Malibu Day

This perfume is great! It's different from any other perfume I own. This is totally Pammy! it took me a bit to get used to and understand.... but this is totally her! It's definitely sweet and florally. I was honestly expecting it to be a little warmer because of the gourmand notes that are listed.. and it definitely has some warmness to it, but not in the way I expected. This is a perfume that really left me thinking... but I think I'm finally starting to understand. Whenever I spray this and smell it on my skin, I can just see Pamela's pretty face. I would DEFINITELY say this is a summer fragrance! It's very beachy. It smells like a sunset over Malibu beach. I can totally picture it in my head. This perfume is also very sexy. And not in the lustful sense, it's very romantic, flirty, and cute sexy. Just like my girl Pam. She totally nailed this one. I would also like to mention that I think not everyone is gonna like this one... I think you really have to understand Pamela and her vibes. I feel like I got to know her more on a personal basis just because of this perfume. Honestly.

This is a warm, sweet, flirty perfume that is just right for a day of fun, doing something you really enjoy. At first blast it reminds me of a tropical drink, then it mellows into that lovely lactonic floral tempered with the assertive amber and sandalwood. Nothing groundbreaking...but what is in fragrance these days? However, certainly a firmly likeable fragrance, sort of sexy, that is not shy, cheap or too girlish and it's original enough. Got a gift set with 100mL perfume, 15mL perfume, lotion and body wash at a steal of a deal. And it was a successful blind buy! I am thinking to buy a back up set just to have and hold. It's very kind of Pamela to insist on no animal testing and I think this fragrance is good quality. Quite warm on my skin though so this may just do well going into those sunset evenings! On me sillage is good, longevity is awesome!

I will be the first to admit that the first time I tried this perfume I HATED it or so I thought. But then I thought I would give it another shot because of my extreme LOVE of her other perfume Malibu Night. The conclusion I came to was that the day I tried this the first time I had also tried 6 other perfumes and must have mistaken it for one of the others. I LOVE this perfume. On me this lasts 6+ hours and smells of powdery caramely pralines with a touch of honeysuckle. So delicious in fact that I cannot get enough and have been reaching for this more and more lately. It is the perfect summer fragrance but I would wear this in any season. I need to invest in the 3.4 oz bottle now because my 1.7 oz bottle will surely be gone in no time!!! Delish!!!!!

Am on my second bottle of this and I pretty much agree with the majority. Major highlights are... Scent itself - Smells great! I'd give it a 9/10 The longevity & sillage are the weakness of the product. Longevity - I get about 3.5 hours. Sillage - Only radiates about 1.5-2 feet off your skin. Overall, the scent smells great and it IS a very cheap price, so I will probably continue to buy bottle after bottle for my collection. But due to sillage & longevity lacking...I don't reach for it as often as I would if it lasted double as long as it does. Nevertheless...for making something great smelling and actually UNIQUE... I'll give Pamela a thumbs up on this one. :D

A huge thank you to smile4thecamera for sending me Malibu Day and Malibu Night samples. After taking the time to sample both, I definitely prefer Malibu Day. The first time I tried it, I wasn't sure it was for me, but now I can't get enough of it. I'm actually sad that my sample is gone. I can see myself purchasing a full bottle in the future.

I wore this on my Maldives vacation It will forever bring beautiful memories I love the sweet unusual blend I should wear more honeysuckle perfumes, this note is so relaxing

I love it. It's soft and different enough from other perfumes. It's vegan perfection. I sense the honeysuckle caramel praline mix Playful and beautiful. It's so interesting.

The caramel notes are strong and delicious. It has a very glamorous and beachy vibe. Pamela Anderson is an icon and this scent suits her very well.

