UA Hawai'i Mana Eau de Parfum Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

UA Hawai'i Mana Eau de Parfum smells like a walk on the beach in Hawai'i. It feels like the ocean punctuated by Jasmine, Gardenia, Lemon Flower and Apple Blossom, and tempered by the woodsy Sandalwood and Oak. It is sophisticated, and yet casual, and it sits close to the skin instead of overly asserting itself. When it dries down, it mellows into a woodsy floral that calms the senses.

Top Notes: Lemon Flower, Gardenia, Clove Leaf
Mid Notes: Jasmine, Apple Blossom, Geranium
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Oak, Musk

According to UA Hawai'i,

Growing up in Hawai’i taught me to have a deep connection and respect for the island. From snow-capped Mauna Kea to Kīlauea with its lava reaching down to the ocean, this unique island connects us to the elements from which the islands were formed and from which all life springs. It’s this connection to the island that inspired me to create these scents.

Each fragrance embodies these qualities to immerse yourself in: Mana / Power, Pōhaku / Stone, Kupu / Grow, Wena / Glow, Nalu / Wave, and Hā / Breath. I wanted to share that experience through fragrance.

Just as none of the elements are singular in nature, we invite you to layer in creating your own sense of expression. Whether it's combining fire and water with Wena and Kai, or centering on Hā and Mana, there are elements to explore in creating your personal fragrance.

Ingredients: Sugarcane Alcohol (Ethyl Alcohol), Fragrance/Parfum, Aqua/Water/Eau.

Overall Assessment: Just lovely!

UA Hawai'i Kupu Eau de Parfum is yet another beautiful fragrance from this exquisite Hawaiian brand, and it is a delight to the senses, to be sure. There is something indescribably magical about this unusual fragrance. This is an ultra clean, green scent that has an added dimension from the base notes of Amber, Cedar and Musk. They add a richness without in any way overshadowing the light and green sensibility. It achieves what seems like an impossible balance between what might be considered competing notes, but instead these notes commingle beautifully. This fragrance sits close to the skin, and invites the constant sniffing of one's wrist.

UA Hawai'i Pohaku Stone Eau de Parfum Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

As you are likely aware, I became acquainted with the lovely fragrances made by UA Hawai'i last year, and I have been enjoying them ever since. Recently, I have been wearing UA Hawai'i Pōhaku Eau de Parfum, and it may actually be my favorite one, so far. 

Pōhaku Eau de Parfum Notes:
Top Notes: Midnight Breeze, Cyclamen Flower, Clove
Mid Notes: Eucalyptus, Jasmine, Amber
Base Notes: Patchouli, Cedar, Musk

The magical blend of top, middle and base notes create a complex symphony of scents that mingle in the most beautiful and ethereal way. The top notes, punctuated by the clove is tempered by the Jasmine and Cyclamen flowers, and then the aroma is deepened by the Amber, Patchouli, Cedar and Musk. This beautiful combination transforms into a warm and creamy floral with a musk undertone, and it is an utter delight to the senses. As is the case with their other fragrances, I find that Pohaku Stone Eau de Parfum sits close to the skin, and it never enters a room before I do. It is sophisticated and a subtle treat to the senses.

UA HAWAI'I Nalu Eau de Parfum Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

I just recently discovered a wonderful fragrance brand, UA HAWAI'I, that makes stunning fragrances. UA Hawaii's new Elements collection features clean, luxury scents inspired by the island’s natural elements, and they are infused with sustainable botanicals and ingredients that are derived from natural Hawaiian plants or fruit oils.
UA HAWAI'I Nalu Eau de Parfum, formerly called KAI Sea Eau de Parfum, is a lovely crisp and clean fragrance that mingles top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and sea salt with middle notes of pink pepper, orange flower and jasmine. The top and middle notes create a complex peppery floral, but it is the base notes of saffron, oud and vanilla that offer it a rich and sublime depth. The aroma is quite potent at first spritz, and the dry down creates an indescribably complex, rich, warm, creamy and woodsy floral that is utterly intoxicatingly beautiful.

Nalu Eau de Parfum Notes: 

  • Top Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Sea Salt
  • Mid Notes: Pink Pepper, Orange Flower, Jasmine
  • Base Notes: Saffron, Oud, Vanilla

According to UH HAWAI'I,
