Intense Tiare

Montale Intense Tiare Unisex EDP opens with a moderate to a strong projection of sweet, white floral, and fruity accords. The opening is fresh, delectable, evocative of spring, and very pleasant. The Tiare flower is a prominent and inviting note, a white floral scent, soothing, creamy, and fruity; the coconut accompanies the Tiare flower with a sweet tropical fruity and slightly milky accord, delicious. The vanilla makes the fragrance delectable, it adds its sweet, cozy, comforting, aromatic, dessert-like note. Very close behind is the ylang-ylang, another floral and fruity note that contributes with a dense floral, sweet, creamy, and banana-like touch. The rose and jasmine are support notes, they are in the background but they don’t have significant participation. The fragrance is relatively linear, the sweetness and slight muskiness of the ylang-ylang is more noticeable during the opening, but it subsides to a secondary place once the fragrance commences its dry down journey and the vanilla smooths all notes down, letting the Tiare flower, coconut, and ylang-ylang assume the lead of the fragrance. Once Montale Intense Tiare Unisex EDP has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, sweet vanilla, white floral, and fruity (Tiare flower, coconut, ylang-ylang) fragrance. The fragrance feels casual, clean, comforting, cozy, creamy, delectable, delicious, dry, elegant, energizing, more feminine than masculine, floral, fresh, fruity, gentle, high-quality, intimate, inviting, slightly milky, modern, natural, nicely-blended, playful, slightly powdery, refined, relaxing, romantic, seductive, sweet, tropical, versatile, white, and very pleasant.

I had a hard time choosing between intense tiare, coco vanille, and holidays but I'm glad i trusted my gut and went with this one. My problem was coco vanille was too sugary sweet, so i thought i'd give its sibling holidays a try in the hopes of liking it better but as i read more reviews regarding holiday, people said it's basically the same milky coco vanille with an added salty sea accord, so i kinda doubted whether i should rlly get it or nottttt, that's when i saw intense tiare and trusted my gut to just ditch holidays. best decision ever lol intense tiare is coco vanille but sugar-free !! it has all the facets i'm looking for in a beachy fragrance. it's creamy and milky in a white floral + coconut way, it's naturally sweet, has a bit of silky sunscreen vibe, and overall fabulous. another bonus is that I rlly found myself liking white florals lately and i mean in an old-schoolish way bc i badly wanna smell like someone's glamorous granny in the chic-est cathedral ever lmao and that vibe is quite there with intense tiare. specifically, i'm craving for tuberose and for some reason there issss a hidden tuberose note in this fragrance (i love that). if u find urself having a hard time deciding which fragrance to get among the three choices i previously mentioned, you probably have to get intense tiare if ur into white florals that shapeshifts like a beastly chameleon. speaking of, i don't get how people claimed that this is not at all interesting + complex and just your plain linear fragrance bc this is a verrryyyy multi-faceted tiare+coco/monoi/beachy fragrance like girlie has a lotttt of evolutions lol she can be: -indolic jasmine -powdery rose -creamy coco lotion -banana ylang -fizzy tuberose -mature vanilla -monoi that doesn't choke you (unlike other monoi-inspired fragrances that are extremely sweet) it's beautifully blended as well !! it just depends on ur chemistry if it wants to be a soliflore or a beachy bouquet bc there are days where it behaves differently on me like why are u trying to be a mood ring? most of the time tho, it usually starts pretty tart, green and stemmy, then u get to smell a bit of coconut husk that quickly develops into an indolic white floral + banana ylang then you get hints of bubblegum + soda-ish tuberose on mid dry-down that doesn't stay too long as it settles into this powdery and soapy coconut scented lotion. on the late drydown where it's basically just a skin scent, it either goes indolic jasmine or musty (yes musty lmao) vanilla, which i don't hate bc it gives the fragrance that needed animalic twang making it more sensual and elevated. it's not too similar to coco vanille, tho i can tell that they use the same vanilla base. weirdly enough, it reminds me of the powdery smell on jlo glow but better quality bc jlo glow has a rubbery smell. also reminds me of chloe nomade naturelle or jasmin naturel but that one's sandy, dry, woody and definitely sweeter + spicier (lovelyyyy for layering tho). as for performance, it does its job amazingly. on a casual day with ur usual outdoor stuff, it can last 6-7 hours on skin but it's a different case when ur just at home chilling bc it can easily last a whole night's sleep. on clothes? spectacular. easy 27 hours (absurd). strong projection for 2-3 hours then the rest of its wear time is pretty much a long-lasting skin scent (expected bc of it's high oil concentration). finally found the coconut fragrance for me !!

