Tahitian Holiday

Ok, I have been looking for something like this for a while now. I have even tried some niche perfumes hoping that one of them would give me the illusion of the `coconut-beach-palm trees` feeling and here we go, I have found it in an Avon-scent! It just arrived today . So airy, subtle and light. Smells like coconut - but not in a sugary, gourmand way, this is far from the usual vanilla-coconut that you might expect. TH is a very nice coconut-flesh scent softened with tropical tiare flower and a hint of jasmin. Simple, but it works. I have never had a chance to visit a tropical place but this little EDT does the job - I am suddenly transported to faraway shores, palm trees and sandy beaches, grass skirts, coconut crush drinks with straws. Beautiful!!! I just wish that this holiday could last longer. Longevity: 3-4 hours on my skin and sillage is moderate but is definitely there. Tahitian Holiday will definitely accompany me on my upcoming beach holiday!!! Sadly not to the South Pacific though.

Reminds me a little of Calgon's great body mist, Hawaiian Ginger and VS Very Sexy Now Beach. Young and summery and simple and clean -- salty coconut with a hint of fresh musk. The monoi is not overdone. I get charged up by these simple scents in the winter and sometimes wear this to bed. I am on the lookout for shower gel -- is there even one? Can be had cheaply and doesn't smell like your typical Avon scent. How did I ever miss this? The bottle is cheerful too. Nicely done, Avon, even though you had to start testing on animals again, didn't ya, after being one of the original leaders in this area.

I adore this perfume. It's definitely a summer type fragrance. It really reminds me of being on a hot tropical beach, bathed in tanning oil. I wear this religiously come summer time and it makes me happy, every time I wear it. It's heavy on the coconut fragrance, but there a slight floral to it that reminds me of tropical flowers on the breeze. I love this so much that I"m on my second big bottle and already half way through that one! I hope they never discontinue this one! It's a winner for sure!

Omg, YUM!!! What a hidden gem! If you love coconut but hate sugary synthetic coconut that is everywhere these days, this is for you! It's a light, slightly marine, slightly green, and very natural (surprisingly) coconut milk scent. I know it will sound crazy to compare to such an expensive scent, but to me, this does to coconut what Malle's carnal flower does to tuberose. A MUST HAVE for those who like their coconut to smell like it's fresh off the tree :)

The fact that I really love the coconut scent makes this amazing. Truly it reminds me of summer when I was growing up and we'd go to the creek or the rare occasion the beach and we'd use the coconut scented sun screen, I loved that smell and this reminds me of that. I recommend this scent, but strongly caution you if you have a problem with coconut, that is the dominating scent, but it's GREAT.

Loved this, bought many, MANY bottles of it so I never ran out, as I LOVE coconut scents. But disappointingly it never last long, so I would go through a lot of it. If it lasted then this would be my all time fave perfume ever, but it has been easily replace with Harajuku lovers G with its sweet coconut scent and lasts waaaaay longer than tahitian holiday. So 'G' is my new perfume love.

non ancora in ferie, indosso un profumo di vacanze. è uno scherzo, un gioco: aria di mare, cocco e tiarè. come stare sulla spiaggia spalmandosi l'olio solare. breve persistenza, quello sì, ma da un'acqua così economica ed estiva non si può chiedere di più. coraggio, cardiano, qualche giorno ancora e poi si stacca!

Wauw this is a holiday fragrance alright! Like Cisco said it is a natural Coco fragrance, with extreme staying power and sillage. Where I found Bath & Bodyworks Exotic Coconut WAY over the top and not natural smelling, this perfume does live up to the promise. Thank you Orchidlover, for this wonderful perfume!!

I don't even usually like the smell of coconut or sweet perfumes but this was great. Once I smelled it in the Avon magazine, I was hooked. Super sexy, especially when you're at the beach. I'd always spray some of the hair mist in my hair and.. OH LAWRDY, I'd feel happy. Lasts a while too. 8/10

I love it. All Avon perfumes seems to smell the same, but this one stands out. It's different, it's sweet and coconuty. Sad part is that it doesn't last long since it's eau de toilette. But it's still amazing, i love it, perfect for summer.

A delicious coconut mojito. I was way too young to be wearing this as a child, but I remember it so fondly. Tropical, sweet, fresh coconut with a hint of lime. I wish I could smell like this all the time.

I love this and wore it all the time as a teen. I still have a bottle of this and it still smells as it did all those years ago, I now also have Maison margiela beach walk and find them identical

i only had the body mist and even it smelled awesome. it is great for beach or feeling like on the beach when ure at home. im sure all the mediterreneaners would love it.

Yum! Coconut lovely! If you are a coconut fan then this is a good one for your collection. This smells like the beach in a bottle! Vanilla Coconutty-licious!

