Dreamy. It evokes the perfect beach day, my Easter holidays on the northern coast of my island (Beautiful Quisqueya) with family and friends. You feel the scorching sun, tropical fruits, soft drinks, sea salt, white sand, and creamy flowers. Divine and refreshingly realistic. The coconut is well-blended, distinct, and fused with everything to create a unique experience. Not cloying or sticky. Definitely worth trying at least once. Almost a religious experience by the sea 🏖️☀️♥️. The most tropical scent in my collection.
A beautiful tiare and coconut fragrance. Top-notch longevity with a super-ordered complexity; the notes unfold exactly as described in the pyramid. The sillage smells of caramel and vanilla with a tropical coconut touch. It’s not 100% solar, more of a solar-gourmand. High quality, unpretentious, and perfect for summer. It’s the luxury version of Yves Rocher’s Monoi and outlasts Montale’s Tiaré in both longevity and complexity. A spot-on blind buy!
DELICIOUS. Despite the strong presence of the Tiare flower, it’s addictive. I imagine myself on an island in a floral skirt; its scent is very summery. It lasts quite a while and much longer on clothes and hair; I don’t smell much coconut, only Tiare, at least on me. I would buy it many times without a doubt.
At first sniff, dry, it smells very much of flower (I imagine) tiare. If you don’t know what tiare smells like, it’s like 40% rose and 30% iris: a bit powdery with a faint rose memory. It doesn’t smell bad; once applied to the skin, the magic happens and it becomes 50% floral and 50% tropical, feeling the milky coconut alongside the flower. I say I don’t like florals because they remind me of fabric softener or talcum powder, but that’s not the case here; I don’t feel it so synthetic. I’d be lying if I said I could distinguish between natural or artificial ingredients; what I do feel is the quality, as it’s not so piercing to the nose. In the heat, it doesn’t suffocate, which was my only concern in an open environment. Nothing like an air-conditioned office. I’m floored by this house: two blind buys and I liked both. After several setbacks of having to sell bottles because of blind buys, I can’t resist this brand. Edit: I put on about 8 sprays today and I’ve fogged myself up because it’s been 12 hours and I can still smell the fragrance. With this, no need to carry a decant; it’s ridiculous. If it’s beast mode.
Another addictive fragrance from Giardini di Toscana. What a rich perfume! More than the beach, it evokes sunny countryside landscapes, full of flowers, jasmine, fruits, and that sunscreen scent associated with the bold Tiare note. It’s a tender, exquisite perfume, indispensable in my life from now on. A lactonic, floral-fruity gourmand.
Another addictive gem from Giardini di Toscana. What a rich perfume! It evokes less beach and more sun-drenched countryside landscapes: flowers, jasmine, fruits, and that sunscreen scent with a daring touch of tiare. It’s tender, exquisite, and stays with me forever. A lactonic floral-fruity scent for those who love to devour a fragrance.
I’ve taken advantage of the heat to try out some ‘summer’ perfume samples. Borabora is another white coconut-floral type of sun lotion, but this is Giardini di Toscana, who always does it well. Longevity is a solid ten, divine trail without being overwhelming; you smell all day without it being intrusive. Great quality and an attractive price for lovers of beachy scents, evoking the Virgin Islands. At first, it smells like apricot, like peeling a peach, but then the coconut and flowers emerge. As it dries, that typical burnt caramel/sugar base of the house comes through, like in Bianco Latte and Celeste. Now: it’s not my thing, it doesn’t suit my personality or style. That’s why I wouldn’t buy it, but enjoying it while testing it today was a pleasure.
I took advantage of temperatures rising above 20 degrees to try out some ‘summer’ perfumes. Borabora is another white coconut-floral type of sun lotion, but this is Giardini di Toscana and they always do everything right. Longevity of ten hours, divine sillage without being overwhelming; you can smell the perfume all day without it becoming nauseating. Quality at an attractive price for lovers of beach fragrances that evoke holidays in the Virgin Islands. At first, it smells only of apricot, like that scent left on your hands after peeling a peach, but then it dissipates and the coconut and flowers emerge. In the dry-down, that characteristic caramel/burnt sugar base appears, also present in Bianco Latte and Celeste. Now: it’s not my thing, it doesn’t suit my personality or express my style. That’s why I wouldn’t buy it, but today, while testing it, I enjoyed it.