Such an underrated gem. Malibu draws comparisons to a Juicy Couture release-- and while I concede it comes off as kinda sorta reminiscent of the kind of thing they'd put out, I don't get the need to readily associate it with anything in their corral. Malibu is certainly (and obviously) a "beachy" scent, specifically meant to be evocative of the beaches of Malibu that Pamela Anderson calls home. But it's her interpretation of beachy that's so intriguing. Malibu isn't chipper and sunny, nor in my opinion is it overtly sensual. It hovers in a pensive dreamy place, even delving slightly into mournful territory. For those of you who avoid celebrity releases-- and trust me: I don't blame you-- I strongly suggest looking into Malibu (and its sibling "Malibu Night"; the pink bottle). There's a portion of intelligence here. There's nuance and a bit of depth. An element of innocence and girlish fun going head-to-head with the crashing waves, the power of the ocean. The play of the gourmandish praline note against the curtain of salty surf is low-key mystifying. According to press statements concerning Miss Anderson's foray into the world of fragrance, apparently Pamela's been mixing and messing with essential oils on her own for years and had a great deal of say in the final product. I wonder what exactly was on her mind when she came up with Malibu... Most of us will never know what it's like to live in such a place; we're perpetually on the outside looking in. It's a playground for celebrities and the wealthy-- but what is that life really like? Money and mansions can only serve as a balm for the soul for so long. They don't last forever. What happens when the opulence no longer works to satisfy that spiritual longing on the inside? Ah, but I digress... Back to Malibu. Unfortunately it doesn't have as much lasting power as one would like. But on the plus side it's made with all natural ingredients and isn't tested on animals (If I'm not mistaken the fragrance does qualify as organic). And a full sized bottle costs almost nothing. Safe to blind-buy.

The pros: -A percentage of every purchase goes to PITA. Which is awesome. -Has no synthetics (which is also a con... But I'll get to that) -Not tested on animals (yay!) -Very pretty, beachy, intriguing scent. It really does smell like what you would imagine Malibu to smell like. A dreamy not-a-care-in-the-world fantasy land. -Gorgeous bottle. Interesting geometric design, but not overdone. It's like a simple beachy gemstone. The cons: -When one makes a fragrance with no synthetics the palette becomes very limited. In this case the perfume is affected in weird ways. Lower shelf life (in my opinion), not much longevity or sillage, etc. -Like I said, not much longevity. Dissapears very quickly- which is a shame because it smells wonderful. -No real sillage. If you spray this on, you're the only one who's gonna smell it. And even that is elusive. In short, because of it's low price it's worth trying. Perhaps you'll have better results.

Found this fabulous club and started reading and searching the pages early this summer. I found this little bottle of heaven thru e-bay and with the guide of your reviews purchased for a song! Bliss, and guilt free on the expense. This isn't serious perfume, but fun, easy, juicy, playful, and yes 'buxom', just like the lady herself. I loved the idea of being transported to a Cali beach and this does it! The first wave is fruity, and now in less than five minutes I get a bit of ocean spray aquatic fresh. I do smell honeysuckle, and about 10 minutes in, it gets creamy and surprisingly warm and cuddly, like a cashmere blanket around a campfire warmth. This is a bright addition to my wardrobe. I will see if she is 'fall' weather worthy, but I expect is just what it promised to be, a nice day at the beach.

This is very floral on my skin:osmanthus, honeysuckle, magnolia, beach salt,amber and watery grape, and something else I can't place-maybe a little honey and iris. On my skin I don't see the connection to Viva La Juicy, which is much more citrusy to my nose, but it seems from reading these reviews that Malibu's scent varies dramatically according to the wearer's skin chemistry. On my skin, the drydown of Malibu is cozy-sandlewood-amber and a bit of vanilla. This perfume travels all over the place with different notes highlighted at different times. It has weak lasting power but since I got mine on Christmas clearance for $2.75 (Big Lots)I don't mind respraying often.

A pretty scent that is weak in silage & longevity even with considerable spraying . So it becomes a nice skin scent ! First I get a sweetness that reminds me of walking into a candy store , after awhile Honeysuckle appears .But I don't consider it t be a white floral . Nothing like I'd expect a scent called Malibu to smell like, or a scent by Pamela Anderson . Affirming do not judge a scent til you try it .I like it and for the price can spray away :)

I've always liked Pamela Anderson and her devotion to PETA. Malibu Day is delicious...in an upscale resort on the beach kind of way, not a suntan lotion kind of way. The bottle is gorgeous, the juice is a beautiful blue, plus it smells wooooonderful. I mean this is just a stunning package all the way around! It becomes more of a skin scent, but the longevity is good. Excellent blind buy!

