Monoï & Tiaré

Dear Monoi & Tiare, You came to me today as the my first blind buy in my life. With you being a cheapie, I couldn't have done much wrong, right? Still you surprised me with how well you kept all promises your notes description and all previous comments were making - and exeeded them with longevity and intensity! And you even more surprised me by reminding me of my long time love: Elie Saab Me Parfum In White . I'd say who has the one doesn't need the other. You are the fragrantification of "the dream of the beginning of summer, and the look-forward to a classy vacation at some beachy town, in which I will be sitting in a long white lightweight sundress im the shadow of a terrace, constructed of white columns which are overgrown with nearly suffocating, while incredibly elegant white bloom. I will just have come back from the beach, my head a bit boozy from too much sun, I will already have showered and have a soothing lotion on my skin with a hardly detectable coconut note." However you are only the dream of this, not the actual situation. An actual beach holiday will be boozier, sandier, less refreshing than what you give me. This will be my summer leisure time scent.

I love this perfume so much!! Very strong, hello I've arrived and you can smell me before I enter the room. Its sexy, VERY FLORAL- Did I mention strong?! Hard to believe its a eau de toilet. Blind bought this because after my trip to Hawaii I went from hating floral, tropical scents- YUCK! To Oh my gawd the smell of flowers is AMAZING! I fell in love with monoi and tiare and thought this would be perfect. IT IS!! I've layered this with coconut scents and yesss babyy its delicious! Goes well with EL Bronze Goddess also SDJ Rio Radiance . I'm obsessed with this one!

Recently sampled a vial and loved it. It is uncommon for me to find a monoi tiare that I actually love and can wear. This one is clean, fresh, a little sweet, unlike others that on my skin go too dirty, too sweet, too floral, or too cloying. On my skin it dries down to warm sweet floral coconut cotton dryer sheets. I think the notes of vanilla & benzoin is what is helping my skin accept this one. Spring or summer happiness in a bottle. I ordered the lotion too :)) it is an eau de toilette.

Monoi is my favorite scent note of all time, so I purchased all three of Berdoues monoi scents. This is the straight up monoi scent I’ve been looking for... not overly strong or sweet, just sun-drenched tropical floral goodness! <3

I was looking for nice summer scent. Have tried many and found some I liked until I got Berdoues Monoï & Coco and Monoï & Tiaré - those two are absolutely the best summer scents. LOVE at first sniff

For all of $14 this is a great Spring Summer perfume. One of the best buys I have

Of the three Berdoues Monoi fragrances this is initially the most screechy and plastic smelling, but once it settles, it's a decent interpretation of monoi oil. This also has the strongest vanillic component of the three, and after the tiare blossom and coconut have long dissipated, it leaves behind a very pleasant vanilla+lemon gelato type skinscent. Still think that the ~Monoi & Frangipanier~ is the best and prettiest in the Berdoues Monoi trio.

It is a very pleasant (but not my cup of tea) and youthful, flowery scent. It starts off a bit harsh but soon settles into a lovely summery fragrance. After two hours, I can still smell it in my hair, but you’ll need an atomizer to refresh it every couple of hours. Oh, and if you’re expecting a true "frangipani" scent, this perfume might remind you of those flowers but smells quite different. We have plenty of plumeria trees where I live, and their scent is distinct from this perfume. Came back to edit my review. After some time I cam tell that it worth every penny I payed and even more. Initially I wrote that the smell is not my cup of tea, but now I just love it. And the longevity is impressive for cologne. I can smell it on my hair even after two days.

I'm unsure if I like this. I feel like I should have gotten the monoi & Coconut instead this is very tiare heavy with salty floral I'm not sure if I want yo keep this or not it's not bad but not great either idk...I think it's the floral I don't like idk

This is so overpoweringly floral, it's a screechy mess. No sweetness, no creaminess, no coconut or vanilla or fruit. Just a wrecking ball of synthetic white flowers. It smells like a eau de toilette spray little girls would get as a souvenir from a tacky tourist shop in Hawaii. Absolutely headache inducing. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

I’m SO surprised that Replica Beach Walk didn’t make it on the “similar list” for this! This Smells EXACTLY like Replica Beach walk, or reminds me of Bath & Body Works the beach, or Juliette has a guns Pear Inc. This has that airy tropical vibe ( vs some tropical scents focus on a marine vibe, and some a fruity vibe.) This is airy, like a gust of wind off the beach, catching the scent of sunscreen in the distance, fresh coconut milk, and salty ocean. If you like any of the scents listed above, you mine as well buy this one for the price! I’m pretty impressed tbh. I haven’t had those above in my collection in awhile. I might snag a bottle of this for summer. This lasted me ALL day, getting compliments after work when i thought it long dissipated. But people still smelled it on me.

Sensual sent of our own skin, after swimming. Beautiful,not masculine,not feminine, just perfect summer scent for everyone. Longevity and projection are moderate, but noticable,and magnet for compliments.
