Exotic Coconut

I love this one. I've never smelled the plasticky note that others describe. It's much more rich than the other coconut scents from Bath and Body Works, such as coconut lime verbena, fresh pineapple, and aruba coconut. All of those just smell too sticky sweet to me, like a cocktail, or candy. Exotic coconut smells more like a creamy spiced rum with toasted edges. There is something animalistic about it as well...maybe the musk note it claims. I don't smell it as true musk, though, so I'm not sure that's it. Could just be a combo of two or more notes. I can say that this is a bit overwhelming when you first put it on, esp. the body cream, which seems very concentrated. I do not like the body spray because it smells of too much alcohol or astringent. I've never owned the eau de toilette, so I can't be a good judge of that. This scent takes me a way to vacation in the carribean, and that's why I like wearing it. It instantly calms me on a stressful work day like today. Update: I've managed to find the Eau de Toilette on Ebay, and I love it. It is perfectly toasted, coconut and spices on my skin. It is a Caribbean vacation in a bottle. Yumm!

This is by far one of my favorite fragrances of all time. I sampled it only few years ago and fell in love immediately. this is not suntan lotion kind of a scent-this is toasted coconut with vanilla. I read reviews before saying it "smelled like plastic or playdo" and for the life of me, i have no idea what they are talking about. Its warm, rich toasted coconut with hints of vanilla. I have the bodyspray and it lasts very long time and I can still smell it on my shirt the next day. I will continue buying it as long as BBW makes it. It always makes me think of beaches, palm trees and fruity tropical drinks P.S. I have several suntan lotions from Hawaiian Tropics and this DOES NOT smell like suntan lotion. This is like real toasted coconut that you put on a cake.

Ok, so I don't have the edt or even the body spray of this one. I have the lotion! Several bottles after a $4 sale at BBW. in lotion form, this is wonderful for after a bath or shower. It smells great, it's actually the best coconut I have ever smelled. It's more of a roasty coconut smell, and its sweet and long lasting as a lotion will get. If I saw the body spray or edt I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Wearing this fragrance right now. It begins as a very astringent coconut on my skin. After about 30 minutes, A creamier coconut with the light backing of vanilla emerges and I am content. :) Even though it's winter, this still feels weather appropriate. I hate fruity coconut scents (like coladas), but thankfully, the fruity notes in this fragrance are nonexistent on my skin. Love, love, love.

This is my signature scent. Never gives me a headache and I layer it on (lotion & body splash). I get a nice summer coconut plus vanilla scent from it on my skin. The true test was my mother - EVERYTHING annoys her (scents) but this did not. Everyone at work loves this scent. I wear it all year round, great staying power & reasonably priced - all I need.