I discovered this years ago searching out a dupe for the original Sand & Sable. S&S was a drugstore perfume that still ranks as one of the best ever summer fragrances imho. Sadly like so many others, it was weakened and cheapened by reformulations over the years. Intense Tiare was recommended to me, under the auspices that the high dollar Montale offering would more closely resemble the tropical beauty of the original Sand & Sable. I can see the comparison, but can't call this a dupe. True to the name, the tiare flower is indeed intense. When people comment on it, they usually think it's gardenia. It's a strong tropical flower note. I get light hints of coconut, but the floral is definitely front and center. The original S&S was sweetened with a little more coconut and slight hints of pineapple or tropical fruit that, together with the white musk, created a perfectly rounded tropical triumph. For me, this one is begging for just a hint of something juicy or bright to temper the heavy white florals. Even with the heavy opening though, the drydown is lovely and invokes tropical elegance. On its own this is a pinch thick for me at first, but I start to enjoy it after an hour or so. It draws compliments, even from strangers, every time I wear it; one lady stopped me in a store to say I smelled "like Tahiti." 🌺 Fun factoid: the cheap reformulated Sand & Sable, spritzed on top while Intense Tiare is still wet, seems to add just enough brightness to make this less floral and more friendly. The combo dries into a beautiful tropical scent that really is reminiscent--but not identical--to the OG Sand & Sable magic. Sillage is highly respectable (spray lightly) and longevity is an all day or night affair. A perfect choice for a destination wedding or summer occasion. Tropical, fun, alluring, and still very high end. ❣️🌴🥥

This is it! This is the perfume I have spent years looking for! I have been on a quest to find the most perfect summer day at the beach wearing suntan lotion scent. This is not one of those "smell like the ocean" beach fragrances, it is a gorgeous creamy floral coconut. This makes me feel like I am holding a coconut shaved ice browsing a cooler full of leis in Maui. IF you want to smell like you have spent time at a tropical destination, but do not want to smell like the destination this is perfect. With all my trial and error perfume samples and purchased I have found coconut to have three main scent profiles. 1. A dry coconut smell that is like opening a bag of dried coconut flakes. Not bad, not sweet, just there. 2. Twangy coconut that has a slightly mildewy or sour note. Some of the popular "beachy" scents lean into this category. Maybe it is a certain combination of coconut and something else? 3. My favorite version, bright and happy coconut. This does not always lean towards gourmand and dessert-like. When I think of a coconut scent in my mind, this is what I imagine. This version of coconut is harder to track down. Believe me, I have spent a small fortune trying. I feel like this is what Vacation brand perfume was trying to smell like, but they just couldn't make it. I immediatly ran to my computer and purchased the largest bottle of this I could find. I might even buy two.

The first time I smelled this perfume, I was working in a coffee shop and believe it or not, this lady would come every morning and her perfume would fill up the place ( the area where she always sat had 15 tables)! I had no idea that was somebody's perfume so I asked a manager one day which room scent are they using because I loved it, he showed me but it wasn't it. When I realized it was this lady I asked her right away and it was the Intense Tiare. At that point I already had Intense Cafe and was hooked on Montale. I just recently got a bottle of Intense Tiare for summer and it smells even better on me! It's really strong so I just spray it once and i can smell it the whole day! It starts a bit too strong for a couple of seconds, I really don't feel comfortable with the intensity but then it develops into a real tropical scent. Smells of Coppertone mixed with flowers, coconuts and salt. It really reminds me of Beachy by Lilly Pulitzer, only it's a bit warmer and a lot more long lasting. It's very very sweet. Also it's a perfect perfume for mixing, I like to mix it with the Tropical Wood by Montale.

