REVIEWS

Fragrantica - this is another stunning creation from Loewe, this version perfectly captures the essence of summertime season... I have a personal weakness when it comes to tropical, yellow flowers, coconut, sweet vanilla and incense fragrances. Paula’s Ibiza Eclectic has all these notes plus some: sweet mandarin, orange blossom, jasmine, pepper, olibanum and sandalwood!  A symphony of different notes from different families of perfumes, all blended smoothly together to create a scent that transports me to a tropical paradise.
..I got countless compliments from my colleagues at work saying that it smells like holiday around me!...Similar indeed to Beach Walk and Soleil Blanc. Very underrated!

Fragrantica - this is by far my favorite, I understand why is not everyone cup’s of tea, but I love it. At first is a bit peppery and a floral but on the dry down you start to get the notes of incense and musk and it becomes more mature and sexy, i also get a vintage powdery makeup smell, to me it smells like a rich lady on a Beach resort with her big summer hat, sunglasses, red nails and a stack of jewerly that makes a lot of noise. Also this is my most complimented parfume ever!

Fragrantica - One for the ylang-ylang gang. A full-bodied tropical floral, where a single spritz goes a very, very long way. Creamy, dreamy, and – as the name suggests – a little quirky. Think Tanya from the White Lotus, if she made it to Thailand. One minute it’s beachy breeze, the next it’s hot stanky jasmine. Interestingly, not a hint of sunscreen about her. If you can brave the bold introduction, the drydown is divine. Around the twelve-hour mark on skin (yes, I’m getting 12+h on skin!) she simmers into a sultry, coconut-buttered vanilla. On fabric, lush white blossoms linger for over a week. One of my coworkers surprised me with a 100cc bottle and I feel like this will last me until the earth falls into the sun. If you seek an all caps BEACH RESORT YLANG YLANG, this is your gal.

Fragrantica - Paula's Ibiza Eclectic has been a great surprise for me, love at first sniff, so to say. It blends white florals, gourmand sweetness, subtle resinous spices, and creamy woods, what's not to like?  Strong sillage for the first 2 h, then moderate, and lasts on my skin about 6-7 h (more on my shirt).

It definitely has a unique "tropical"/floral accord, and thought there are many notes listed, they all come together in a big unanimous, hard to define, floral accord, with a note of incense(?) in the background that gives it an "airy" feeling.  However, the one note that dominates is Ylang Ylang, and it can be overpowering at the beginning (so, beware if you don't like this note)...Big love from me. 👍👍👍👍

Fragrantica - This is lovely! It's got something in common with the sun screen genre of perfumes, but it's not too much part of that category. I think it's suitable for spring and early autumn, it doesn't scream tropical vacation. That said, I think I would enjoy smelling like this all summer. It smells kind of like hanging out at a semi-outdoor beach bar with people who dress like hippies but are low key rich, which I guess fits with the intention.

Fragrantica - Such a great Summer fragrance for those of us that don't love freshies or super sweet fragrances. Ylang-ylang, jasmine and orange blossom stay in the forefront, but the olibanum and vanilla help ground it. Incense note is slight but enough to balance the scent. I don't get as much sandalwood & coconut as others seem to pick up. Musk definitely comes through in the later dry down.

Fragrantica - wore this for Memorial Day weekend party~ this is a compliment magnet from men and women. And the compliments were like... OMG! U smell so good. OR who the hello smells so dam good?!!
