Monoi de Tahiti

I bought the shampoo out of this series in 2009. I think it's limited edition since I don't see it in stores anymore. Anyway, I have to admit that the shampoo and perfume are the same scents, but.. the shampoo lasts waayy longer! I'm shocked! O_O I wash my hair with it and it smells like bubblegum for almost a week (OMG!!!) I love, love this smell - so girly, cheerful, flirty, giggly, charming and summery!! I feel like bubblegum girl (haha I'm the first one that has thought of that ;)) it's weird that some really complicated smells i cannot stand, but this one - with only 2 notes - is greeat.. i use the shampoo when i want to feel like a girly girl :)) dee-licious, yum yum. :3

mmm Tahitian paradise in a bottle! Being the first Tahiti/tropical/exotic/beach in a bottle scent I have ever tried, this to me beats most of the big guys that cost 10 times more than this little gem. Tiare flower, in its purest, wildest form, embraces creamy coconut and sun rays. The feeling of sunkissed skin, wind in your hair, sitting under a palm tree... Divine, beautiful. I have this in the Traditional Tiare Oil format, I use it on my hair after I shower. I adore this. Lasts so long and I get delicious whiffs of it when I swing my blonde tresses.

I LOVE this scent. I discovered the Yves Rocher Monoi oil in 1992 and since then I use the oil every summer and also sometimes when I need to have a little summer during the cold winter months. In 2011 I bought the Monoi de Tahiti fragrant spray, which has exactly the same scent as my beloved Monoi oil. Unfortunately it has a poor longevity and sillage, but it's affordable so I don't mind spraying during the day whenever needed. LOVELY, EXOTIC scent of tahitian flowers and a bit of coconut. I hope it will never be discontinued!

This pretty tropical white flower fragrance oil is exactly how monoi should smell as 2746cstreet noted. The sweetness of the natural tiare scent almost reminds me of a real ripe honeydew melon, though there is nothing exactly "fresh" or "ozonic" about this fragrance per se. It just smells very ripe to me. It has a sparkling soft sweet scent. Great for layering. Projection and longevity are both pretty good. What a special find for such an inexpensive price.

I actually have the oil for this and so my review will be based on that. Now, I use the oil year 'round and love it because it's so good for the skin. But the smell is sublime. Made for the summer at the beach the smell is also very warming and comforting during the dry winter months and this oil is AWESOME for winter afflicted skin. Oil yourself up, spray it on... whatever you do you will most likely LOVE this scent.
