Kauai Pikake

Does not smell like Youth Dew or Ciara. I own both. Sorry just no. This is a pretty woody jasmine. The woody notes are very pronounced, but they do not take anything away from the clean and slightly powdery jasmine. Nothing indolic here as it is jasmine sambac which is very abundant in Hawaii. I get a slight champaca note here as well. This smells like jasmine, champaca, blowing in the ocean breeze combined w/ a driftwood note. If you want a jasmine perfume that is not indolic and is quite woody, which in my opinion cuts down some of the huge floral aspects of the jasmine this is a good way to go. I can see a man wearing this jasmine perfume. It is very woody. I'm getting cedar, driftwood, a crunchy Australian sandalwood. The citruses are slight. The aquatic qualities are slight, a slight saltiness. A woody, clean, salty jasmine.

Have a very different response than what these other two have experienced-! Jasmine and wood project heavily on me, so while this certainly has a tropical white flower perspective (frangipiani, champa flower) it has a decided cola and civet note that makes it feel very vintage and heavy. Not unpleasant-! Just more "Autumn in the tropics".

Light and pleasant watery jasmine with light citrus notes. Worth checking out for someone looking for a subtle white floral.

very unpleasant odor. On rod: I got a bad rubbery odor and tea like jasmine hint underneath. On hand: the rubbery odor turn to something even more unpleasant, I don’t even know how to describe it. The tea like Jasmine hint is noticeable, but not enough to compensate that bad odor.
