mmymoon 'minded us, given that she's still young and has a brain, we at Tiki Labs LLC decided to open our bottle of BPAl Tiki Queen and subject it to some rigorous quantitative analysis.
Methodology: We utilized beer to cleanse the palate. (Since it was Cinquo de Mayo yesterday, and to be scientific, we chose a Mexican beer.) Also, since we didn't have any chips, we got pretzels.
We opened said bottle, and fanned a bit of air over to our nose, like you see them do on CSI. And then we applied a bit to a cloth and repeated. Lastly, and so as not to contaminate the bottle, we rubbed a bit on our wrists for smell, and also behind the ears, 'cause that seemed cool.
Observations from Scientific Subject #1: To start with, let us say that we were slightly disappointed with the appearance. First, why stop at Tiki Queen when you could make Tiki Goddess? There's like bajillion tikis out there, which means you could produce a veritable line of scents, some of which would get all jealous and fight with each other! Which, would be cool. Also, it's a cute picture, but why not a tiki tiki bottle so we could put it up on the shelf in the kitchen where it could collect dust along with our other tiki mugs?
As for the scent itself, the overwhelming notes we observed were "coconut" and "sweet." It is very not unlike the scent of certain tanning products we used back in the days when we still occasionally ventured into the sun.
The scent also called to mind a visit to Singapore many many years ago. Singapore sits smack on the equator, and the humidity felt like you'd just emerged from a very hot shower, so all trips outside were hasty shuffles back and forth between air conditioned spaces and some form of shade. At one point, we debarked an air conditioned bus and hastened to the shelter of an open market. We soon were relatively comfortable inside a dark, covered food court. We sat down at a table, and the proprietor brought over a single coconut. The coconut had two holes drilled into it, and we and our companion each received a single straw. We drank the coconut milk straight from the coconut. It was the best thing in the world.
Observations from Scientific Subject #2:
Us: It's my new perfume, Mr. Tikistitch.
Mr. Tikistitch: Uh-huh.
Us: It's called Tiki Queen!
MT: Um.
Us: What does it smell like to you?
MT: *sniffs* Smells like....VICTORY!
