Yves Rocher Les Jardins du Monde Polynesian Tiare Flower

The look of the bottle is exactly the same for the entire Jardins du Monde range. A slightly concave, somewhat chubby and short bottle – pretty cute fella’. I find it to perfectly fit my shower and it is an eye candy among other rather boring commercial shower gels. Bright orange tinge and a pictured Tiare flower certainly make you think of summer but the smell that is captured inside is what teleports me to sunny and lush Polynesian shores. Tiare flower is the dominant fragrant note which can be regarded to be unisex. In fact, Tiare is a type of gardenia and it grows in these shrubs in Tahiti (the largest island within the French Polynesia in the southern Pacific Ocean). Both men and women wear Tiare flowers during special ceremonies and holidays. Some even say that the placement of the Tiare flower (behind right or left ear, on the nape) sends off ahem, a signal of being “reserved” or “free”, if you catch my drift. 

Bocica izgleda bas kao i kod svake tusiralice iz Jardins du Monde kolekcije. Blago konkavna/ udubljena, pomalo bucmasta i niska – simpaticna mala tusiralica. Lijepo mi se uklapa u kupaonici i dosta se istice izmedju svih standardnih, komercijalnih koje imam. Jarko narandzasta boja i slika Tiare cvijeta definitivno asociraju na ljeto ali miris koji je zarobljen unutar bocice je taj koji me teleportira na osuncane polinezijske plaze bogate zelenilom. Cvijet Tiare je dominantna mirisna nota za koju mogu reci da je unisex/ univerzalna. Ustvari, cvijet Tiare je vrsta gardenije i raste u sklopu grmova koji rastu na Tahitiju (najvecem ostrvu unutar Francuske Polinezije koja se nalazi u juznom dijelu Tihog Okeana). Muskarci i zene nose cvijece Tiare tokom posebnih ceremonija i praznika. Neki cak kazu da mjesto gdje se Tiare cvijet stavi (iza lijevog ili desnog uha, na pozadinu vrata) salje odredjene, khm khm, signale o vasem ljubavnom statusu.

These flowers are also given as a welcoming present to guests which visit Tahiti. The word “tiara” means crown and that suits this flower perfectly because Tiare flower is the rightful queen of all Polynesian flowers. The scent of this Polynesian flower queen is pretty specific, quite difficult to describe. It has a sweet note, but not too sweet. This shower gel has a pretty true Tiare flower feel. The sweetness is offset by the fresh green notes and the two blend seamlessly. The good thing is that this wonderful scent (also reminiscent of suntan lotions) lingers for a good while on the skin and the entire house smells of it after every shower. Since this is a shower gel, it is clear yet it has inherited the best attribute of the showers creams in the Jardins du Mond range. It lathers in a thick, luxury foam which entices the senses along with the white flower note. 

Ovo cvijece se poklanja kao dar dobrodoslice gostima koji posjecuju Tahiti. Rijec “tiara” znaci kruna sto odgovara ovom cvijetu u potpunosti jer je Tiare cvijet nesumnjiva kraljica cjelokupnog polinezijskog cvijeca. Miris ove polinezijske cvijetne kraljice je poseban, dosta je specifican i tesko ga je precizno opisati. Ima u njoj nesto slatko ali ne na nacin na koji su npr. slatkisi i karamela slatki. Ovaj gel za tusiranje ima relativno vjeran miris Tiare ali slatkoci protutezu cine svjeze zelene note koje se medjusobno savrseno ispreplicu. Dobra stvar je sto se ovaj miris (djelimicno asocira i na kreme za suncanje) zadrzava na kozi relativno dug period a cijela kuca mirise na njega poslije tusiranja. Posto je o gelu rijec, proziran je a opet je naslijedio najbolju karakteristiku krema za tusiranje iz Jardins du Monde linije. Samo je potrebno da ga mrvicu protrljate i dobiti cete ogromnu, gustu i luksuznu pjenu koja utice na cula jer cijelo tijelo omota u ovaj prekrasni cvijetni miris.

Excellent 2in1 product – it doubles as a shower gel and a shaving cream due to that gorgeous thick lather. It doesn't dry out my skin although it does contain SLS and it actually hydrates just enough, (the hydration is minimal, for some possibly not enough) which is perfect during summer when I don't to feel icky nor I want a slimy residue on my skin. Applying a body lotion/ cream is a dream after this because it sinks in so easily and there is no greasy feeling left. As much as I will probably be thrilled to discover new fragrant shower creams & gels from this Yver Rocher range, I will only decide to review one I find completely different from the others (if there is one that differs that much): Until then, I can honestly recommend gels and creams because they're supreme.

Izvrstan je ovo 2u1 proizvod jer se ponasa kao tusiralica ali i izvrstan je kao krema za brijanje upravo zbog te guste pjene. Uopste mi ne isusuje kozu iako u sastojcima ima SLS a takodjer pruza i taman dovoljno hidratacije (doduse minimalne za neke mozda i nedovoljne) sto je meni idealno tokom ljeta kada ne zelim nista ljepljivo na kozi. Nanositi kremu ili losion za tijelo nakon tusiranja ovim gelom je krasno jer se svaki upije u roku par sekundi. I koliko god cu mozda biti odusevljena isprobavajuci neke nove mirisne gelove i kreme za tusiranje iz ove YR linije, ne planiram ih recenzirati – osim ako ne naidjem na neki koji se u potpunosti razlikuje od ostalih. Do tada, mogu samo da vam iskreno preporucim i gelove i kreme jer su izuzetni.
