Big Peach Energy.
So yummy smelling in the opening(this is where the peach shines), but turns more sythetic as the mid comes through. This is probably due to the bubblegummy tuberose. A big fan of this. Unsure if I would buy a full bottle, but if a good deal popped up i'd find it hard to resist. I have nothing like this in my collection. There is a small small similarity to Intense Tiaré that comes through after about 30-45 mins from application. I chalk this up to the coconut, davana and tuberose.
The tuberose takes on a rather yellow (buttery) quality in this composition which gives this fragrance a tropical undercurrent that aids the emblematic coconut. The tropical scent bubble this produces is impressive for around 2 hours on my skin. The woods in the dry down barely make themselves known unless you hold you nose to your skin, or you wait several hours for the top and mid to fade a bit. The composition and it's performance are brilliant. There is a slightly cloying, synthetic core to this fragrance that may annoy people, and it's vibrancy means that it can be a little distracting if in an office or trying to work.
For this reason I feel it woud best suit a high latitude spring, summer or autumn, or mid latitude during any season but the hottest, when one is outside relaxing by a pool of water (lake, river, stream, sea, swimming pool) and the soft breezes carry the scent with a subtle ebb and flow.

Big disappointment for a peach lover...
It starts out quite promising with beautiful peach and coconut notes, but then gets VERY smokey and soapy (perhaps on my skin). I didn't like it out of the tester bottle either. Be sure to test it first before buying since it's WAAAAAY too expensive for the lower quality scent it offers. If you like clean, not too sweet peach perfumes, try Dalissime or In Bloom for a much better quality and price. They're peachy without being too cloying (or gourmand) and retain their peachy/sweet floral quality all the way to the base notes.

The opening is so realistic, you are smelling the skin of a peach. Then you get a milky coconut and a sweet tuberose as the main player.

Silky peach with lush tuberose and a milky coconut - sweet (with a slight tartness), sophisticated and at the same time sensual. Intensive.