Montale is not fooling around when they used the term “Intense” here. It is super-intense. Everything is amped up. The buttery tiare, the voluptuous jasmine, the juicy coconut, the banana ylang-ylang, and the sweet creamy vanilla, are all on steroids. The rose is the only thing missing for me. I'm not smelling it, but I'm sure it is adding to this luscious potion. Seems I'm one of the lucky ones as I don't get anything synthetic here, which can't be said about 2 other scents I blind bought from this house. Nope, everything smells natural, but also bigger than life. As others have noted, it does smell like Guerlain Terracotta initially, but the dry down is where they deviate. It is much more dense and rich that that. Even though it's crazy strong to me, somehow, strangely, it all works. After hours in this tropical paradise, I am rewarded with a sweet, creamy vanilla dry down, that seems to go on forever. I always hated coconut in a fragrance before. This fragrance has somewhat changed my mind. I don't think I'll be as closed-minded about that note in the future thanks to this scent. I love it!

This is STRONG. Likely one of the strongest perfumes you've ever smelled - definitely one of the strongest I ever have. It makes no fuss and no frills, it sucker punches you right in the nose! If you don't like heavy, tropical, beachy florals then this definitely isn't for you as it's industrial strength. It's not a very complex fragrance, it's pretty much straight-up tiare flower and coconut/coconut milk, but boy is it good if that's your thing (it really is my thing, for one). It transports you to a beach in the Caribbean, or the Maldives perhaps, where you're sitting, basking in the sun and lathering yourself in luxurious suntan oil. I would say it's definitely more feminine than masculine as it's sweet and strongly floral, but tastes may vary. I, for one, will keep wearing it in the summer despite being a man. It's very strong and long-lasting even by Montale's impressive standards, so be very careful with the application. I got the 100 ml bottle and I predict it should last just about forever with how little I need to smell for a whole day!

OK , Montale, I see you! This is my first Montale fragrance and as a Florist and Tiaré lover I had to get this. First spray was, as the name suggests, intense Tiaré. Almost pungent with the YlangYlang, so I had to sneeze. After a few seconds one of the richest Tiaré flower comes to mind and it's tropical with the coconut. I was afraid, that it would smell cheap like sun lotion, but to me it's a powerful, predominant white floral. I detect rose in the dry down, but only in a supporting role. Everything is well blended. The projections in the first 1 hour is beast mode and will have everyone in a radius of +3 meters in a choke hold. It smells like a vacation on a very expensive resort and gives me the complete vacay feeling. It's narcotic, tropical white floral that will make you noticed at any point and time. Longevity in clothes seem eternal, as I can detect traces of this scent a week after. The scent trail, well, is delectable and everyone will notice your immense presence. Give this a try if you want to attention and spread holiday feelings!

goddd i’ve been constantly wearing this and i’m still confused by some people in forums and review saying that it’s linear, boring, and no personality but this fragrance has a lot of depth. it’s mostly white floral at first but it can totally translate as soapy musky lotion-y coco powder, then develops to something warm, milky, and vanillic but not sugary sweet, then it dries down to something fluffy, whipped, and doughy like an edible sunscreen cake with rafaello nuances. You get the best of everything !! It’s perfume-y, it’s not too mature, not too juvenile, not too gourmand, not too sweet, not too creamy, not too suffocatingly floral, not too spf-y. You can dress it up, dress it down, and can be worn !! All. The. Time. and idk what else but to put it simply it’s beautifully balanced. This is soooo good 😭 like SOOOOO good. If u had the same problem like me, which i found coco vanille to be a coco sugar bomb, then pleaseee please just get this. if ur looking for a more lactonic fragrance tho, coco van or holidays might be better for you !!

