Malibu Lemon Blossom

THIS might be one of the yummiest fragrances I have ever put on my skin!!!! I'm so happeeee! :D Ok, I'll calm down and act my age now. Ha :) I live in HOT, humid Texas. This week, finding a lemony, fresh, non-perfumey fragrance has become a sudden, urgent priority. I read the reviews for this, and ordered blindly, hoping for the best, but not sure what I'd receive. It just arrived, and it's sooo pretty, delicate, sugary, lemony, transparent, clean, delightful....my goodness. I love it with all my heart. And its SO affordable! I hope this doesn't turn some off , but the floral touch in this smells a little bit to me like some perfumer took the best, freshest part of Philosophy's Pure Grace, and blended it with lightly sugared lemons. *swoon* This, and L'Occitane 's Lemon Verbena (which I also just discovered, and love with the same enthusiasm) are lemony treasures to me. :) Edit: I kind of spoke too soon. Oops. This seemed so perfect at first! I have to say though.....I was so sad to discover as I wore this, that the perfectly refreshing, delish lemon-drop candy top-note REALLY fades. :( It definitely stays pretty, but after 15 minutes, it is just faintly floral, and slightly salty. No more lemon. :( None. Oh well. It's very affordable, so I don't regret purchasing, to enjoy those first 15 glorious minutes! :) (over and over all day! Lol) It's just not the HG I was proclaiming it to be yesterday. For a burst of lemon that stays lemon until it's gone, I've got my L'Occitane Verbena EDT. :) Maybe I'll combine the two. Edit #2: This is a def fav now. Lasts forever, gets tons of compliments, and makes me feel fresh and feminine. After I've sprayed on another frag, I find myself regretting it, and pining for this. Lol

Someone needs to change the notes on this. These are the real notes, from the Pacifica website: This fresh scent captures the free spirit of the Pacific Ocean with Lemon Blossom, Litsea Cubeba, flowering Angel's Trumpet, fresh herbs and salty sea breezes. Absolutely beautiful, another scent that reminds me so strongly of the salty water, cool breezes, hot sun, fruits and flowers of living near the Equator. I fell in love from the first lemony whiff to the flowery heart to the salty last notes. It manages to capture the light-heartedness of the beach while remaining pretty and feminine, without the harshness of Bobbi Brown's Beach. I anticipate that this will be a staple for me for many years to come.

I purchased this because of the Litsea note. It's discontinued so I had to find this on Ebay and at first I was note sure if I want to pay the price for a 40% filled bottled but I am so glad i did. This scent is beautiful!!!!!! I am a citrus lover and have lots of citrus scents in my fragrance collection and this one is a true standout. It doesn't smell like lemon to be except for the zest but the lemon blossom flower is exceptional. It projects very well on my skin. It make me feel free and happy. I will have to savor this but I will be looking for more lemon blossom scents to add to my scent repertoire.

I love, love, love the smell of lemon blossoms, and this company captures the scent better than any other (and there aren't many out there to choose from). It's clean and fresh and so fabulous on hot, sunny days. Because it's the lemon blossom, it's more of a sweet, creamy lemon rather than a sour or acidic lemon scent. Reminds me of the lemon custard ice cream that my local ice cream shop stopped making! Update: I've layered this with Pacifica's Spanish Amber (for depth and sultriness. Smells like incense). I also tried layering with French Lilac (for a super clean and fresh summery-spring scent).

When I first smelled this one from the bottle I though "ew, lemon." That's all I got from it. Luckily I became obsessed with Pacifica perfumes and wanted all of them so I gave this another try. Sure there is a pungent and tangy blast of lemon, but there is so much more! There is a salty ocean note and a beautiful white floral note that really shines overtime. The white floral being lemon blossom and a very true lemon blossom note it is! The effect is very summery and beachy. The smell of sunshine and ocean water! This is a love.

I just bought my bottle at our local Whole Foods, and I am just blown away. The packaging(and the fact it is distributed by Whole Foods) made it apparent this was a natural eco-conscious fragrance. The box reads "vegan" and the alcohol is "a natural grain type". The scent itself is beautiful in its simplicity. It is above all citrus and pure, like a lemon. Blossoms are apparent as well, I love the fluffyness of the flowers. This is so energizing, it stopped my stomach from feeling sick that day. I would reccomend it! :)

This is really nice! It's like creamy, candied lemon zest with a hint of that distinctive lemon tree smell that's almost like froot loops, especially in the drydown, probably the lemon blossom. It's very zesty right when you put it on, but it doesn't have a citrus-detergent edge at all. It's not *just* lemon blossoms, but it's very nice, especially if you like lemon candy type scents, or lemon-vanilla combinations.

Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom: I own many Pacifica products and picked up a rollerball of Malibu Lemon Blossom a few months ago on clearance at my local Meijer store. Really like this perfume! Initially the lemon is a bit strong, but then within 10 minutes or so it calms down and florals start to present itself with a little bit of saltiness to it on my skin. It's really pretty and inoffensive.

PACIFICA, PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!! This was a GEM and so many of us are devastated!! Also love that the bottle size makes it easy to travel with. Great price point and a sunny, fresh, BALANCED citrus fragrance that wasn't too tart or astringent. On my skin it even had a creamy thing going on, like lemon ice cream or lemon custard. Yummy and resfreshing... PLEASE BRING IT BACK! :-)

I don't tend to like citrus scents, however...I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS FRAGRANCE!!!! If you are in need of true emotional lift, try this on... It's almost as fabulous as a new pair of shoes (that really fit you perfectly) or that new guy (the "perfect" guy), without the expense or hassle -I mean, what could be better?

This is a very fresh and appealing floral citrus- it smells like lemon, honey, meadow flowers and bales of sun-warmed hay- It's surprisingly long-lasting- I applied it around 9:00 this morning, and it's now just past 8:00 pm! (I'm sampling it in the solid form) It reminds me of Tilleul- love it!

Nice affordable citrus. I lost this for a while and recently found it years later. I have the rollerball, so the perfume turned a bit cloudy from my skin cells festering in this perfume. I was excited to find it again, so that should be telling.

This was absolutely one of my all-time favorite fragrances; it's a proper lemon scent that isn't too powdery and has a really lovely salty undertone. I was absolutely devastated that this perfume was discontinued.

This is possibly the soapiest fragrance I have ever smelled, and I love it! It smells clean and cozy. The lemon scent is smooth and gentle, not sharp in any way. Overall, a happy and casual fragrance.

Discontinuing this fragrance was, in my opinion, one of the worst business decisions Pacifica has ever made. I hope it will return one day.

After applying the solid perfume this morning, my husband, who hates perfume, said to me, "You smell good".

I thought it was an interesting mix of citrus and salt- evoking margaritaville in the best possible way-

My favorite beach scent. So sad its discontinued

I was gifted the little solid perfume tin of this scent. What a pretty, fresh, happy fragrance. It's very lemony, but not in the tart, sour way. It's a sweet floral lemon that has a bit more green and some softness of undistinguishable flowers. It doesn't last, but we already know that about Pacifica. They are a we'll priced house that is all natural, vegan, and cruelty free. The fragrances are almost entirely unoffensive, and are a great staple to have in your repertoire. To me, this is the perfume of memories. In fact, next time hubs and I take a trip, I might pack this little guy. It is just right for every conceivable warm weather vacation scenario. Would I buy a bottle? Perhaps. In fact, it's making me interested in revisiting this house. I might have written them off too soon. The signature of a nature lover. I can see the wearer of this being. A free spirit, maybe even a political activist of some sort. Age doesn't matter. But boho fashion? That is a must.

This was very pretty, and the solid perfume could be applied liberally; it was nice and light. I'm not a fan of fruity perfumes, yet I like notes that aren't quite fruit: lemon blossom, lemon verbena, grapefruit blossom, fig leaf, tomato leaf, etc. It was affordable, but I wasn't excited to wear it. I found myself just remembering to put it on when I saw it; I never planned to wear it, never became a ritual. It layered nicely with The Body Shop vanilla body lotion I wore (now discontinued), which was a scent of vanilla, lemon, and jasmine. Don't be afraid to buy this perfume - it's lovely and will make you smile, if you happen to decide you want to throw it on. It's a summer, daytime perfume.

The first thing I noticed was something akin to lemonheads candy, then tropical flowers. The flowers make me think of Plumerias which are my favorite flower in the tropical world. Anything that can take me there is a welcome addition to my collection. Malibu Lemon is a light, slightly sweet, lemony floral scent that makes me think of summer. It has good sillage and decent lasting power. I admit after a bit the lemon did begin to get to me so I ended up layering it with a vanilla scent. I can't wait for summer to see how this works on a hot sunny day. There are only a few Pacifica scents I actually like, Malibu Lemon is now one of them.

A lovely, calming lemon scent. It has a different feel to it than most perfumes with a dominant lemon note. It's not sharp or astringent at all. To me it smells like fizzy lemon candies and a luxurious, creamy bar of lemon soap. Usually, I hate soap-like scents, but here it is a subtle undertone and it doesn't have that bitter, cloying, masculine quality that soapy scents sometimes do. It is lightly sweet and cheery, but not sugary. It's not my absolute favourite from the Pacifica line, but it is a really well-done natural and inexpensive scent. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a soft lemon fragrance.

