#tahitian tiare

[nickysfacts]

Wearing a tiaré flower in your ear is such a small and simplistic thing, yet it carries so much history and culture with it!

🇵🇫🇹🇴🇼🇸

portgas d rouge the woman you are

notes + pose ref for bottom right below!

i have hit her with the pasifika beam. she is tahitian now. rejoice.

dyes her hair but given she's on the move a lot she doesn't always have time (or care enough) to touch up her outgrown roots. between the seawater and the constant bleaching it's probably crunchy. what the hell is "toner" btw is that a music thing

her hibiscus is a tiare now 👍

ace got her build, her eyes, and her smile! not just her freckles. he gloats like her, too.

she had the mera mera before ace. she was a strong swimmer before she ate it, and she misses not feeling fatigued whenever she sticks her feet in the water.

her necklace is strung with boar teeth and tusks, shark teeth, and the few pearls she found herself. killed and probably ate the boar/sharks herself, and the scar on her midriff is a parting gift from the boar trying its damnedest to skewer her. roger was swooning when she told him.

her earrings are gifts: the pearls were collected by roger and made into jewelry by rayleigh. they are her boyfriengds

wears the same dogshit slippers she's had since she was in her late teens. they're being kept together through sheer willpower and tape. they're the only article of clothing that she somehow managed to not burn through when she was figuring out how to control her powers. that's like her sixth pareo.

also has a very large cowboy hat because she deserves it.

bounty hunter. her Thing with roger and rayleigh (and shakky, later on) was very much tom and jerry, despite knowingly and willingly splitting her single braincell with each of them. roger absolutely made fishing her out of the ocean a habit and she was only mad about it the first few times.

1/30/23

 I really didn’t mean to go a year without writing. Back in September, I started an entry that I never got back to, so here’s an attempt at a new one.

It was a pretty eventful year in my perfume world, as well as my personal one. 2022 saw us taking lots of little road trips, several of which one or two-nighters. It was nice to see parts of the state we hadn’t before. We got one great 5 mile hike in before monsoon got busy. Not that it rained much here, but the mountains would be too rainy and cold to enjoy.

Onto the goods. I’ve been extremely content (thrilled) with my perfume wardrobe and mostly focused on acquiring some backups of big loves. Some new additions include this creamy, thick vanilla-tonka beauty called Ajmal Evoke Silver.

bitter orange, rose, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood

This one smells amazing in hot temps! It’s a change up for me because I’m a big floral lover, and really want bright florals in the heat. Evoke doesn’t bloom as beautifully in cool temps though, and it isn’t at all too heavy for hot weather. This has led me to try warmer scents in warmer weather, even if it is slightly against my preference. It has a milky quality like Armani Si Fiori (WHY did they discontinue it?), which is an addition from early last year.

black currant, green mandarin, neroli, rose, patchouli, oakmoss, vanilla, white musk

I’m very grateful for having received a bottle of Si Fiori before it was too hard to find. Another big love that I was wanting for probably 3 years but could never find: White Soul Gold & Diamonds by Ted Lapidus. Make what you will of the name and sure, the bottle is different.. this is a beautiful piece of work by Francis Kurkdjian. This is another one that develops to the best version of itself in warm weather. It’s like a mixture of a creamier JPG Classique Essence and Alien. Some soapiness, a lot of orange blossom, very dense vanilla. It reminds me a bit of PdM Safanad, though not powdery like Safanad. What it is- womanly in every way.

neroli, mandarin, orange, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, amber, vanilla orchid, heliotrope

I also managed to finally get my hands on Signorina Misteriosa. This is a lovely, milky tuberose-blackberry-vanilla. I love these both! I’d nearly forgotten how much I enjoy juicy berries in fragrance- probably because they can feel too shampoo or body spray like. Not here.

blackberry, neroli, tuberose, orange blossom, milk mousse, black vanilla, patchouli

For fun trip to Arizona last spring, I wore Kate Spade Live Colorfully. I also took along my bottle of Intense Tiare, a sample of Gabrielle Essence (even more gorgeous in heat!), and layered True Gold with Far Away Gold by Avon... but it was Live Colorfully that I attached to this particular trip.

water lily, mandarin orange, star anise, gardenia, tiare flower, coconut, Tahitian vanilla, musk, amber