this scent hypnotized me when i first opened the sample. I purchased the sample blind, for fun as it's close to my name so i thought it was cute, as well as being unfamiliar with the tiare flower and wanting to try something new. but wow was i unprepared for the summer-in-a-bottle explosion that would happen when i opened it. the vanilla doesn't hit me as much as other reviewers, but thats the way she goes. i also don't get "sunscreen" either, however, as a fragrance noob i feel comfortable describing this as creamy. this feels to me like tiare took a long bath in coconut milk and fell asleep in the tub. this fragrance lasts relatively long on me from 1-2 sprays, about 5-6 hours and as it dies down it still clings to you, but this will definitely last a lot longer if you use a body oil first and maybe add another spray or two. ugh, the white flowers + coconut combo just really does it for me here. if your usual fragrance picks have "beach," "tropical," "summer vacation," or anything similar in the name or description, TRY THIS!

Lovely! It’s the simplest way to put it. But it’s really just so lovely I want to douse myself in it all day! The Tiare flowers persists all throughout, and somehow does not get overpowered by the Ylang-ylang, Jasmine, and Rose notes. This reminds me of island flowers in full bloom, where amalgamation of smells from various flowers fill the air. The vanilla and coconut notes added the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess to the overall profile. I cannot emphasize enough how perfectly blended this juice is. It is indeed linear, but there’s no need for any development if it’s already perfect from the very beginning! Not only does it smell amazing, the performance is also eternal! It envelopes you in a wide bubble of goodness! It unleashes its full potential during warm spring/summer days. It easily lasts me 10+ hours on a warm day, but it’s everlasting on clothes. I find that it layers well with other coconut and floral scents, such as Mancera Coco Vanille. I absolutely love this!

This fragrance calls to mind a gorgeous, affluent young woman vacationing on a Hawaiian island. She rubs expensive dry oil on her legs before her dinner date on an outdoor patio. Nearby are tropical palms and cananga trees, their branches heavy with ylang ylang blooms. It does remind of suntan lotion but in a balmy, sophisticated way. The coconut adds a creamy touch but is so well blended as to be almost undetectable under the sultry, tropical flowers and the slight edge of Tahitian vanilla. For some reason whenever I smell this I think of a rich oil rather than a perfume; maybe it’s reminding me of monoï. It leaves that impression, though, of fragranced oil on hot skin under a silky dress on the beach. While this is intense (I generally limit myself to one spray, on my chest underneath my shirt), no one will be asking who’s wearing all that perfume. This is an elevated, sexy sunscreen oil all the way, hot and rich and silky.

I just love this scent! When I first spray it , when I sniff the bottle, when I smell it dried down, it’s so good! But there is something about it, everytime I sniff deeply to inhale the scent I think in the back of my head maybe I shouldn’t because it’s a poisonous chemical air freshener! And yet I loveeeeee it. First bottle of a montale and now I understand the reviews about the brand being overpowering & synthetic smelling. I agree. But this scent!... I don’t have exactly this scent of tiare in my collection yet... I have decants of TF Soleil Blanc & of Terracotta, neither is really a match, very similar, but the Tiare note comes across different in both of those. I have full bottle of Replica Beach Walk and Aerin Hibiscus palm, both have softer tiare notes than Intense Tiara... any way I hope some day I find this same tiare profile... just less air freshenery.

To start off with a surprising and silly extra review, my mom said it smells like myrrh and frankincense, the kind used in church. I was taken aback because it's far from what the notes suggest, but once she pointed it out, I couldn't unsmell it :( My experience with it? It’s creamy, floral, feminine, and bitter. It’s puzzling, because I sense a strong contradiction within it. It’s marketed as a summer fragrance, yet I can’t bring myself to imagine wearing this in high heat without feeling at least a little nauseous. Ironically, I can easily picture someone, or even myself, wearing this in a summer vacation setting, such as on a cruise or in a well-ventilated, pretty restaurant. Even with that said, I don’t deny that it might do well in summer heat as well. It’s elegant, refined, ladylike, and definitely brings back summer vacation vibes.