This is so pleasant and cheerful. I also get a candied lemon kind of scent at first, and the drydown is a fresh and clean light flowery smell. I'm careful with citrus scents because of migraine headaches, but this doesn't bother me in the slightest. In fact, if I'm feeling a little down, I roll a little Malibu Lemon Blossom on my skin, and it gives me a little lift. It does need frequent reapplication, but that doesn't bother me if it's a light fragrance that doesn't need time to "calm down". I enjoy this one for what it is: uncomplicated, happy, breezy.

True Lemon Blossom with a little bit of a "sweet" dry down. It is not a citrus (Lemon) scent, but Lemon Blossom. Primarily a white floral. Fresh out of the shower, if I spray this on, it has a kind of Victorian scent. I don't mean that it smells like "old lady", but rather something that might have been sold as perfume in Victorian times when perfume was primarily made of essential oils and natural essences. It is not unpleasant and is my first vegan perfume. It would be good to wear to a brunch or afternoon tea.Lasts about 2 hours.

It’s a shame that Malibu Lemon Blossom was discontinued because I’ve liked it since I got it in high school. To me it’s almost a dupe for Replica Under the Lemon Tree but this one is a little more soapy and floral which I actually prefer. Another thing it reminds me of is Mrs. Meyer’s soap which is a comforting and nostalgic scent for me. Although it doesn’t have much complexity or uniqueness to it it’s a pretty and clean scent that won’t offend anyone and it’s perfect for summer.

It's okay for the price ($20 on Amazon). I have never found a lemon that smells as good as Love's Fresh Lemon did during the 1970s (when Smith Kline and French owned the Love Cosmetic line). But that fragrance is long gone -- Dana has now taken over and Love's Fresh Lemon and now it smells like a cleaning product. But, this stuff is okay for the price. Once you've expereinced the best, it's hard to enjoy anything less.

This is a delightful lemon fragrance that is slightly sweet but not anywhere near headache inducing. The lemon freshness lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours on me then calms to a fresh clean smell that slowly fades. Reapply once or twice in your day and you are good to go. Smells natural and not chemical; I think it will be great for summer.

A linear and fresh lemon scent, with white florals in the background. The sea breeze note adds a twist so that it doesn't remind people of cleaning products. The lemon here is also rather gourmand. Sometimes it reminds me of a Garden Chiffon Cake of lemon flavor, but more often it's reminiscent of preserved salted lemon slices!

I tried this for a second time, and I admit I liked it better. The top notes do resemble a sugary lemon candy, but eventually the smell of lemon candy lightens up, and a fresh not takes over. I am not getting the aquatic note particularly. I do like it, and will probably wear it quite a lot during the hot, muggy, Texas summer.

I bought this while visiting California as a reminder of all the beautiful lemon trees out there. It's sweet yet fresh, more lemon meringue pie than tart, juicy lemon, with a wildflowery green undercurrent. I personally don't get a lot of sea notes from it. Very nice for warm weather; it has a casual, outdoorsy, sporty vibe.

So so so jummy. just like real sour Lemoncandy ;) fresh , clean , true citrus.. this will lift my mood anytime . would be great to combain whit vanilla as many say. totaly lovely.. could as many state last longer , but just resprits and enjoy again. mmm.. summer in a bottle

Lemon! Sour lemon - not the same intense true lemon as zest or juice, but the very best lemon notes from cleaner or hard candy. Not particularly sweet, more fresh than intense. Perfect for summer days when it's too hot to wear anything heavy.

BRING IT BACK, i still have my first bottle and i save it for those magical summer evenings, it is very strong citrus, but the dry down is so good. perfect for layering with other scents as well. not for everyone though...

Malibu Lemon Blossom smells of lemonade, or perhaps of Super Power Lemon Drops. It's an uncomplicated, casual summer scent that is very easy to like. It would be perfect for a hot, sunny day at the beach.

A tall glass of cool lemonade anyone? Nothing cloying, artificial or heavy, just refreshing with hint of floral. The products from Pacifica are for the most part excellent.

More white floral, less citrus--and definitely soapy. A youthful summer scent. A wearable, inexpensive fragrance.

I do not get anything floral here. "Lemon lollipop" is what I smell. Very nice but I was looking for blossoms...

pleasant, but didn't stay on me for longer than an hour.

litsea cubeba gives this Pacifica sweet fruit loop lemons that give way to an airy, lemon blossom with white musk that they are calling sea notes. light on silage and longevity

If you miss Loves Lemon this smells just like that. Nice and sweet citrus scent that is feminine

I'll be honest, I didn't like this one very much. I almost bought it because I liked how it smelled on the rollerball tester, but I decided against buying and just tested on my arm, and no more than 2 minutes later I wanted to wash it off. I think it was probably my skin chemistry. It opened up pleasant, lemony, floral. Nothing Windex-y at all if that's what your afraid of. Bright, with soft florals and (here's the part that tripped me up) a salty ocean background. On me, it smelled like sunscreen, but in a "crowded beach restaurant with too many sweaty salty sunscreened tourists" way, not a fun summery way. I really wanted to like it, because it smelled great in the tester, but on my skin it just turned unpleasant.

