I LOVE Pacifica Waikiki Pikaki but it’s obviously on Pacifica’s chopping block. ☹️
Since others compared this to WP, I bought a tube of the hand cream to test it out and also to layer with the WP spray that I already have.
So this might be more of a comment or aside rather than a true review because I’m working with the lotion and as we all know, lotions don’t always smell exactly like their perfume parents.
On me, the lotion isn’t really anything like WP. I’m not complaining because this is just gorgeous! But it opens with lots of honeysuckle, a healthy does of salt and just a touch of faint, soft citrus – because grapefruit is usually very strong and sharp in most fragrances, I wouldn’t have guessed that this was grapefruit. These three are the very notes that Anthemoessa and WP DON’T share, so the two smell very different to me.
It isn’t until it soaks in almost completely that I detect any sandalwood, and the jasmine just sort of blends seamlessly with the honeysuckle. The honeysuckle and salt are still front and center on me all the way through.
Once dry, the lotion takes on almost a slight green-tea-like dimension. Could this be due to sandalwood? Or maybe just from the lotion ingredients themselves? I don’t know, but it does add an extra bit of elegance
If you own both the lotion and spray, do they smell the same?
If so, I DEFINITELY need a full bottle! The honeysuckle + salt accord is just BEAUTIFUL!
Both VLJ and Anthemoessa have pretty honeysuckle notes, but this one lacks the sugary sweet gourmand dimension of VLJ. I like them both, but VLJ is more sweet and playful, while this one seems more gentle and refined.
If I do try or buy the juice itself, I’ll update my review. I don’t think I can fairly comment on things like longevity or office friendliness from just the hand lotion.
Until then… may your nose smell well and the rest smell good!

This is like a less sweet viva la juicy with an edge. Must be the honeysuckle. A very likable perfume, my favorite from the Neptune & Mermaid series. That’s what I got from an in store testing. I’d have bought it if it would last longer on my skin and I didn’t already have Viva la Juicy. I that’s finished I might get this one!

This perfume smells just like Pacifica’s Waikiki Pikake. Just like its dupe the sandalwood is just too overpowering in this.

LOTS of sandalwood, salt and honeysuckle. A unique fragrance that also blends well with Song to the Siren. I bought a full bottle of that one and will probably end up getting this too, to layer them. I think this is wearable year round.

Anthemoessa start with a fruity-floral combo, half grapefruit half jasmine/honeysuckle. The salt note is perceptible but subtle. I was a bit underwhelmed but the dry down was what make me sure this wasn’t for me. The sandalwood is strong and mixed with a sugary note (the grapefruit) and remind me a lot of TM Kabuki and Tainted Love. Since these two don’t work on my skin at all, it’s was a no-brainer. No Anthemoessa for me.
