Pink Frangipani

this is a wonderful summer time scent!! so if you are thinking about buying it, you def should, If you love floral scents that arent too crazy this one is it.. I love mine :)

This was love at first smell. The opening is a dead ringer for Avon's "Hawaiian White Ginger" -- sweet, creamy, sunny, and exotic. A great "fun" scent for the summer.

I actually bought Lucy B's BEACH WAVES FRANGIPANI as a hair mist and roll on body oil set at Costco last year. So this delicious scent may be different from the PINK FRANGIPANI bottle shown above. There is a definite aquatic, oceanic sort of scent in the BEACH WAVES version. You get hit with a sweet musky odor as well like overripe pineapple, crushed tiare blossoms gathered into crowns and necklaces for the children to wear on their heads, now beginning to decay on the steaming ground after being tossed aside and trampled underfoot by a horde of perspiring tourists. But all that funk is really natural and maybe a bit hippie and not yucky or anything like that. Just enough to really make everything pop and the whole thing just screams summer. All in all a strong and yummy scent. Perfect for those that like to turn heads. That very slight funky note keeps things from being completely innocent. Alluring and sexy but not too serious. Just fun. This is one I just love to smell even though I rarely wear it. I have more impressive perfumes. Serious fragrances that make me seem a little more professional, or mature, or sexy... Actually I just have a ton of delicious perfumes that smell exactly like sexy cookies, candies, and frappuccinos... Who am I kidding? I am not sophisticated. But really this one though not a gourmand just makes me smile. A true smelly pleasure. If Tom Ford Soleil Blanc takes you to the elitist French Riviera with its chic little inns and impossibly sophisticated, lipstick wearing, coconut tanning oil scented sun worshippers... then Beach Waves Frangipani is the family friendly California Coast with its laidback surfer dudes and all them pretty young thangs with their sun bleached manes and short shorts. Another comparable scent is Kai. Both have that delicious natural gardenia. Kai is much better for a real gardenia that is just perfect. A favorite and not overpowering. One of the best in my opinion. Lucy B's Frangipani takes that gardenia, still natural and wonderful and creates a very nice scent memory by adding with the ocean scent, the coconut sun tan lotion scent, and some sweet, heavy notes as well. Love the sea salt hairspray which works amazingly well as volumize natural hair especially if you work out or get out in the heat and work up a bit of a sweat. I am pleased with this set. And surprisingly the scent has not turned after even a year in a fairly bright storage location. I would suggest keeping this somewhat naturally scented product in the dark however.

If you've ever had the opportunity to smell a red frangipani this scent is indeed indicative of it. The red flower is very different from the white most of us know and love. And I do wish Lucy B would come out with the white version so common in leis, because it would be a fabulous improvement on many if it rang as true as this one to the original flower. Indeed there is a note of coconut in the beginning, which is quickly overcome by a floral "perfumey" overtone that to me smells very much like the original flower it is named for. Pineapple, grapefruit & heliotrope are lost in the midst. Wonderful. But I still long for the white frangipani, my true favorite.

Lovely, simple, feminine scent. Easy to wear. Safe to wear to church, the office, etc. Perfect for a warm spring/fall day, or a quiet evening in. Linear and unsophisticated, in all the best ways - it doesn't take you on a journey, just lets you relax and enjoy the pretty scent. I could even see wearing it on rare occasions in winter as a reminder that spring is coming.