I have a fair number of women's fragrances and damned if this doesn't remind me of Mugler's Aura more than any other bottle. It doesn't smell like Aura notes, except for the honeysuckle, but it has the same vibration. Malibu projects a lot. I must be sensitive to this sort of sweet white flowered perfume.

Indeed it smells like viva la juicy on my clothes... I like it a lot!

To me, this opens up very similar to Viva la Juicy mixed with a bit of saltiness and berries. It quickly goes vanilla caramel and stays there. I knew when I ordered this it basically followed the same Caramel-Praline-Vanilla-sandalwood-Amber recipe so many others are copying now (Fancy, Viva la Juicy, VS Noir Tease)and I was hoping this would have a different twist from those fragrances. Don't ask why, I'm either optimistic or delusional. But no, this gets lumped into the list of things that all smell alike with not enough of a unique characteristic to matter. I'll say that I like this, but I like the other 27 perfumes that are out right now that smell just like this too. Silage and longevity are not that great, I have to put my nose right on my arm to smell it after about an hour and even them I think I taste it more then smell it. Bottom line- it's nice, it's summery, it's cheap. If you have anything in what I call the "Brat pack perfume pyramid" already in your collection, you probably don't need this one.

Sweet sweet summer scent. This does transport you to Malibu Beach in California on a summer's day. I've been there and I wish I could have smelled this on more women. Easily mistaken for Viva La Juicy but I find that this scent is even more gourmand- ish. It's got vanilla of course doing it's thing: giving the fragrance a long lasting strength, a sweetness and lack of muskiness. The fragrance is a honeysuckle that has a lot of sweet stuff around it like berries caramel praline and sweet mandarin. There's also aldehydes (not listed) and probably just a touch more of citric notes as it begins. I believe the white flowers are freesia and jasmine but this jasmine is shy. This is all about the gourmand scents of caramel and vanilla. But this also has sandalwood and amber which is found in the best perfumes so it's like Pam knew that she could not make this fragrance too sweet and too innocent or too suited to teenager girls. This is a woman's perfume but a woman who is playful flirty sweet and seductive in a way that does not have to include being slutty. I don't find this slutty at all. It's a whisper of sex. A light touch of feminine allure that promises something more for another day. It's a perfect first date fragrance. Guys have complimented me when I wear this. I'm wearing this next Sunday on Valentines Day. Thank You Pamela Anderson.

Malibu Day is a carefree floral fruity gourmand with an abundance of red berries in it's opening act. Although orange and honeysuckle are listed, they take a back seat to the berries. Scattered in stage two is a spray of white flowers that tone down the berries a bit. A huge wave of sweetness is encountered in stage three when the praline and caramel surface until the sandalwood, amber and a small amount of vanilla complete the composition to a satisfying state. Simplistic in its nature, this by all means is not a ground breaking fragrance, however, considering the theme of the scent along with the low price range per bottle, for kicks it's worth trying this physically energizing and somewhat impish scent for beach getaways and casual outdoor occasions. There are a slew of similar scents available but to date Malibu Day is one of the best. This is a super light scent with an almost 3 hour wear. Twofold-tip: Apply a small dab of organic coconut oil before spraying to lessen the sweetness and extend the longevity.

I love Pammy! She’s an absolute icon but this fragrance is not THAT great, it’s a bit cheap and underwhelming (obv I wasn’t expecting much considering it’s $15 on eBay) but after these reviews I was like DAMN this must be a hidden gem... idk I had to have it because I love Pamela, the work she does and stands for, while also being one of the most beautiful and sexy women on the planet... but I really only think this perfume is best on the dry down... I will admit at that point there is somthing addictive about it, but at initial spray it’s not anything ground breaking. I am very curious about the night version as well
