The Body Shop Polynesian Island Tiare is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Polynesian Island Tiare opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Ylang-Ylang, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Coconut. The Body Shop's Polynesian Island Tiare carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is pure summer in a bottle, and while the coconut and tiare can be divisive, for many it's a tropical escape. Expect decent performance and a scent that screams holiday.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of bergamot and orange, this fragrance quickly transitions to a lush, exotic heart. Tiare flower, frangipani, and ylang-ylang create a heady, white floral symphony, reminiscent of a faraway island breeze. The journey concludes on a warm, creamy base of vanilla and a subtle, non-overpowering coconut, evoking sun-drenched beaches without smelling like pure suntan lotion.