After months of indecision, I finally gave in. I was worried it might be as dense as Celeste or Bianco Latte, which I adore but find overwhelming in the heat. I think it has the perfect balance for this season: sweet without being cloying, strong without being intrusive. It’s a summer dream. Every time I wear it, I feel as though I’m in a Balinese beachside bed with white curtains fluttering in the breeze, the sound of waves in the background, a coconut cocktail in hand, and the sky turning pink at sunset. Magic. On the skin, the opening is a sweet, slightly garish tiare that evolves into a lactonic fragrance with coconut milk, finishing with the essence of Giardini di Toscana: creamy, caramelised, and sensual vanilla. It’s not for a very young audience; I see it for women aged 25 to 30 and upwards. Very flattering and sexy up close, with a moderate sillage and high longevity, lasting around 10-12 hours. Suitable for any time of day, though in the office you need to be careful with the dosage. Moderate price for a niche house with fascinating quality.

Every time I wear it, I feel as though I’m in a Balinese bed with white curtains billowing, waves in the background, a coconut cocktail, and a magical sunset.

Not for a very young audience; I see it for women from 25 to 30 upwards. Very flattering and sexy up close, with a medium trail and high longevity, around 10-12 hours. Suitable for any time of day, though in the office one must take care not to ‘fume’ oneself. Moderate price for a niche with fascinating quality.
Trying it right now… it wasn’t what I expected; I was thinking of a fragrance with tropical and sweet tones. Starting with its opening: very, very floral (yellow), it reminded me of Lancôme’s Poème immediately. I admit that upon drying down it has become much sweeter and yes, these tropical notes are felt more, but very subtly; these intense yellow and creamy flowers always predominate. I’m liking its dry down more, we should get to know each other better.
Sweet tropical floral. It smells very artificial to me and isn’t refreshing. The ylang-ylang is overwhelming for me.
It’s a perfume where the ylang-ylang and jasmine florals predominate, wrapped in the sweetness of subtly fruity vanilla and the softness of musk. It’s slightly lactonic and the coconut milk feels very close to the skin. It’s a pleasant fragrance, very feminine and delicate, with the characteristic quality of GDT. Due to my olfactory sensitivity, it’s not for use in summer; although it’s not very heavy, it remains too intense for high temperatures. For me, it’s perfect for spring, in temperatures that are neither too hot nor too cold.
I bought a decant and found it too indolic, artificial, and cloying. I imagined it would be like Soleil Blanc, which I love, but it’s very different. I didn’t like it; I couldn’t stop perceiving a smell of dirty baby wipes. It’s nothing pleasant, but I truly couldn’t get past it.
I bought it looking for creamy, lactonic alternatives with a coconut note. Upon trying it, I was disappointed because the floral chords were very high and persistent compared to what I was looking for. After a month and a bit of maceration, I used it again and oh my god! Not very persistent sweetness, creamy, I perceive the coconut note and the flowers in the background. I imagine it for those beach days in spring, on a fresh morning or afternoon. I’ll use it a lot this season. Its longevity is a bit more than 6 or 7 hours, not a beast. Still, I think it’s worth trying because it’s very polarising.
I bought a decant and it seemed too indolic, artificial and cloying to me. I imagined it would be in the style of Soleil Blanc, which I love, but no, it’s very different. I didn’t like it; I couldn’t stop perceiving a dirty baby towel scent. That reference isn’t pleasant at all, but I truly couldn’t handle it.
It wasn’t what I expected. It’s a perfume where floral notes predominate in abundance; the opening is quite strong and makes it a bit difficult to tolerate if you’re more of a gourmand aroma person than a floral one. I found it hard to identify the coconut I wanted to predominate. Upon drying down, the flowers calm down and I found a faint resemblance to Mancera’s Coco Vanille. I wouldn’t buy it because it smells very vintage to me, but I think it’s ideal for those seeking a summery perfume that isn’t the typical sunscreen scent.
A very fruity aroma at first, like tropical fruit, then it fades to give way to vanilla and caramel. I perceive it more as a women’s scent due to how sweet it lingers.
It’s extremely floral; you can feel the ylang-ylang and white flowers quite a bit, which makes it impossible to pick up the rest of the declared composition. In that sense, it’s very similar to the Intense Tiare I already own, and I didn’t want another similar one. I find the Intense Tiare a bit more synthetic, but they still resemble each other and I don’t need another. It doesn’t disgust me, but it also doesn’t call to me.
