I'm sorry, DeGe, I couldn't resist the pun. But when I wanted to describe this scent and opened the page to see your comment, I had no choice - your title was practically begging me to turn it on its head. My nose had already made its judgment, and there was no escaping it.
CSP Aloha Tiaré is a tropical floral explosion. Thick, rich orange, as many scent molecules in a drop as possible. Here, the tropics and the flowers swirl as if there were no tomorrow. These are not the delicate, dewy, sweet flowers we are so often used to. Frangipani, Tiaré, and Ylang Ylang are pushed to the very limits of their possibilities. And this olfactory power is so fat and creamy that even the sweet notes of the base like vanilla and coconut have no chance of coming to light.
It's a bit like stepping into the free-flight hall for exotic birds and butterflies at the Walsrode Bird Park: immediately, the warm, humid air hits you. The heaviness smells rich from the tropical plants and flowers that thrive and flourish there. Forget Lower Saxony, you are now in Hawaii.
And as much as I love Magnum, unfortunately, this is just too much Aloha for me.
@ Kalix: You should have seen my face when I opened the page and read DeGe's title. THAT was confusion! :-) @ DeGe: I'm already a summer fan; last winter was definitely too long. But I don't need that much tropical vibe after all! :-)