I finally got a bottle!! It's amazing! I love white florals and this is outstanding. Buttery,oily, tiare! Smells like tuberose and gardenia with that delicious dreamy creamy sun tan lotion scent from the coconut. It starts off smelling like intense tuberose and gardenia and a few minutes later the sun tan lotion smell comes out. It does remind me of Madonna Truth or Dare and Robert piguet Douglas Hannant but with the added coconut. It's perfect for summer but still wearable and beautiful in the fall especially when it's rainy. Tropical,lush,classy and sexy. Long lasting and great sillage! Mine is montale paris not international. I heard montale split into two categories, so i wanted to be clear on which one im talking about. It might not matter, but any way... if you like white tropical florals and suntan lotion than this is for you!

Surprisingly happy with this coconut based scent!!!! Nice, creamy and sweet coconut as the based of strong tiare flower notes. Sweet but definitely not a gourmand scent that what makes it great. Its a love at first sight for me. You need to wear first only then you can love it. Read notes wont take you anywhere near because many people would mistakenly interpret the coconut note. Its really tropical and tiare in intense way. Type a scent that has bold character and one of mass pleaser from Montale. You wont go wrong with this creation and this has become my very often wear fragrance. Projection and sillage are great, longevity is beast on my skin. Last for 12 hours with a couple of spray. The more you spray the more performance you ll get. Overall score 9 out of 10 (projection, sillage, longevity, scent and notes, wearable)

Got this scent for retail in a little shop in venice (i know it seems random). After a lot of discussion and scent smelling with the sales lady, i ended up torn between this or aqua gold, however I ended up settling on the prior to save a little extra money (didn't bring a lot of cash). Though I was a little skeptical at first (mainly due to the very forced sunscreen opening), I ended up falling for the creamy, vanilla-coconut drydown that just made the sunscreen hit all the more beautiful. I get really good performance of around 6-8 hours of projection before becoming a skin scent, while only using 3-5 sprays. The only criticism i can really give to this fragrance is that its sunscreen opening is a little too strong and that it may be harder to wear in certain occasions. overall would give it an 8.5/10.

First impression: this is quite lovely, I've only got a sample of this so far, but I can definitely imagine buying a full bottle of this perfume for summer. I can't really imagine wearing it now, during winter, though, just like I can't imagine wearing Sun EdT by Jil Sander, Womanity by Mugler or Poeme by Lancome. Those are to be worn in hot, sunny weather, as far as my very own, personal "perfume schedule" goes. :) This particular one smells like my childhood memories from summer vacations in Croatia. Smells like skin in summer, smells like sunscreen. :) Like the one we were using as kids and it's very pleasant. Considering notes, this really is mostly about tiare and coconut to my nose. Light, nutty, milky. It opens quite sharp, that's true, but after that it' s just nice and summery in my opinion.

Had a tiny decant lying around, finally got around to trying this and, wow I really love this! It reminds me a ton of terracotta by guerlain. The main differences being that guerlain smells maybe just a bit more coco-nutty, and has a lighter more airy feel. Intense Tiare is a thick tropical floral scent with sweet creamy coconut. It's certainly not gourmand coconut though, and smells like an expensive island vacation. I think the touch of rose is nice and I do notice it. Either I don't get the plasticky-ness in here some people have complained about, or I like it. I do have a few plasticky perfumes I enjoy in my collection. The quality of the perfume is just wow. Thick, long lasting, voluptuous! I really enjoy by terracotta by guerlain, but when it's gone I'm buying this instead!

This is my first Montale and I am blown away. The bottle feels cheap and is definitely not filled to the top. However, the perfume inside is marvelous. It's this super creamy delicious white floral that is very sweet. The sillage is impressive and it lasts ALL DAY. I sprayed on 3 sprays before work this morning and it projected for at least 8 hours before mellowing into a skin scent. However, I could still easily smell it on myself for several more hours. I love this for the summer and wish I hadn't waited so long to buy it. I also layered it with Mancera Holidays and wow, it was delicious!! It toned down the fruits of Holidays and added a slightly powdery sugary coconut-y flower on top. YUM! I can't wait to wear this on vacation, whenever we get to take vacation again.

