Monoi

Really pretty, simple tropical perfume. It was $13, I believe on Fragrance Net and I prefer it to some higher end perfumes. One I always want in my collection and makes me want to try this house’s other perfumes.

Evocations and references are highly individual and variable. This evokes tropical flowers and sunscreen with fragrance lift. It really smells like monoi oil. Tahitian Gardenia with that vanilla aspect and fruity osmanthus, just like the notes promise. It's yellow and sunny and can blend with other genres of fragrance if you don't spray too much. Kinda simple but I wouldn't say cheap.

Absolutely NOT the same as Yves Rocher or other monoi products. As a tiaré lover having tested several monoi oils and perfumes, I confirm this tends more towards peach/osmanthus than tiaré. There is definitely coconut and maybe vanilla too, which make it very sweet, but I can't detect the tiaré at all, which is why I buy monoi. Still nice, but I'm giving it away

I agree with previous reviewers, it smells just like Monoi by Yves Rocher and I love it for summer. This isn’t your complicated fragrance which develops over time and so on, it is just a comfortable cheap scent. This is your “comfy hoodie” summer scent. Nothing special but that is the magic of it.

I had bought it cause, despite detesting anything too creamy or gourmand, I had found that I actually love the floral creaminess of monoi. This is extremely cheap in italy, like 10€, so I blind bought it. Monotheme is my personal go-to when I want something cheap yet good quality. It's a bit too lactonic and gourmand for my taste, still lovely classic scent of monoi tho. I actually prefer it as a night time scent: monoi can be quite narcotic and sexy and I feel like it fits the night time more.