Being obsessed with banana accords, I had to have D & G The One Essence. I have owned a bottle of the original The One for many years, but made the mistake of wearing it during the difficult time of losing my mother. That caused me to completely stop wearing it in spite of loving it. That wasn’t even a conscious decision but it was having the Essence version that brought it to my attention. I can wear it now, thankfully, and this version is so delicious. One night I wore Essence to bed, and the next morning sprayed Tom Ford Champaca Absolute. The vanilla base amped up Champaca Absolute and the two blended so beautifully that I have worn them like this again.

peach, litchi, mandarin orange, bergamot, lily, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, vanilla, amber, vetiver

Did I really try to say I didn’t obtain that many new perfumes? Haha I’m not even going to try to list them all here but let’s not forget Prada La Femme. I was given a sample of La Femme a couple of years ago but when I smelled it, it smelled exactly like Dali Wild, which I already have. So this year on a whim, I decided to try it again and was hooked. Bubblegummy-tuberose-honey floral. Could be beachy, somewhat tropical.. very clean and feminine.

magnolia, bergamot, carrot seeds, frangipani, tuberose, ylang-ylang, iris, spices, beeswax, vanilla, vetiver

Another delicious gourmand, warm, powdery, sultry berry-ish scent that I fell in love with is Cacharel Yes I am Fabulous. My friend sent a decant of this for me to try and I used every drop. So good. SO GOOD.

blackberry, heliotrope, milk, hazlenut

My birthday surprise was the gorgeous Ylang in Gold (Edition Speciale) by M. Micallef. I was fortunate to have previously sampled both the original Ylang in Gold and Ylang in Gold Nectar, which I preferred. Then I saw this bottle, the lack of mint of the original and extra fruity notes of both and only dreamed. I’m so thankful to have this beauty- wish they’d make this formulation permanent. It’s smoother, a little woodier but very much about ylang and vanilla. The great  thing is that good old Casmir by Chopard is close to Ylang in Gold.

geranium, citruses, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, coconut, vanilla

I can’t not mention Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud. This one was on my radar for ages but the reviews were too scary. It was when I smelled something on bubble wrap from another order that something said to just buy it. I had never smelled it before, but a hunch told me that it was Shaghaf Oud. It’s wonderful. Mostly vanilla, praline and oud. I wish the rose was stronger.. but I actually love to layer this with Pure Honey. Can’t get enough..

saffron, oud, rose, praline, vanilla

Another fragrance that I was gifted a sample and fell for is Frank Boclet Ylang Ylang. Goodness. This is very gourmand caramel that shines on the later dry down when the florals come out to play.

mandarin orange, incense, bergamot, ylang-ylang, jasmine, iris, caramel, amber, musk, vetiver

My daughter and I took a trip to the mall one day. It’s funny or sad how little I venture out anymore. On this rare excursion, I was able snag a bottle of Burberry Her Elixir. The Elixir version sits exactly in the middle of Burberry Her and Burberry Her Intense (love) in depth and tone. More milky- most people associate it with milkshake. It’s more girly than the Intense version.

strawberry, blackberry, jasmine, vanilla, amber, sandalwood

Other very worthy mentions I’m enjoying: Michael Kors Glam Jasmine* - Solinotes Ylang Ylang Blossom* - Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition - Mauboussin My Twist - Afnan Souvenir Floral Bouquet

*These deserve their own posts. MK Glam Jasmine is one of the best jasmine scents out there, in my opinion. I have smelled Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge EDT and love it, and while they aren’t exactly the same, Glam Jasmine is hugely satisfying. Long lasting, great sillage. Solinotes Ylang Ylang Blossom has become a favorite easy reach for my insatiable ylang craving. When I first wore it, it reminded me so much of something I couldn’t put my finger on. Tanning lotion and Orchid Soleil, minus the milky (whipped cream) note. You can’t beat that.🌷

Armand Basi Scent Of Kiss My Heart Eau Toilette [year]

