I purchased Aerin Gardenia Rattan to supplement my original Shedonism perfume as per a suggestion on this site. Take my word for it that Gardenia Rattan is NOTHING like Shedonism, not even close! YUK! Waste of money!

If you are a fan of this now defunct fragrance then check out the new-ish Aerin Lauder release Gardenia Rattan. Not spot on but very, very close. No suprise really, as Origins is part of the Lauder group.

Origins made some great fragrances before the line was downsized and Shedonism is one of them. The whole angle is based around the Island of She. The fragrance itself is a thick heady mix of white flowers that smells like gardeania, hibiscus and vanilla. It’s all very balmy and exotic – oddly sexy as well in a mature sort of way.
When I wear it I almost feel that I’ve been annointed with flowers and some natives are hiding just around the corner with the intention of throwing me into the nearest volcano!

I can’t say I’ve tried many tiare flower perfumes because, really, I haven’t. I can tell you l’ve sought them out whenever and wherever I could. Usually, I get my tiare flower/monoi oil fix in the form of bath products and lotions. I have picked up a few bottles of tiare flower-centric fragrances over the years and they succeeded in leaving me sated. They did, however, have a common popcorn note in them. I know that’s all part of the tiare flower experience, but it is a little weird. I just don’t want to smell like Hawaiian popcorn!
I found my perfect tiare scent in Shedonism. It is a sweet and satisfying tiare perfume, sans the popcorn undertone. There is a little greenery going on—throw in some indolic jasmine and some barely-there fruity sweetness for good measure—but this is practically a tiare soliflor. It’s creamy, long-lasting, simplistic goodness; it has been my favorite tiare fragrance thus far. It’s also a great fragrance for layering, especially for balmy summer nights. Shedonism + Beachy = world’s most amazing summer evening scent, ever.
It has since been discontinued so I do not know what I’ll do with myself once I run out. I’ve written emails to the powers that be at Origins/the Estee Lauder Company. I cannot bear the thought of settling once again for a mediocre tiare scent.
