Description
For fans of exotic floral fragrances The Body Shop launches the new fragrant beauty of Polynesia which adds an irresistible floral wreath of tiare, frangipani and ylang-ylang. It is sufficient just to mention these three beautiful flowers which depict lush, intense and intoxicating scents of the Polynesian islands, accompanied with typical aromas of milky, warm and gourmand coconut nectar.
From sunny Italy, The Body Shop takes us this year to the Polynesian islands sprinkling us with waves of freshness and fragrant flowers of tiare, ylang-ylang and frangipani. Luminosity and juiciness of the composition originate from sweet oranges combined with bergamot, while milky, creamy finish is ensured by coconut and vanilla.
Flacons of the collection The Body Shop Voyage Collection were changed last year (redesigned) and look much more attractive now. The new flacon of the perfume Polyinesian Island Tiare is colored in pale yellow with sunny yellow thicker glass bottom, while the body care collection is available in white flacons characteristic for stickers with illustrations of tiare flowers and tags in bright yellow shade with name of the fragrance and of the product.
Polynesian Island Tiare was launched in 2016.

The best fragrance I have ever smelled. It’s longlasting, exotic, fresh, sweet and bitter at the same time. Never get bored of it.

CITRUS….with added tiare/very light coconut/floral…
Typical…typical…nothing special, but not a bad scent. Has a drydown of shampoo/shower gel type scents..IMO. Pass……

This smells good, but cheap and kinda cold. Not refreshing, just cold. And coldness isn‘t something i like in perfumes. I am a bit disappointed.
If you like La Femme Prada, you may like this one. I think they are quite similar.

Review for body cream :
It smells more creamy floral and coconuty, while the edt more prominent in citrus.
The fragrance isn’t as strong as BBW lotion, but leaving a soft skin scent for quite sometimes.
As for the butter consistency, it’s very light unlike TBS body butter. Not leaving sticky feeling as well. I live in the tropic, but i still can wear it comfortably.

I got this in the Xmas sale so for my money there is a lot of it and for me a little goes a long way, due to a certain oily texture to it that seems to make it last a lomg time. It is is clean smell, coconut and citrus elements stand out for me.
I wanted to really love it but as it smells similar to my hair products, but less sweet and more oily, I just couldn’t quite get there. For the money I can’t complain it was half price.

Bought this from T.J. RossMarshalls . I love tiare – it’s so heady…………..Not here though. This is weak and too much citrus. Returned it. This is after a few nice Body Shop purchases like Mango and Peach.
Still the Body Shop is MILES above Bath & Body Works!

Wearing this you do feel like going to a beautiful island surrounded by flowers at sunset (aahhh…). Is soft and addictive. I think is longer lasting than the other scents from this line. About two hours for me.

Coconutty, fresh, sweet & watery. Like being around a lake or a running stream in the forest. Sillage is not great but it sits on my skin for 2-3 hours. Great choice for the summer.
sany4ek – :
Exotic and nice, tiare flower and ylang-ylang scent. Unpretentious and office safe due to soft stillage. Not only for summer.
kji549Bessinepome – :
I have the EDT and the fragrance mist. Longevity is average. With the initial spray, I get coconut. Dry down, it’s more citrus, powdery, and patchouli, with my body chemistry at least. I IMMEDIATELY think of Karma by Lush, if any one is familiar with that. This is definitely a summer-appropriate scent.
yamakasiz – :
So I finally got a bottle of this on eBay for a good price. I love, love, love it. BUT … it’s gone in seconds. Literally. Even for EDT it is very short-lived. Oh, well.

This review is for the shower gel. I found it at Marshalls for $3. It is fresh and uplifting but I feel I might tire of it quickly. I get no coconut or vanilla. I smell tropical floral, lots of honey, a bit of citrus and a touch of plastic.
laboranto4ka2011 – :
I love this scent. It’s sweet but not overwhelming, floral and exotic with coconut and vanilla notes. It reminds me of the tropical island vacation, blooming fragrant flowers and the sound of the waves in the distance. That is exactly what I need when it is snowing in Boston on an April day. Surprisingly, it has a good lasting power.
BUZJ777 – :
Tried it on my way out, simple but nice. ,easy to wear, fresh. It would make a great gift for someone who likes perfumes that aren’t too perfumey!! My friend who was with me bought it on the spot, she dislikes anything floral, and it smells very pretty, with a bit of a tropical edge..for the price, you won’t go wrong with it!!
I will but it for my stepmother who likes citrusy light perfumes!! Nice!!