A very fruity aroma at first, like tropical fruit, then it fades to give way to vanilla and caramel. I sense it more as a fragrance for women due to how sweet and long-lasting it is.
I bought a decant and the scent transports me to a beach, quite summery. I didn’t smell the coconut scent I was hoping for, but I did get quite an intense floral. I’ll keep testing it, but for now, I don’t think I’ll buy the 100ml bottle. I’ll use it tomorrow to go out as the weather will be quite hot and I’ll update then.
It’s a well-crafted tropical floral, but beware: it’s not for everyone. Despite the hype, the floral aspect is super potent and dominant at the start, almost overwhelming. If you’re looking for a simple fruity scent or aren’t used to marked florals, this is a risky bet. What I notice most is an ylang-ylang bomb: super dense, fleshy, almost chewable. The first 30-40 minutes hit me too hard in every way, but after that, it becomes much more bearable. I was surprised that the coconut on my skin gets almost eclipsed by the flowers; upon drying down, I detect more vanilla and caramel than coconut. Wow… as a coconut lover, it has less prominence than I expected, but I enjoy it a lot. I see it as unisex, though I think it will appeal more to women, and it’s 100% summery. Performance is excellent, nothing to object to. To sum up, I’ve liked it a lot, though I’m not sure if enough to add it to my collection.
The opening is very tropical and fresh, lovely, but as it dries down, it leaves a scent of coconut air freshener and musk that feels heavy, with a dirty edge. I wouldn’t wear it in summer; perhaps I’ll give it a try in winter, but I don’t see it for me.
The opening is very tropical and fresh, nice, but once it dries down, it leaves a coconut and musk air-freshener scent that feels heavy to me, even dirty. I wouldn’t wear it in summer, maybe give it a chance in winter, but I don’t see it for me.
I tried a sample and fell in love, so I rushed to buy it. I have it now, and it’s nothing like what I remembered. It smells like unrefined coconut, like any body spray from a £3 perfume shop. Unbearable.
I expected something much better. It lasts about two hours and barely projects.
I’m not a great fan of white florals with sweet notes like coconut and vanilla, especially because I feel the sweetness ends up swallowing the flowers; and that happens here. I bought a 5ml decant for holidays expecting a tropical floral, but unfortunately, it wasn’t like that. What predominates is peach, coconut, and caramel, which prevents me from enjoying it. It’s too sweet, very gourmand to wear comfortably in summer, and although there is coconut, it’s too sweet and heavy. I wouldn’t buy the full bottle, and its longevity and trail leave much to be desired.
I’m a novice and I’m ecstatic, in love with this fragrance. I understand it has a slight air-freshener vibe due to the predominant sweetness, but it smells wonderful, oh my goodness. I admit I haven’t explored much, but it was exactly what I needed: sweet, milky, and musky notes. It sits incredibly well on my skin, discreet and not invasive, perfect for being with people for long periods. It relaxes me and makes me feel at home even when out on the street, instant love. Very feminine (but if a man wears it, I’d eat it up!), spring/summer but I’d use it always for how comforting it is, very youthful (but anyone can wear it). Simply precious.
A nice scent for summer, but the price is disproportionate for this profile. It smells like cream, not a perfume costing over £100.
A wonderful, gorgeous fragrance. Super soft yellow flowers, sweet in just the right measure, with ylang-ylang making it creamy and divine. It turns you into ‘Miss Femininity’ instantly, making you want to be sweeter, more delicate, and flirt effortlessly. It lasts quite a while and the trail is moderate but very pretty.
When you smell it, you feel your blood pressure drop and collapse into a cloud surrounded by angels. It’s more feminine than masculine, yet so sublime I’d wear it in summer just to vary things. I imagine it with a white shirt and a bit of freshness in the morning.
Smells lovely but doesn’t last, about two hours maximum. Starts floral and sweet, then only the coconut remains. I love the scent, but for the price, I would have looked for another option.
One of the best I’ve tried, with no synthetic notes at all. Smells like real yellow flowers with a shy, sweet coconut. It lasts all day on the skin and weeks on clothes without bothering. The tropical florals and that floral musk base are divine, though the projection drops off later. Don’t buy it blindly as it’s very different from the usual; it likely depends heavily on skin chemistry, but 100% worth a try.
