Terranova Tiare Lei ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 13 February 2012 12 Comments

Terranova Tiare Lei

Terranova has launched Tiare Lei, a new fragrance for women:

Tiare Lei is a heartfelt tribute to the ancient Polynesian tradition of lei giving - an essential ritual of the aloha spirit - and celebrates the enchanting fragrance of Tahitian tiare, the Tahitian gardenia, one of the Pacific Islands' most beloved and precious flowers...the fragrant Tiare flower becomes the heart of Polynesia's sacred monoi oil...

Additional notes include coconut palm, vanilla orchid and passionflower.

Terranova Tiare Lei is available in 12 ml perfume oil ($16, shown above right) and 60 ml Cologne Mist ($30, not shown), and in matching bath & body products.

(via press release)

    I want to try this. I lived in Hawaii years ago and remember how amazed I was when I first landed how fragrant the air was; jasmine, ginger flower, orchid, gardenia and other exotic blooms.

      I love the smell of gardenia…always happy to find another.

    Gardenia is really not my thing, but I do like what I’ve tried of Terranova’s perfume. Still kicking myself for not having bought their lime and jasmine perfume oil when I was in Hawaii.

      They do have an online shop, if that helps.

        I know, but it was $2 cheaper in Hawaii! Clearly, the solution is to book another vacation there.

    Hawai’l was the one place i was always empted not to wear scent at all, the better to enjoy the lovely scented breeze. This sounds nice, and an inexpensive reminder of my honeymoon!

      I know what you mean — I often feel like that on vacation.
