Hi girls! Today I’ll be reviewing a new product from Pacifica. The product itself isn’t new, but the scent is. It’s called Hawaiian Ruby Guava. They come in 18 scents and retails for $9 each at Whole Foods stores, Sephora, and e-tailers. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Scent Description: “The sweet berry-like notes of guava mingle with the warm scent of coconut surf wax. Paradise found.” I agree with the description, but I don’t smell the coconut. It’s just mostly sweet guava and some sort of beach-y scent.
Packaging: This solid perfume from Pacifica come housed in a cute box that you can pull out to get the box that contains the tin. It’s a pink tin with the solid scent in it. It contains .33 oz of product.
Wear time: I won’t be too picky with this because it’s not an eau de toilette (which are supposed to last longer), but it lasted for about 1 ½ hours to 2 hours which really isn’t that bad. By 2 hours, it had completely faded from my wrists and I didn’t even wash my hands in between.
Overall review: I think that Pacifica products are really affordable. Since this tin is so cute and tiny, it’s portable. You can even keep it in your bra for when you go clubbing and no one will notice it (but it might melt though lol). The solid perfume isn’t too soft in consistency or too hard to the touch and applies easily like oil. Since it’s made of coconut and soy wax, it’s really organic and natural. It’s also eco-friendly with no preservatives and on top of that, its vegan. Which girl wouldn’t want one of these cute little tins!
Recommendation: I would recommend this to anybody. At just $9 a tin, it’s a luxury everybody can afford!

Review: Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava Perfume
Hi girls! Lately I’ve been getting into a lot of fragrances because I’m discovering new companies who make great perfumes. One of them is Pacifica which I will be reviewing today. They made a wide assortment of body butters, perfumes, solid perfumes, and body washes. They have a total of 18 scents ranging from fruity scents to wood-y scents that has something for every nose. Their perfumes are made from grain alcohol which is the purest available and contain natural and essential oils. They can be found on their website as well as other retails such as Sephora and Whole Foods Stores.
Scent Description: It’s described on the site and on the box as being “scented with sweet berry-like notes of guava, a symbol of passion, and arm coconut, surfboard wax. This blend is pure paradise.” I totally agree. If I had to describe it in my own word, it smells fruity and sweet like guava and as the perfume dries, it turns into a wearable beach-y scent.
Packaging: It comes in a cute little box that has really attractive designs. It will definitely catch your eye anywhere. It has little designs of flowers found in Hawaii on it as well as the bottle. The bottle is clear glass and holds 1.2 ounces of product. Surprisingly, I thought I lost the cap, but it’s not meant to have one. How great, one less thing to worry about!
Wear time: I applied it on my wrists and me décolleté area. I could smell it for about an hour and then it stayed on my wrists for about 2 ½ hours. Since it’s a perfume, it not meant to last super long like over 5 hours, but I can still smell it a bit after 5 hours of wear. I also washed my hand 3-4 times in between so it might last longer when not washing your hands.
Overall review: I love this scent to death. I love guava and sweet fruity scents. Since it’s not that expensive at $22, this is an affordable luxury that won’t break the bank. Since their perfumes are vegan and don’t contain artificial colors or animal ingredients and don’t test on animals, these perfumes are a big plus for animal fanatics like myself. Thanks for reading and keep requesting!
Recommendation: This is an affordable luxury must have for anyone who “digs” fruity and sweet scents like me. I think this is the perfect beachy scent!
