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.

This scent only works great in the edt. The scent screams summer and is heavenly on sun kissed skin! Smells like coconut, I give thanks to this scent which single handedly made my husband fall in love with me (he's a surfer). Wish they hadn't discontinued it now I can only get at certain times of the year.

Wow, what a find! I picked this scent up at the SAS in the body lotion and I love it! Not the typical 'sweet' coconut. It i tempered by some creamy vanilla and a few other notes that give it almost a slightly floral feel. This is coconut for non-coconut lovers! Absolutely lovely.

Exotic coconut is a perfect summer scent. I love its coconut and vanilla sweetness and wear it often. Its notes remind me of my favorite coconut ice cream I order at Thai food restaurants. I wear it most days of summer and it is truly delicious and decadent.

I am very, very impressed by this coconut scent because it does not smell too synthetic. It's warm and cozy and the right about of sweetness, it's just perfect. I'm just in love with coconut and b&bw has absolutely captured the perfect balance. Love it!

I love this. I actually only have it in the body spray. I've gotten compliments when I wear it. People know me by this scent or have for the last year since I've worn it a lot. lol

This is one of my most favorite coconut scents ever. It smells like toasted coconut. It’s sexy and intoxicating!

i have the body mist,and i love it!

I bought the matching shower gel and body lotion at the semi-annual sale and I quite like it; it's great for summer. I have VS's coconut passion and I think this one resembles it somewhat. I don't get any weirdness in the notes either. I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I have a few like this that smell really nice and not overpowering. When my hubby smelled it he said, "Yum! I smell coconuts! But then he added "You smell like tanning lotion!" I know he meant it in a nice way and yes, most tanning lotions have a coconut smell, but I told him that really wasn't what I was going for with the scent. He then said "Aww hon, it smells really good and I like the way it smells on you!" So if he likes it, I like it too. And no, to me it doesn't smell like tanning lotion. :)

one of my fav. bath and body works scents. it does seem to work well in the winter b/c of the vanilla.today i wore the body lotion with victorias secret sexy little things noir perfume and they go great together! (they have some of the same notes :)

This smells like an exotic summer on a beach, all straw hats and drinking out of coconut cups. It's summer in a bottle for sure. I don't smell any fruit, but that is fine with me, I'm happy with smelling like a delicious coconut.

The one scent I have ever managed to find that smells exactly like '70s Coppertone to me. Not even CB I Hate Perfume's At the Beach 1966 did the trick for me.

This acually smelled good on my mother in law. I prefer the pineapple.

Ugh, I was disappointed in this. Exotic coconut is not my favorite scent, but I find it perfectly okay in shower gel and lotion form. So, when the EDT was on sale, I figured it would be okay too. I don't know whether it's down to skin chemistry, or that the EDT smells remarkably different from the other Exotic Coconut products, but this smelled like rancid suntan lotion on me (while the other products tend more towards a sophisticated coconut). I didn't actually have to go wash this stuff off, but still, it was pretty bad.

When I bought this scent, I wanted to like it so much, since I love anything coconut-scented. However, the vanilla overpowered the coconut. They should have named this scent "Exotic Vanilla Coconut". Such a disappointment! I'm still on the lookout for the perfect coconut scent! (Besides suntan lotion! LOL)

I have a blind bought huge bottle (240 or something ml) because I love Yves Rocher's coconut and coconut in general so much I wanted a backup and this came so very cheap. But this is not far as good as YR's coconut. It has a chlorine like side smell. Maybe from the plastic bottle? Coconut and chlorine, not the best combo. So I keep the YR coconut for a pure coconut scent in itself, and use this one for layering with summer scents, it's good for that. I layer it with YR Monoi and Cabotine Eau Vivide, and I'll try it with Serpentine. I don't regret buying it because it's good for layering, and together with this I also got a 88 ml bottle of Vanilla Bean Noel which is a lovely caramel scent. Update: Oh yes, they make each other so much better with Serpentine. They won't work on their own but together they form a great summer scent.
