Jus de Coco

Comprehensive yet simplistic review of my new SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE!!! [THIS IS A SCENT MANY WANT AND IS VERY NICHE AS WELL AS OBSCURE, SO MANY DO NOT HAVE THIS. THE LINK TO FIND THIS IS NOT LISTED. I HAVE LISTED THE LINK BELOW] | V https://www.scentsplit.com/products/gourmet-jus-de-coco-sample-decants THE GOOD: - This scent is the best scent I have ever worn, and I am a man. I would say that this scent is unisex, this is because the white floral notes are undetectable (other than the faint water lily), and the dry down is heavy on coconut and vanilla bourbon - This scent is overall unisex, but leans slightly feminine and is decently sweet and coconut lactonic - The main accords for this scent are Vanilla, Coconut, Sweet, Powdery, and Lactonic - This scent 100% is for all seasons except summer - Jus de Coco is very nice for both day and night - being vibrant and sweet yet creamy and coconutty in the day and seductive and playful at night - The price point is, in my opinion, fair, despite the hefty price of $150 for 50mL, the scent is very niche, fine-smelling, extremely high quality, and for how rare this scent is, the $150 for 50mL is not at all a bad purchase - This scent is highly versatile and can be used for both fine and casual occasions - The longetivity to this scent is very good, and due to its strength, only 1-2 sprays should be used, lasting 8-12 hours whilst projecting very well - Very inviting, playful, sweet, creamy, sexy, and elegant smell (tested and girlfriend approved) - Beautiful bottle, elegant design, sturdy and fine glass - The absolute most "coconutty" smell you will EVER experience, as it smells as if you are sticking your nose into fresh, sweet coconut you just opened and splashed a few drops of vanilla bourbon into - The gourmand accords are noticeable and add a very fine sweetness as well as a beautiful richness/depth to the scent - The coconut water and coconut accords dance beautifully together and are both the most noticeable notes, which are blended perfectly - The performance on clothes is truly amazing and lasts even longer than the performance on skin - Does not smell like anything else, which adds to its beautiful uniqueness - This scent is very pleasantly musky, but not in an overpowering way that is cloying or overly pungent - Jus de Coco, while not a mostly fresh scent, still maintains a slight tropical, coconutty freshness that holds against the creamy vanilla and the sweet gourmand notes - High quality in every aspect - The most pleasant coconut water smell I have ever smelled - Powdery in the most divine way possible, without being the annoying type of powdery (the powdery accord in Jus de Coco is a pleasant backup dancer) - Much more positively lactonic/milky than Fragrantica or reviewers give Jus de Coco credit for - Amazing scent for non-food-related dates, romantic outings, and cuddling - MAJOR compliment getter and seen as mostly positive by others - Sexy, sweet, and beautiful scent trail when sprayed on pressure points (best on the nape of the neck for the most optimal trail) - Easy to love and no notes that stand out too much (all notes blend together in perfect harmony) THE BAD: - Scent is very hard to find - Extremely risky blind buy (ESPECIALLY FOR MEN WHO PREFER A MORE MASCULINE COCONUT SCENT, SUCH AS VIRGIN ISLAND WATER) - May be way too sweet for some - May be way too coconutty, creamy, or lactonic for some - Heat, sweat, or summer weather makes scent overly powdery, sweet, cloying, and headache-inducing - Absolutely not for fine dining, cramped public spaces, or for people who dislike strong, loud scents - Very strong, powerful, and projects very loudly and may turn heads (mostly in a good way, but 100% for some in a bad way) - I can 100% assure that every floral note, and white floral note, is TOTALLY ABSENT, and the very faint floral water lily fades fast on the dry down and even during the initial spray, is dominated by gourmand, coconut water, coconut, and vanilla - Peach note is totally absent (I think this is honestly for the better) - Heat or summer weather combined with wearing this scent on the skin for over 6 hours may produce a very offensive and vile BREAST OR SOY MILK scent that is awful - The fresh coconut water note still smells of coconut water, yet is more akin to coconut milk or cream - Not a fresh scent as advertised - No floral or aquatic notes whatsoever (none as advertised) - May lean far too heavily on the vanilla and sweet accords to some - Not for those who hate coconut, vanilla, or fairly sweet scents - The advertised "paradise" smell is either absent or sorely lacking