Um ano após Scent Of Kiss, a primeira fragrância feminina de Armand Basi dedicada ao beijo e ao seu aroma, a empresa lançou a sua nova versão - Scent Of Kiss My Heart. Conseguem adivinhar o que mais me surpreendeu? A publicidade para esta fragrância! É espantoso que o cheiro de um beijo não seja acompanhado pela imagem de um beijo em si! Não há pessoas a beijarem-se nos anúncios de "Scent Of Kiss" ou "Scent Of Kiss My Heart". Apenas os frascos em forma de batom nos lembram os beijos. O beijo torna-se uma acção virtual, imaginária, talvez mesmo um sonho irrealizável. O beijo é ilustrado com um batom, como se a presença de uma segunda pessoa não fosse necessária para o cheiro de um beijo; nada mais que batom é necessário, ou, neste caso, um frasco de fragrância. Notas de topo - Tangerina, Pêssego, Flor de Laranjeira e Maçã Vermelha Notas de coração - Fava Tonka, Coco, Tiare e Jasmim Notas de base - Praline, Baunilha e Sândalo

Armand Basi Scent Of Kiss My Heart

Como a marca explica no anúncio da Sandrina: "Armand Basi lança o cheiro de gostos: Ou seja, o tipo de beijo digital que as Gerações Y e Z (respectivamente 21-25 anos e 16-20 anos) trocam continuamente nas redes sociais. Segundo o Facebook, uma média de 60 milhões de emojis são enviados num dia, enquanto que o Messenger calcula cerca de 5 milhões. O mais frequentemente utilizado é o rosto sorridente com lágrimas de alegria, seguido por aquele com olhos em forma de coração e aquele que sopra um coraçãozinho em vez de um beijo. Alguns construíram a sua fortuna, ou pelo menos uma carreira, sobre este beijo digital. Daí a ideia de "Scent Of Kiss My Heart", o perfume mais jovem e mais feminino de Armand Basi "O cheiro de um beijo atrás de uma parede cor-de-rosa… Porque é que me detenho nisto? Porque o beijo parece ter-se tornado uma espécie de tabu na publicidade. Num artigo recente sobre Fendi Fendi e Fendi Uomo - não encontrará imagens de um beijo normal, nem sequer de beijar uma estátua. Poucos decidem beijar na publicidade; Calvin Klein é uma excepção, mas tem o nome de ser um provocador desde o seu primeiro anúncio, parece ser imune. https://youtu.be/EQtwdUtCyjI Outros exemplos são do passado antigo, como Djer-Kiss Kerkoff, Emeraude Coty, Tabu Dana… Scent Of Kiss My Heart O cheiro de Kiss My Heart cheira a delicioso, fresco e frutado - há maçã ou pêra, pêssego, morango e baunilha, como uma pastilha elástica frutada. É tão intensamente cor-de-rosa, e pode definitivamente soprar grandes bolhas cor-de-rosa. Pode fazê-lo pensar em pasta de dentes frutada, ou brilho labial - lembre-se, na década de 1970, Maybelline's Kissing Slicks (ou Kissing Potions) chegou pela primeira vez ao mercado - desde Mighty Mint e Strawberry Swirl até Wicked Watermelon e Cherry Smash. O cheiro frutado é gradualmente unido por um doce acordo floral de flores tropicais e óleo de coco.

Scent Of Kiss My Heart está próximo dos batidos frutados com orquídeas, e do aroma cosmético dos produtos de bronzeamento, como uma ilustração olfactiva de uma fotografia de ilhas tropicais. A certa altura, faz lembrar a popular fragrância do Tahitian Monoi Tiare Tahiti, feita de flores de tiare e óleo de coco. No mata-borrão, este cheiro de menina oferece melhor a frescura floral do tiare-frangipani e verdes leves, contra um fundo de gelado fresco, e na pele, Scent Of Kiss My Heart torna-se rapidamente em caramelo de baunilha e coco cremoso, com um tom em pó de veludo. Assim, a fragrância tem uma oportunidade de se tornar uma favorita entre as raparigas. Ou entre os rapazes que gostam dos seus primeiros beijos doces e tropicais. Armand Basi Scent Of Kiss My Heart está disponível em 50ml Eau Toilette. Read the full article

"Tiare" - There are a number of flowers that have similar but yet distinctive lovely fragrances like pikake, tiare, gardenia, puakinikini, tuberose, plumeria and even awapuhi. Perfume makers and room deodorizers try to replicate the scents, down to their molecular breakdown but they never seem to get it perfectly right. #flower #fragrance #fragrant #scent #lovely #beautiful #blossom #paradise #hawaii #garden #plants #tiare #tahitian #gardenia #alwaysaloha #aloha #love
