Monoi

very sweet frangipane/tiare flower when it went on with a little hint of medicinal quality in the drydown but not really eucalyptus or petitgrain, not that herbal; orange blossom, gardenia, tuberose with a little musk and slight woodiness in the base; liked the top and middle better than the drydown, somewhat powdery; I would label this mostly an orange blossom perfum, very pretty for the $10 I paid for it but not worth the $60 it is selling for, EDT burns off fast

I always get compliments on this perfume. Smells like tropical gardenia/coconut/sea notes vibe. Good silage and longevity for a tropical scent. Good value as well.

If you sniff the nozzle, it smells a little like Mugler's Alien Essence Absolue. Even on skin, I think it must have some note in common. It's like a distant relative, perhaps. This is like a bubblegummy tuberose with a slight root beer smell, at least to me. It smells slightly dated, which I don't mind at all. Even at first spray and the first half hour, I don't get any of of the listed top notes. I just smell tuberose and root beer. I do sort of like it though.

Very pretty scent, but I’m disappointed with the sillage. The projection is fairly weak, so this has become something that I only reach for before heading out the door to run errands. Wouldn’t suggest purchasing this at retail price, but not a bad scent to add to your collection if you’re able to get it on sale.

I haven’t even been wearing this for 30 minutes but I will say that it is already an interesting one. It’s definitely not a tropical or beachy monoi. This is soft and very natural and earthy, while strolling through eucalyptus trees and guaiac wood. I personally love eucalyptus so you must like it to enjoy this perfume. I can pick up on the cedar and a little bit of the petitgrain, the vanilla is also soft and natural, and there is a lovely sandalwood in here too. All around, this is a beautiful perfume and it reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t know if it’s a place or a memory that it reminds me of. Edit: I have a bottle of Wicked Wahine coming in the post, and while I have not smelled that before, I sort of imagine it's in the same genre of white florals as Carol's Daughter: the earthier variety.
