Tiare

I recently bought this at the Saks Fifth Avenue in the Galleria Mall in Houston and I'm just in love with it! This fragrance is so smooth, white floral, feminine and non-cloying. I don't think that it would offend anyone, to be honest. Tiare by Chantecaille has a very easy and breezy summer time vibe and I could imagine it being great to wear at the beach or at a nice party by the beach during the day, being something that you could wear either while dressed up or especially dressed down. It could be worn in the spring time too for sure, but it is definitely more a summer time fragrance. The notes of the reformulated version are actually now mate leaves, tiare flower, bergamot, orange blossom, mimosa, ylang ylang, heliotrope, woods, amber and vanilla. I only get a hint of the green notes at the start, but I'd say that this perfume is definitely more about the tiare flower in all of its soft and sunny glory. The mimosa is then the next most prominent to me, followed by the heliotrope and then the woods. I smell a hint of orange blossom too, but not much. And then the other notes just blend into the composition, being undetectable to my particular nose and sense of smell. Wear time was a solid 7 and a half hours on my skin and I got a moderate sillage from this perfume. The bottle of Tiare is beautiful too, just like the other fragrances by Chantecaille. The bottle is made of clear glass and has a beautiful strip of floral design on the front and the cap of the battle looks like a crystal ball from a chandelier. The only downside for me is that this fragrance is slightly overpriced for what it is, though I do have to say that it smells very high quality, naturalistic and not at all artifical smelling. It is still mostly worth the money though and for all of these reasons, I'd give Tiare by Chantecaille and 8.6/10. Just beautiful! I only wish that Frangipane was available to buy too, since I loved that fragrance even more than this one.

Chantecaille Tiare is NOT a sweet Gardenia by any means & I love where it takes me..an island life I once lived and enjoyed... This Tiare by Chantecaille wears for several hours on my skin. Blends like magic with Sacred Wild Divine's (Aromatherapist Vanessa shoppe on Etsy) with her "Nectar", "Love", "Rose Water" and "Midnight Jasmine" Natural Perfume oil blends... Have been realigning with my original Holistic background versus the Synthetic side of the perfume world and am seeking out perfume companies that have been going in the more natural realm. Through my background of Holistic studies and living a more Mediterranean lifestyle I have been clearing my body care products, perfume collections etc back to a more Natural Alchemist Botanically made life. So Viva la natural to Essential oils, Flower compounds, Hydrosol's etc... Still learning and relearning but be it known that the perfume industry is misleading and lying to us and that the synthetic's are major hormone disruptor's among many other elements in our environment which everyone is becoming wide awake on. Thank you Jana Blankenship of "Wild Beauty" which in turn introduced me to Mandy Aftel of "Essence and Alchemy" A Natural History of Perfume Revised Edition 2022 Also, Robin Wall Kimmerer of "Braiding Sweetgrass". And ... Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami "An Atlas of Natural Beauty ". Thanks for (if still here) my long winded review.

I completely agree with ChiKitty's review of this perfume, which fits with my experience of it as a beautiful white tropical floral. I also love your description of "catching the scent of a nearby garden from the balcony of a Hawaiian resort" - exactly! Would also (see ChiKitty and kimberleylizkenn) not classify it as an oriental; a glorious cloud of heady white florals. I tried a sample and am definitely going to buy - I love this perfume! On my skin, long-lasting and moderate sillage.

I could tell I smell lily of the valley right away, it makes tiare smell so much classier, there is no usual pungency of the tropics. The scent reminds me of Cavatina by Dusita a lot. I would even say this is more lily of the valley perfume than it is a tiare perfume. I was smelling this with my friend and we both noticed the same thing. Softly soapy, classy, elegant, natural, beautiful smelling white floral combinaton. Could be bridal.

Spectacular, a garden of white fresh flowers. My friend and I snagged a few squirts at the Chantecaille counter in the TST Sogo store in Hong Kong. Intensely beautiful and feminine. There’s no shampoo or cigarette smoke that we could discern, although I understand how fragrances smell so different to different people. It was ridiculously expensive at the store, around AUD$285 for 75 mls, so we will be hunting for an online bargain.
