Tahitian Gardenia
Tahitian Gardenia by Pacifica is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2010 in the budget price tier. It opens with gardenia and clementine, moves into frangipani and whipped cream and dries down to sandalwood, musk and vanilla. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Clementine Small, sweet and a bit candied. Very easy to wear.
Heart
- Frangipani Creamy tropical floral. Suncream adjacent.
- Whipped Cream Airy, milky sweetness. Light rather than dense.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
