It opens on blood orange, mandarin, bergamot and lemon, has a single flower at its heart, tiaré Tahiti, and rests on sandalwood, musk and powdery notes.

The recorded text calls it a bubbly, lively start. Expect it to feel bright at once, then to settle within minutes as the flower underneath comes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTiaré Tahiti\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is a single note, tiaré Tahiti, a tropical flower that the recorded text describes as sunny and creamy. With nothing else in the middle, it is easy to tell whether you like it. This is the stage to watch when you wear the sample, since the flower carries the whole character of the perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSandalwood, musk and powdery notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is sandalwood, musk and powdery notes, which give a creamy, soft and close finish. After the brightness of the citrus and the flower, this part is quiet. Smell your wrist in the evening and see whether the soft, powdery end suits you or whether you would want more depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply the decant to clean skin on a sunny spring or summer day, as FragranceGems tags it, and wear it to work or for an evening out. Smell it at the start, once the flower arrives and again in the evening. A second try on another day tells you whether the tiaré stays pleasant for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like a citrus start with a creamy white flower and a soft, powdery base, and who want something easy for warm seasons. FragranceGems lists it as unisex. If tropical flowers such as tiaré or gardenia feel too heavy for you, the sample shows that quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Velixir Asteria as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single tropical flower over citrus can come across as sunny on one person and soapy or heavy on another.