This is a screechy, floral/ sea salt scent with a hint of citrus. I had high hopes for this after reading reviews that this was a lemony scent, but I don't think it smells like lemon, but rather floral lemon blossom. There’s something about this that actually reminds me of Caldrea's Sea Salt Neroli products, but more floral. I didn't like it when I tested it at Ulta, and liked it even less on the dry down. It's also one of those scents where you try to wash it off 5 times with various kinds of soap, and in desperation use rubbing alcohol, but it's still there. Not what I was looking for when it comes to lemon. This might be better for someone who likes long lasting floral/ sea salt scents.

I blind bought the roll-on for my sister. Geez. It smells exactly like those "Lemon Fresh Wipes" they give you at seafood restaurants but a little sweeter, you could say my sister didn't like it lol. The dry down is not as unpleasant but a toilet deodorizer at most. Not something I would like to smell like. An extremely disappointing blind buy, I had higher expectations from Pacifica since the Hawaiian Ruby Guava is absolute heaven.

This smells like Lemon Pledge, or any other harsh lemon cleaner really. My mom used Lemon Pledge the whole time growing up & thats exactly what I smell. Its not my skin, it smells that way on paper too. Ive seen several comments saying it smells like the lemon wet naps at resturants. I cant see wearing this out as a perfum & not being embarassed at how I smell. This is the first Pacifica I just do not like.

At first spritz it is sweet lemon and crystal sugar with a dose of freshness. After about five minutes, however, it totally morphs into a cheap smelling synthetic green lillac. Would make a decent $20 bathroom air freshener, lol, but I can't use this as a perfume. And, like all fragrances I dislike, it lasts and lasts on the skin. Which I guess is a plus if you like this.

After reading rave reviews all over the internet, I purchased this a few days back. It arrived by mail today. Perfume smells like `lemon drops candy` when you first apply. Then when it dries down, it smells like freshly cleaned bathroom (where lemon scented product had been used). It doesn't smell fresh or clean either. Cloying and cheap.

This morning I spritzed on some Ellie Saab L'eau Couture then this afternoon sampled Pacifica Malibu Lemon moisturizer. The similarities are definately there. I think that the Pacifica lotion could easily be worn as a compliment to L'eau Couture. L'eau Couture is definately more sophisticated and less sweet though.

Smelled like a nice clean lemon at first, but then turned into "white floral" blossom monster on my skin. Hrk! But at least it was like my ex - easy to get off.

It's a bit sweet and a lot artificial. It smells like the same lemon scent that is in nail polish remover.

I've tried a few offerings from the house of Pacifica, as I am always interested in perfumes which boast blends comprising primarily natural and essential oils. So far, I've been impressed, so I decided to blind buy a small bottle of MALIBU BLOSSOM, since I'm always game for a fresh citrus scent. This particular composition smells upon spritzing a lot like Ferrara Pan Lemonheads, small bright yellow spherical candies with a slightly chewy outer coating. Lemonheads proudly claim on every package to be “a fat-free food” and they are truly addicting: I've consumed something like a ton over the course of my life. Sometimes I stock up on Lemonheads, filling large mason jars (preferably with clamps) on display, since I love the sight of this candy almost as much as I love the taste! So, the only question remaining is: do I want to smell like Lemonheads? In fact, the question shortly becomes moot, as MALIBU BLOSSOM becomes slightly woody—probably vetiver—within a couple of minutes, drying down somewhat similarly to Fresh SUGAR LEMON. Which do I prefer? It's a tough call, but I find the Fresh version slightly fresher than the Pacifica. There is an ever-so-slight touch of tang at the tail-end of the mid-stage of MALIBU BLOSSOM which makes it slightly less likeable than SUGAR LEMON (whose own mid-stage is a bit Lemon Pledge-y but still pretty nice), though still quite wearable on a hot summer day. In the drydown, I detect neroli in the Pacifica but not in the Fresh rendition. The difference in price is trivial: Pacifica costs about a cup of coffee less, so all in all it's worth it to buy the Fresh for the bottle alone, which I happen to love. One downside to the Pacific line is that they have yet to awaken to the reality that the packaging matters to perfumistas, too—sometimes quite a lot... The presentations of their products just scream out “amateur!” That on the bottle of what I presume is edt is somewhat kitschily painted the word 'perfume' along with bad floral graphics pretty much sums it up. Anyway, the Fresh is fresher to my nose, so if I decide to replenish my lemon citrus collection once my two 30ml bottles are gone, I'll opt for the Fresh once again. 5.05.11