I’m looking for a beachy florally fragrance and I found it. Its Montale Intense Tiare for sure. I purchased the 100ml bottle and I love it. On my skin, it smells coconut, tiare and vanilla. Those 3 scents very intense you could smell it straight away after you spritz yourself. Its strong, beautiful smell. When it settles down a bit, then the jasmine shines together with the tiare. It’s indeed a beautifully blended together. The longevity on my skin last about 6-7+ hours with minimal spray and the projection around 4-5 hours. The more you spray the better performance you’ll get. It works on my skin pretty well and I’m glad I pick it up at my local store. If you wish to try another beachy fragrance., try Guerlain Terracotta. That one smells good too.

I had this in a sample from a discovery set and I liked this one the most. It's very beachy/sunscreeny and perfect for warm weather and being out and about. The coconut and tiare dance around eachother beautifully, like the name suggests, the tiare is the most prominent note throughout the experience; which I find is sometimes not the case with some Montale/Mancera products. I think there are definitely better beachy/suncreeny fragrances out there but this is a good pickup in my books. The longevity and projection are great too. This layers beautifully with other white floral scents like Divine by Gualtier and Tubereuse Imperiale by BDK. If you're a fan of white florals like me this is blind buy safe in my opinion. I think it's very mass appealing.

Based on the reviews on Fragrantica, I ordered this. I applied it very carefully, not liberally at all. I swear this has lasted for days, through showers, etc. Thanks be to G*d I didn't get any on my clothing, or it would be lingering forever into eternity. This is powerful, I cannot tell a lie. And I really can't say I like it. No Coconut whatsoever, which is what I was expecting with the tiare. So, where is the coconut, folks?? This reminds me so much of Tom Ford's Black Orchid, which I totally could not stomach. I literally got sick from it. I also had Annick Goutal's Songes, which I quickly sold on ebay - none of these agree with me. Disappointed. I've ordered Montale's Deep Rose, and hoping for the best. The longevity is what I'm looking for.

As a child my mother bought me some Monoi Tiare Tahiti whilst traveling in the South Pacific. That smell evoked sunshine, frangipani, tiare flower, coconut and tropical beaches. I didn't think anything could smell better! But I'm here to say that Montale's Intense Tiare has taken this to a new level. It is sublime! It's so creamy and lush you could almost drink it. I'm on holiday at the beach right now and I can't think of anything more appropriate to wear. It blooms in the heat and you are surrounded by a cloud of happiness all day. Also worth mentioning, the drydown is the most delicious creamy vanilla I have experienced which lasts and lasts. Vanilla afficionados take note! This has gone straight to my top 5 and I am on the hunt for backups.

Intense Tiare is a sweet tropical soapy fragrance. Call me crazy but it kind of gives me Chanel No.5 vibes ! Maybe it’s the Ylang-Ylang note? It is not similar at all but it is like a tropical version of N.5. Intense Tiare is sweeter and less powdery. In the beginning I was not sure if I like this but I have grown to love it. The coconut in this is milky and very sweet. The Tiare flower is absolutely breathtaking in this ! It adds a hint of class. This fragrance makes me feel like an Island godess. Don’t get me wrong tho, I don’t get sunscreen or tanning oil vibes. Beachy yes but in a caribbean sun godess way :) Imagine a beautiful woman walking down the beach in gold jewelry and a bright yellow silk dress and long, thick curly hair

absolutely GORGEOUS white and yellow floral milky coconut tropical fragrance, I live in Florida where it’s always hot as hell and this thrives in the heat 💯 if you love killian sun-kissed goddess or alien goddess mugler, but don’t reach for them because of their poor longevity and sillage, this is your BEAST mode niche alternative. 10/10 !! another successful blind buy for me, but if your not into mature vanillic, coconut milk, white and yellow florals, or sunscreen beachy tropical fragrances in general, I suggest not blind buying. overall, 55 bucks well spent, she will be used !! I personally LOVE and suggest layering her with b&bws coconut nectar cause if you do, you’ll smell like a 2000s Bahamas summer vacation !

