Hawaiian Vanilla

I like it! It's warm and has some freshness to it, on my skin there's a distinct sweet orange or tangerine note too. It can develop a bit of a tropical sunscreen smell but in a good way.

Recently changed my vote on this from "OK" to "Like" after giving it another try. I got a bottle free with an order and found it too tropical and beachy feeling for my tastes the first time I wore it, but now I'm getting a lot more vanilla and a lot less "Hawaiian" from it, and I'm surprising myself by going back to it again and again. It's still a vanilla infused with tropical flavors, to be sure- I still get pineapple and coconut along with it, but mostly as a bright burst in the opening now, followed by a cozy and gourmand-feeling vanilla. Where I got a suntan-lotion vibe from this fragrance the first time I tried it, now I would describe it more like pineapple upside-down cake or some similar dessert. It's not exactly the kind of vanilla I'd typically choose, but it's still vanilla- more so than I could appreciate at first!- and I'm glad I gave it a second chance. Something a little out of character is good for us sometimes. I would actually call this a strong like now. It's reminding me how much I really do dearly love vanilla fragrances when all is said and done.

I think this does have some Gardenia in there. I actually do like it. I am surprised it has several negative reviews. Its not my favorite but I think it's nice. it should read more like Hawaiian flowers + Vanilla. That seems to be more true on my skin. All in all it works great with my chemistry as all the Demeter frag. do.

A nice tropical vanilla. Think car freshener vanillaroma with suntan lotion. I don't know if I detect coconut or gardenia or whatever, but there is "something" other than vanilla. I like it, but not enough to buy, given my already extensive collection of vanilla perfumes.

Sweet and fresh vanilla. It as a slightly tropical vibe, but I cannot say where this comes from as I can't sense any coconut, sunscreen or tropical flowers. But there is something in it that makes it a summer vanilla. Sadly almost zero staying power or projection.
