Waikiki Pikake

Jasmine (and the white flowers in this scent) really is a hit-or-miss for some people. Jasmine loves my chemistry (thankfully - SOMETHING does!) but I feel bad for the people that it turns to mothball smell on, because they are missing out. If you don't know how jasmine smells on you, sampling this would be a good test, because it doesn't get much more jasmine than this. (I realize it it's technically pikake, but to me, the floral is all jasmine) Like one of the previous posters, I was a Love's Musky Jasmine junky in the 80's. This is pretty close. On me, there wasn't any citus or cedar - just jasmine and sandalwood. I love Pacifica Tunisian Jasmine at least as much as this one - maybe slightly more (I'm worried that it will be discontinued - "oh no! not again!") Frankly, I think that mixing Tunisian Jasmine with this scent might be the ultimate jasmine experience, as the almond in Tunisian jasmine adds beautiful character, and the sandalwood in this one is simply wonderful. This lasts and lasts on me - pacifica fragrances are such a great deal!

I absolutely adore this scent!!! To me t smells just like a seaside kingdom, I get a wonderful heady jasmine and a white musk scent along with sandalwood. Its a scent I have looked for , for a long time, I do not have the perfume but i have the body butter and the first word that comes to my mind is... AMAZING.If you love summertime flowers jasmine and tiare flowers then you will surely adore this.The lotion lasts all day at least on me it does, i dont even need the perfume, i think it would be too overpowering if i paired them, so i have my own personal supply of this fantabulous lotion.

I love Pacifica due to their use of naturals, and with this perfume - I had the solid - they have achieved the perfect light jasmine scent. I usually don't wear simple jasmine fragrances as I find it overpoweringly sweet and heavy, but this is light, just noticeable if applied at pulse points. It's easy to wear inside, in humid or hot conditions, or for workouts. The sandalwood is more of a hint, just to counter the floral note. Incidentally, the solids are some of the least comodogenic I have found, and are a perfect scented hair pomade or cuticle balm.

Really pretty and straightforward, not complex. I don't really get much sandalwood other than a powdery drydown, just florals - white flowers with a very green edge - like a dry white wine. Great price for the quality, like all Pacificas, just excellent. Lasting power is in the middle, not the worst or best. Got to say I prefer their Tunisian Jasmine, which is warmer and sweeter, a little more complex, and lasts a bit longer. Alas, I passed this one on, it didn't work ON me - smells better around me or on others near me. Love the peacock on the bottle!

I enjoy straight forward frags, as much as complex ones. Waikiki Pikake is simple and amazing. No indole! Exotic white jasmine and gardenia expanding in humid, tropical sweetness. I can’t get over how spectacular that is, layered over Ayres Sweet Nostalgy body butter (jacaranda, gardenia, apricot skin). That combination exalts the lush, heady fragrance of night-blooming flowers I’ve experienced in past travels. This is my first Pacifica purchase and I cannot be happier. The design and color scheme, from bottle to package, are adorable!
