrose cyclamen are not big players but they harmonize with the tiare flower. There is gardenia in this fragrance that is not listed but there is a real gardenia here which naturally blends with Tiare. The plum note is sweet. This is a fruity floral scent that dries down with a soft base of vanilla and cedar wood. Even so I would not call this a woodsy scent. The vanilla is the strongest of the base notes and in fact I would say this is a gardenia vanilla. It's delicious. It's a gourmand gardenia. However it seems way too strong for me to wear with my clothes sometimes. The gardenia gives it a lift but it pushes the Tiare in the forefront and it's very strong. I wore it all day for 3 days one week and people assumed I had been growing gardenias at home. This is a gorgeous tropical scent and I know many women that love the Tiare flower in this frag. I have sold this fragrance on ebay. I have a friend in Florida that loves this stuff. This is a fragrance for spring and summer in warm weather climates like the Southern States Florida Georgia South Carolina or Southern California. This is really nice but I don't see it as a perfume. This is room spray. Even the bottle looks like an air freshner.

A few years ago I bought a bottle of this...ehm... perfume! I don't know what I was thinking. Well, I was in a very depressing and boring period of my life, working like a dog in an oppressive and sad office. I had to spend lots of time on an overpacked busline that was killing my nervous system with bad smells. I went to your usual herbal shop and saw this one. One whiff and I was hooked. Probably my poor little brain saw images of seashores in an exotical land and tons of suntan lotion. I bought it on the spot and off I went all giggling. For about 2 days I was happy with it. I used to wear only 1-2 sprays. There was something comforting in this sugared suntan lotion, almost childish comfort. One day I sprayed some more and it smelled so strong and gross. I took the same bus and a few people stared at me annoyed. Hey, guys, what do you stare at? My suntan lotion with sugar is still better than your armpit and shoes! A friend of mine took the same bus and knowing my passion for perfumes asked me: "Pheww... what did you put on this time? It's unbearable!" L'Erbolario Tiarè! And she told me: it smells like plastic and sugar! Mmmm, no, not really plastic to my nose but sugar yes! This is a coat thick 2cm of the veil sugar that you put on Christmas cake and homemade pie, only with a more bitter backsmell, like aspartame on a big synthetic exotic flower. I went on wearing it as a weapon on the bus, until it made me feel sick. Not trashy and not a stink but absolutely sickening, especially after a while and yet can be addictive. I'm not sure that I won't wear it anymore. Sometimes it's just what you need. It last very long on skin and fabrics.

Beautiful and unusual fragrance BUT it lasts only for about one hour.....The company has to change the bottle also. It looks like a room spray-cheaply made.

E' un profumo celestiale...evoca paesaggi esotici come la polinesia,e fa sembrare che sia estate tutto l'anno!!!