I have no idea why people think this is suitable for summer. I don't find it tropical at all. I find it to be a warming, mature feminine scent, a bit artificial, but nothing the winter cold couldn't handle. I'm not saying it would be cloying during warmer months, but it would be such a treat on a snowy day. It's not similar to Hypnotic Poison, but I would say they share the same qualities: both are compositions that feel like they couldn't have been created after 2005 and both have a sweet warming coconut note. I think that for the winter time, Intense Tiare would be a great day-time substitute for Hypnotic Poison.

So I'm from the UK, and like so many of us we tend to go abroad in the Summer where the weather is hot and reliable. This fragrance is truly reminiscent of being on holiday/vacation, wearing sun cream and feeling relaxed. The scent is pure tiare, creamy coconut and a buttery vanilla. If you like the smell of Hawaiian Tropic, then you'd love this. The projection and longevity is so surprising. When you think of summer scents, I immediately think of salty skin scents (Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess) that smell divine but only last for 1-2 hours. This is some strong stuff. You'll get 7+ hours wearing this.

I cannot believe I never wrote a comment/review about this scent. Intense Tiare was love at first sniff. Take my money...where do I throw it...how big of a bottle can I get kind of scent. LOVE the tropical heavenly scent of a good monoi, and this is a monoi with a capital Mmmmmmm. Coconut soaked Tiare flowers with a soft creamy vanilla feels like you are wearing a lei of tiare flowers, delicious creamy coconuts fill the air, and firmly plants your feet in soft creamy sandy beaches. Aloha! Intense is right --- it is strong, and lasts all day. People always want to know what it is and where to buy it.

If you could make cake frosting from suntan lotion, this is how it would smell. Sweet, thick, cold, frosty white icing for an ice cream cake, which you plan to eat while gazing at the ocean. Love it! ~ *Having now worn this during summertime, I get a warmer, more powdery side. Warm in the way that your skin heats up from the sun on a hot day, and just when it's almost too much, along comes a perfectly timed cool breeze. Both at once. Not heavy or cloying, but over-spraying can likely veer into headache territory, such is the sheer strength. Nonetheless, this is hands down my favorite in its league.

Intense Tiare is a tropical, banana/Ylang Ylang, powdery, white floral. More Tiare and Ylang Ylang than coconut. I detect only a little rose in the dry down, it is blended just to smooth it out and gives a powdery touch. For the first hour it is a synthetic, nuclear slap across the face. After 2 hours it softens up and is very pleasant. This is the fragrance to wear when you are at the beach or pool all day and you want something to hold up. Or a hot summers night dancing the night away. Diva mode. Love!

It smells almost exactly how I imagined it, which is a first. This is a very commercial beach scent. Girls in bikinis and makeup, with their mojito in hand, sucking in their stomachs for the perfect pic 👙. With that being said, I LOVE it. My bottle is a creamy floral with sweet beachy nuances 🏖. It’s just lovely. I get the tiare flower, vanilla, and coconut big time so this is definitely going to be one of my go to summer scents. If insta baddie beach pics had a scent, it would be THIS. Love it 💛💛

This was my first Montale. I avoided the brand because I hate the bottles. The look and feel of them is awful, and they need to change it to something better and worth the price tag--like Mancera. What's inside is exactly what I wanted, but nothing like CSP Aloha Tiare (from what I remember). This is lush and delicious coconut with alluring tiare and ylang ylang. An island dream. It's intense like it claims to be. Rich and sensual. I've been mixing it with Mancera Holidays.

Oh, this is a delicious one. Tropical, yes but in a sweet, creamy, coconut way. The coconut doesn't give way to chemical suntan lotion smell, and there is no salty-sweat-seawater tone that is so common in beachy scents.. The lovely tiare running through it makes it so pretty and islandy. It packs a punch, longevity wise, but has only seemed to garner compliments at close range in the office. This is all around perfect for me and is definitely going on my favorites list.

I am a bit obsessed with coconut scents so I had to get this one too 😬 as the name suggests it is (very) intense on tiare flowers which together with ylang ylang give a bit of harshness to it and that harshness overpower a coconut-vanilla combo. They are there but in the supporting roles. I still like and use it but there are much better coconut fragrances in my opinion. The longevity is good but on me it isn't that amazing as the other reviews suggest.

