Lycanthrope Report post Posted October 27, 2016 Paul Gauguin Tahitian gardenia and vanilla orchid, wild white ginger blossom, coconut, tiger orchid, and a skin-prickle of white musk. I really like this! Fresh from the spray top it smells very sweet, almost honeysuckle-ish, altough that's probably the awapuhi/white ginger blossom. The gardenia also is apparent but not the front and center player. I can detect both the sweetness of vanilla and a slightly citrussy orchid floral mixing together, it's definitely an exotic mix. The coconut does start coming forward... I was driving in my car today and sort of thought about LUSH Alkmaar, with the coconut twang and meatiness. The white musk is probably there but I can't really say it's super prominent.I'd love to save this for a tropical vacation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patina Report post Posted November 4, 2016 The pulpy coconut mixes with the white musk and white florals like it does in Snow White, but the florals are more tropical and there's a generous amount of ginger. The whole thing has a lemony cast to it. This would be a delicious drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted January 19, 2017 Tropical beach coconuts fade into an orchid/ginger blend with a tinge of white musk. This smells like the tropics. It's fruity coconut floral and it smells like the beach. I think I might have to spring for a whole bottle of this if it pops up in the BPTP etsy shop. *goes to look* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
