Fiji Paradise

This is suprisingly strong. Especially for a coconut scent. It has to be the most long lasting one that i have ever tried. Reminds me of Mark Instant Vacation spray (the original discontinued one) but without the chlorine. If you like that i would recommend getting this because i have both but do like the added chlorine type note in Instant Vacation better. Instant Vacation is now hard to find and costly. Plus it is a spray mist so it may turn any day now like all of Mark's other fragrances in his instant vaca line. I was in love with coconut perfumes for a very long time but have ended up with so many that i no longer desire them when they are so linear. I do not get very much,if any,lotus which has become one of my favorite accords in spring & summer scents. There must be a lot of musk supporting the tiare & coconut due to it's intense sillage and longevity. I only layer this as a base for my other light summer scents. I love the color of the liquid. If it is layered on top of something else Fiji always squashes all the molecules in any other perfume i have tried.

Fiji Paradise is mild airy coconut scent. If I hadn’t read the notes here, I would have guessed coconut and ylang ylang. Very simple and soft, and has a freshness to it that I don’t usually associate with coconut. Not so much a suntan lotion smell, but more of breezy coconut, as if you smell it in the air combined with flowers.

I smell more of a soft tropical breezy coconut smell. Very faint floral notes, more aquatic. I'm not huge on coconut but this isn't to overwhelming. Good for a summer day but not much more.

I still have a bottle of this. I loved it so much and wore it all the time. I now have Maison margiela Beach walk which to me smells identical even side by side

Now I remember why I liked this on my friend but never got it for myself. It's pretty but kind of boring. I don't get the plastic smell others talk about but rather a cocoa butter body soap. I layered it with Near Dusk by Jennifer Aniston and it is beautiful together. Alone: Longevity: about 5 hour Sillage: little further than arms length but not too much further. With Near Dusk Longevity: 8 hours Sillage: about 6 feet

I had this and found it was IDENTICAL to Avon's earlier fragrance "Tahitian Holiday" (of which I have a few bottles, it's quite lovely)....so if this one is easier to find and you loved that one (which is long discontinued), they are IDENTICAL. :) I ended up giving it to a friend since I already have so many Tahitian Holiday. EDIT: I must have had more than one bottle...because I found it in my perfume cupboard this morning. So, yay! wearing it today! :)

Based on the listed notes, you would think that this is a tropical fruity floral. Not true...it is more of a beachy, sandy aquatic. Best compared to CSP Aqua Motu, Lily Pulitzer Beachy, Demeter Salt Air or Yves Rocher Retropical. Marketed for women, but I feel men could wear, too.

Would be the perfect layering fragrance for Bath and BodyWorks' Caribbean Escape lotion which claims pineapple, casaba melon, and coconut as its notes. Smells so similar and lovely! Perfect for a summer night out after lounging by the pool (under and umbrella of course).

Starts out very beachy and salt air like and then segues into a sweet coconut type scent. Pretty and beachy.

I wish i could smell this...all my fave notes in one frag!