I love this scent from Avon, the coconut stands out alot. sorry they discontinued it. Bring it back Avon

I love using this on a bleak autumn or winter day. Instant summer. It makes me happy.

Oh and I forgot, this is not a floral perfume. This is a spicy gourmand to my nose!

It was the best summer fragrance i have ever had. Sadly it is no longer available.

As I love Summery coconutty sun tan lotion smells, I have this, Yves Rocher Monoi eau des vahines and a bottle of Jovan Island Musk in my collection. Out of the three Avon Tahitian Holiday is my least favourite. I almost really love the smell but it does have a very annoying underlying synthetic smell that is a bit off putting. However it was also the cheapest of the three. I am happy to wear it, but it is nothing as powerful, coconutty, Summery and natural as Yves Rocher Monoi Eau Des Vahines, which is my Summer favourite. It has a very similar vibe though and reminds me of it a lot. Island Musk is more flowery and not coconutty but is still a very lovely white floral musky light Summery smell that I like a lot. Avon Tahitian Holiday I only just like... it sits in between the two others in terms of notes which is why I mention them both here, with the addition of the musk. All three are such great Summer budget buys, they all make you dream of lying in the hot sun, ever so slighlty sunburnt, with your turquoise bikini, palm trees swaying in the breeze, cocktail in hand and the gentle sound of crashing waves in the background... All three are very dreamy and exotic. If you love Monoi, and Island Musk and are looking for another Summer cheapie you will probably like this too. If you already own this, and like it, I'd recommend going for Yves Rocher Monoi next time as you will most likely be blown away by it as I was!

Sun kissed skin with a slight red sun burn glow, a few freckles on the nose making their annual summer appearance. Tahitian Holiday is the perfect perfume for sun worshiping by the pool, on the lake, or on a beach holiday or day cation. This is that beach-type tropical vacation blend. If you are looking for something that wears in a simple, pure, clean way - with a more simplistic version of Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess, THIS IS IT! There is a part of me that really loves this. If I had have come across this when I was in junior high or early high school, this would most definitely have been one of my spring/summer perfumes. This is very close to the smell of the leading tan oil that I remember when on vacation in Hawaii - The name of that tanning oil was Wiki Wiki Tan Tan - and it was truly fabulous! This is not bad with my chemistry, although slightly a more natural, casual type genre than I typically wear. This may be a great perfume to layer with other perfumes that are along this same line. I will have to try that.

The first time I smelt this perfume it was on a patient in a Doctors waiting room, and I remember saying to a friend 'Where's that gorgeous smell coming from, it smells like summer holidays on the beach' well I was jabbering on for a good 10 minutes about how divine it was, and I then spotted a Lady smiling and she whispered its my perfume its by Avon. By speaking to an Avon representative I found out it was called Tahitian Holiday but only available during Summer, Summer came, brochure came out and TWO bottles were purchased I didn't want to run out off it until the following year. I adore this perfume, its a Summer perfume though I have on occasion worn it in the cold months to reminisce the warmer weather. If you don't like the smell of coconut oil, give it a miss because the smell of Coconut is very intense. <3 <3 <3

This reminds me of just about every beach holiday I've ever been on. It's an exact smell-a-like for Hawaiian Tropic Suntan Oil with a hint of floral - which is another smell to add to the holiday memories. All they need to do now is add an eau-de-bbq note and I'm back in the Med! I adore this perfume, I use it mainly as a sleep perfume as it's such a relaxing smell for me, I'm back in the sun, baking myself on a lounger with a lovely breeze to keep me cool and the sun is too bright to open my eyes. This one, for me, isn't a perfume, it's a perfect memory.

Coconut-y and floral (tiare) plus lots of musk that adds a certain 'cool' base to the perfume. It is not a foody coconut at all and quite a good product for a company like Avon. Doesn't last an aweful long but you can definitely smell it for 2-3 hours. If you prefer something truly coconut-y bordering on extremely gourmand I would recommend Comptoir Sud Pacific Coco Extreme. By the way, I too do not find Tahitian Holiday related to any of the Bronze Godesses.

I smelt this on a friend and thought it smelt lovely and reminded me of holidays. I ended up purchasing this when it was on offer. It smells fine when it is first sprayed, if not a bit strong. It then dries down to a plastic-y chemically smell on my skin, which does not smell at all of coconut anymore. It can also be quite overpowering. I have to say I rarely reach for this.

This is a nice coconut fragrance for a good price tag. Doesn't have great longevity and it's something I spritz after using coconut products in the bath before towel drying. I recently bought Lolita Lempicka Elle L'aime and it reminds me of this but with citrus. I refer this. Nice for a summer day or to wear around the house or when you don't want to use expensive perfumes.

