Wow! One hit of Oud Jaune Intense and we are floating in away in a pool of tropical island bliss, our senses lulled by the heady aroma of pikake and gardenia petals soaking in coconut oil. This is one big-bosomed island girl of a perfume and we love it. Juicy pineapple and monoi oil form a fruity, creamy grin that lifts the corners of the scent at both ends.
Oud? It’s there, but only in homeopathic doses, tethering that big yellow balloon of tropical flowers to a woody, slightly smoky backbone. Ylang and jasmine bring some earthy, spicy gravitas to the pool party, but lascivious orange blossom turns up the heat. It ends, as all great parties should, with a big mug of warm vanilla milk before bed.