I usually gravitate towards scents best suited for cold weather and am trying to expand my options for summer. This was a blind buy and I am so pleased! It is potent but not too much. It has a ‘waxy’ quality to it (probably the coconut) which really does make you think of a tanning body oil. It’s heady and luxurious. A quintessential summertime scent. I can’t wait until the weather is warmer to let this really bloom.

Every Montale and Mancera fragrance is therapeutic. You put it on, and it instantly brings harmony and peace in your whole being. This one is no different. The only problem is that if you want to use it in the office, you really need to go easy with the spray button, because those perfumes hit hard. Only a teeny tiny spray is more than enough. Other than that, you get magic in a bottle.

Most Montale fragrances smell overwhelmingly chemical on me, but here the artifice works better. The plastic smell of the white/yellow florals is kitschy fun, not cloying or too sweet. Suntan oil, as nearly every other review said, but pumped up to luxury brand intensity and depth. I love Holidays too, but the lack of sea salt/melon note makes this more versatile and FBW.

I just recieved my sample and... Oh my... I just cannot wait for summer so I can bathe myself in this fragrance :D it's so pretty! Flowery at first and then beautiful coconut/vanilla... It smells almost identical to Yves Rocher's Traditional Monoi Oil (the one that is pure coconut oil infused with tiare), but sweeter.

Do I smell sunscreen? Delicious tiare, coconut scent. Incredibly summery, and actually for a man only to wear on the hottest days with an hawai appearance or swim short :-) Pretty feminine, and can therefore be used by many more occasions by her. Still I think this is great! Performance is simply excellent. 93

This is a creamy, ever so slightly banana-esqe Tiare fragrance-so pretty with no indoles. This lux beach vacay perfume makes me feel bougie and fresh even in the hottest weather. Whenever I need a pick me up, I spritz this on. It’s truly lovely. I love this more than Terracotta, and it lasts and lasts.

Exotic vacation in a bottle! Positive vibes & induces happiness :) Reminds me of my vacation in Dominican Republic. Coconut milk, vanilla, banana, ylang ylang, ice cream, milky yet fresh. I will always have it in my collection. The Nuxe perfume is quite similar, but Intense Tiare lasts for days..

This fragrance is so so lovely. A creamy coconut floral perfect for spring and summer but nice to wear this time of year again, great sillage on me and reminds me of summer holidays as a child when my mum would wear moringa and coconut body butters. Could potentially be my signature scent.

LOVE It. This coconut, tiare, vanilla and rose is delicious. However i dont find It as intense as other people says. It lasts but the projection is not too beast. It is on me more like a skin scent. Scent: 10 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 6 Versatility: 9 Global: 8.5

Very impressive performance wise! It was a blind buy and I absolutely love it! But had I tested it beforehand, I probably wouldn't have bought it- For me it's too close to Terracotta, of which I have back-up bottles of! It's a summer flower bomb. Great fragrance!

For all the bad reviews, i have a very positive experience to share...I wear this and my husband is extra attentive to me. All day long he’s giving me the most positive affection. Vacations and pina coladas are on his mind. Don’t complicate it :)

very nice summer scent . its not too loud when used lightly, the ylang ylang and coconut dry down is pleasant and delicate and its nice to layer with since its a simple list as the only man wearing this, A+ from me . low-key a beastmode

I got a sample from Notino and I was blown away. It is a warm white floral scent, very well rounded ideal for spring and maybe summer nights too. The coconut is toned down but brings a very playful tone to the scents. Lasts long too

Smells like a holiday in Hawaii. Rich creamy and intense tiare - vanilla - coconut. Natural and exotic. Lasts forever, smells better in cold weather but performs lighter. This scent wraps around you not trail behind.

Intense Tiare is a very strong floral scent. I do wear it in hot weather and it last over 10 hours on my clothes, around 6 hours on my skin. I do gravitate more towards long lasting scent. It’s a win for me!