This perfume would be my ideal summer perfume if it lasted longer (1 hour on my skin tops!). It comes on VERY synthetic and cheap in the beginning, which irritates me and makes me sneeze. When it dries down it is gorgeous (Hawaian Tropicy if you're into that), but unfortunately I can't enjoy it for too long. I don't think this is worth repurchasing and that saddens me.

In the bottle it smelled like instant vacation and I was so exited since instant vacation is discontinued and it's a favorite of mine, but once I actually tried it on it's not like IV at all. It's basically just coconut and it's a bit to strong for me. Not a bad scent, not really offensive just nothing special you may as well get some coconut hand lotion.

If you love coconuts, you will love this. I love coconuts in my scents so I am a big fan. It does have a slightly plasticky note but that does fade after a time, afterwards you can just smell the coconutty goodness. It's a perfect beach scent. Also very long lasting which pleasantly surprised me.

This is vacation on a bottle. A beachy, carefree frag. The coconut is the main star on this one, which make it perfect for a day at the beach or to take along to a vacation for day ware. I agree it doesn't last long but it's pretty inexpensive, you can reapply worry free.

Coconut! Woah! I got it as a gift, let me tell you... It smells like the coconut from those almond joys. With a touch of sunscreen. I am totally ready for summer weather. Update: I took a bath, scrubbed and to my surpise, it lingered slightly! Love

This is definitely mislabeled as floral, its coconut through and through. Its also quite a strong scent so u really do only need a little spray. On a hot summer night somewhere exotic its perfect, or maybe just close your eyes and imagine it......

Not really what i was expecting but a lovely perfume anyway, I thought it would be more fruity for some reason. A good one for summer days. It goes really well with Avons new perfume miami party, which i hope is on fragrantica soon!

Perfect for the spring/summer. Not as fruity as some of the other summer scents out there, it's a coconut tanning scent with a hint of a powdery note. Lazy summer day out in the garden? THIS is what you want.

I bought this on a whim because of the Tiare but all I get is Coconut. Its pleasant and I like it...... but only to spray on my bathroom towels!

This smells lovely. I smell mostly coconut, but it sometimes has a plastic smell to it. The price is good and it's great for summer.

This was ok. Very tropical and enjoyable but I just felt it was missing somehting. It does not have the best staying power either.

This smells simalar to Harajuku Lovers G...only this has a more aquatic note

I'm wearing this today and i feel as if i am on a tropical beach. so yummy

Random buy, cheap and cheerful. Smelled nice but never lasted for long.

I think the musk is the most noticable of all the notes.

I really wanted to love this perfume. I bought it and couldnt wait for it to arrive. I was was imagining creamy sweet coconut and tiare flower with a faint hint of beach and suncream. I had hoped I would close my eyes and be whisked away to a beach in paradise. Unfortunately all I got was very strong suncream (stronger than my actual suncream) and an unpleasant synthetic smell I just can't put my finger on.I couldn't smell any coconut or tiare flower :( Clearly it has some fab reviews so perhaps it works differently on different peoples body chemistry. Mine went to the charity shop and I hope someone stumbled across a bargain of one of their favourites that works well for them.

I was so looking forward to own this perfume as I was keen on the coconut bit. What can I say.. I got it and it doesn't smell of coconut on me at all. It smells sharp, unpleasant, flowery and something else chemical and it burns on my skin, probably due to the high alcohol content. I will try and sell it again as it is not what I expected at all.

It's ok, not my thing really. Has a strange note in there I do not like. Does smell like summer and the beach - I think it reminds me of tanning lotion in a way. My 5 year old daughter adores it though and regularly douses herself in it since I gave it to her (she is spoiled and has a few fragrances she keeps with mommies large collection)

I'm guessing that this was trying to be EL's Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche, and it did a decent job of it. Unfortunately, I don't like this or Bronze Goddess. Smells kind of messy, I don't get any coconut like others have mentioned, just a little sweetness and... to my horror... urine!!!

Suntan lotion, coconut and fruits...excellent for summer but this is one that can give me a headache (and I wear really strong fragrances like Angel). I wear this if I'm going to go out doing yardwork or cutting the grass because it really does last and last!

U know that smell that your skin has after sunbathing all day and pouring sun tan lotion on while jumping in salt watter every now and then...yup...thats what this smells like. U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

my mother have this perfume, and to tell you the truth i'm not keen on this fragrance..:s it's too coconut for me..VERY COCONUT!!

Very, very sweet summer scent! Must be a coconut lover to wear this. Doesn't last long but its ok for the price.

I love coconut scents, but I hate this perfume. Very synthetic, and flowery....I ended up throwing it out.

I have it, but it's not what I thought... Boring, simple, irritating - no mood for this.
