What does Aloha Tiare smell like?

Tahitian gardenia and ylang-ylang over coconut, monoi and frangipani leaf, drying down to musk, vanilla and benzoin. The overall effect is a sweet, creamy tropical floral.

Is it eau de toilette or eau de parfum?

It is an eau de toilette, so expect a lighter concentration than a parfum. Plan on reapplying if you want it to last through a long day.

It is marketed as a women's fragrance. The coconut-vanilla base makes it sweet enough that many men would find it too floral.

How does it compare with other Comptoir Sud Pacifique scents?

It is more floral than the house's vanilla-focused scents and less purely coconut than its beach-oriented releases. Choose it if you want tiare at the center.

When should I wear it?

Warm weather, holidays and casual daytime wear suit it best. The sweetness can feel heavy in high heat or in close indoor settings.

Does it contain real tiare?

The composition lists Tahitian gardenia and monoi, a coconut oil infused with tiare in Polynesian use. The scent is built around that tiare-coconut idea.