The year is just about over and it’s still not out at my local Body Shop. Maybe they don’t want sales of this in the U.S.?!! lol
MrDisneyWorld – :
I have the body mist version as a gift from my mom. I spritzed it twice on my neck, twice on around my shoulder and once on my clothes in the morning, went out of town 5 hours drive away, did not have any chance to reapply it at all. On my way back home around 5, to my surprise, I still could smell a hint of the tiare flower. I am happy with this performance.

I wentto the mall last night scritcly because I had to pay a bill….but because I am the way I am I ended up perfume and makeup shopping lol I had really wanted to smell the Fragrancs from this voyage line and this was really pretty. Excellent price too. Love it

This is a gorgeous tiare white floral tropical perfume. I love these kind of perfumes. It has some of the same notes as Tahiti Island Dream by Bath & Body Works namely the tiare/white florals and the vanilla and coconut. This is more full bodied and throws out a better projection of the aroma. I was hoping to find something exactly like this. The opening is a fresh sweet summer citrus with bergamot orange notes. The white florals emerge from the freshness and turn into one of the most heady perfumy tiare flowers I’ve ever experienced. I like Tahitian gardenia scents. This is strictly a tiare with equal amounts of frangipani. The dry down is vanilla, rich, creamy, and sweet. There’s a milky coconut that also seals the deal. Perfect to wear to the beach or on vacation or on a cruise ship.

I wore it several times trying to spot the tiare or the coconut note. Unfortunately on me it’s just a citrus fragrance. It lasts for a while, but it doesn’t project to any floral or warmer note. It is slightly reminiscent of Lancome’s O de l’orangerie but without the floral note. I tried to layer it on TBS Coconut body butter and on ylang ylang essential oil, but the prominent citrus notes of this fragrance won’t let any warm or sweet note come out. I am very disappointed…
Leon-82 – :
Strong dislike from me. Smells like cheap, yellow rubber, and feels screechy and cheap…so sad, I had such high hopes for this TBS launch!
Xeroxahorv – :
Coconut and tiare flower make a great composition. Very nice, tropically sweet perfume, that makes me think of the summer, beach and freedom. I would like this to be a bit stronger, then it would be just perfect. My favorite from this line of perfumes.
THN – :
Polynesia in a bottle! Oh heaven heaven!
It’s a flowery, creamy, coconaty perfume, which I find perfect for the beach.
I imagine wearing this while sitting in the sun and enjoying the Greek summer.
Beautiful, I just wish it would last longer!
cheetahfps – :
Im loving this and this is not my type of scent in general.
It reminds me if indian jasmine but theres even more of a punch to me.
Its very strong and im bothered as it reminds me of another perfume!! Perhaps its an Alien vibe that im getting and im pretty sure thats what it is…
Just read your review (below, Emma) after writing mine so that im not biased with others and youre right about the Alien mixed with sun lotion!
Makusu – :
Oh I LOVE this! I had the expectation that this would smell like monoï oil; with the name “Polynesia” written on sunshine-yellow background, and with the coconut note sporting first place by the voters.
But no! No sight of sweet gardenia/coconut notes here. (Yes, there is coconut, but not like “Hawaiian Tropic” Coconut)
This is a really heady white floral, almost a jasmine, but with a tropical twist.
This is what Muglers “Alien” would smell like if it mated with a sunscreen lotion (Ambre Solarie from Garnier more specifically). Yes. Exactly like that.
No romantic flowing summerdresses here, this is burning sun, naked skin, salt and sunscreen.
dimm1383 – :
Tested this on my perfume excursion to Body Shop. I do not like coconut in perfumes and sun tan lotions, at all.
This little scent with the beautiful, exotic (for a Finn) tiare flower makes an exception: I don’t mind the coconut, since it is well blended with these beautiful flowers.
This is very tropical, beautiful and refreshing.

Sanza, I hear you. They don’t have at my local TBS, either. In fact, I couldn’t even find it in their website.
‘Wait’ is the most offensive 4-letter word in the English language.
skoroxod – :
I went to Body Shop for this…. they didn´t have it, yet. But they were surprised that I already knew about it. Told them about Fragrantica.
Waiting sucks…. I´m sure this is one for me!
sahivva – :
This sounds very good and perfect for a hot summer.
I hope longevity is decent cause I find most BS perfumes don’t last too long nowadays.
Love tiarè and frangipani so def gonna try this
