Melia Lei

I've been looking for a plumeria I can get along with for awhile now and this is probably the one. I won't need a FB because a few samples will do for me. This starts off extremely strong sharp plumeria with its neon bright and fruity tones that the flower naturally has. It's fragrance when the trees are in bloom carry for miles in Hawaii. As this softens on skin it turns much more pleasurable. The plumeria turns into a gentle coral tone, the barely there coconut (which makes me happy) probably softens the sharp edges. Charna does coconut well in fragrance. It never ruins a floral, just sweetens and rounds out sharp edges. The jasmine is her always best quality jasmine. She and Hiram Green use only the best real jasmine. The fruity sunny bright tones of the plumeria are never lost just softened to a point of enjoyable wearablility. Why so many perfumers use lime with plumeria I will never know. Plumeria is already naturally fruity with bright citrus tones. Adding citrus is unnecessary and a good perfumer like Charna understands that. This is the best plumeria I have smelled since I've been to Hawaii. If you want plumeria and the real deal give this a try. Extremely long lasting. Her spray samples are 2mls and I've had 2mls of her perfumes last for 3 wears. And I'm am usually a heavy sprayer. Her perfumes are long lasting and use high quality ingredients.
