Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz

I own five Aqua Allegorias from Guerlain, and Coconut Fizz has the longest performance of any others in my closet. If I can get three hours or more—albeit with light projection—than I consider that a big success. Granted, I have never paid retail, and I can understand some disappointment in that regard, but on the grey market the Aqua Allegorias can be had for a steal. These really behave much like a deluxe body spray, and all are perfect when I know later I will be switching to a different perfume. Now that I got that out of the way, what about Coconut Fizz. True to its name, coconut is the most dominant note. Maybe Freesia is there, but it’s playing a back up role. I don’t get any watermelon as other reviewers have noted. Base notes of sandalwood and ??? —I can’t identify, but I don’t think that’s too important. I do like it but I also find this one a little one dimensional, lacking depth and complexity (not that every perfume needs it, but here it’s really just a coconut fragrance). I also need to state that this has a bit of a synthetic feel to me, like a pumped up cocktail with an umbrella, it doesn’t smell 100% natural. If I was on a tropical vacation I can imagine bringing this one along, but we are living through a pandemic and flying on an airplane is not happening anytime soon. Once I get through my 5 ml decant I will be looking for a grey market deal, and would consider the smallest bottle when I find it. If you are into layering, this one would be fun to play with (but buy a decant first). My favorite from this line continues to be Lys Soleia, followed by Limon Verde. EDIT: As of 3/2021 I own Cocnut Fizz. The more I wear it, the more I love it. I know exactly what and what not to expect with the Aqua Allegoria line; I don’t expect complexity or perfume with a niche vibe. I do expect an easy to wear scent that stays close. This is straight up coconut with a bit of tropical and floral backup. Surprisingly I’m getting great performance, prompting me to go from a like to a love.

Coconut Fizz is the most refreshing Coconut I have worn to date! I had to wait until the weather was getting hot to really see how it would perform. I bought this when it was cooler a few months ago and it did not blossom then. Today I pulled it out since we are hot and muggy in Florida on the first day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Yay us! Anyway, upon first spritz I get blasted with Coconut and Bergamot. I am taken by how refreshing and yet how lush this is. As the Bergamot calms down within a minute or so I pick up on the Water fruits. Some say it smells like Watermelon and I agree with that. However, it is fruity and moderately sweet not syrupy sweet. I also detect the Freesia which is gorgeous here not being too strong but quite pronounced. This gives a beautiful floral dimension. I love it. The Tonka is lovely as well giving the composition a little warmth and creaminess. Also, the Sandalwood is light giving a very smooth woody facet. On the drydown I did notice the Coconut and Fruit become a little lighter bringing out the Citrus and Freesia even more. At this point it sort of reminds me of Addict Eau Fraiche 2014 just with Coconut and Tonka instead of Musk. Ms. Jelk did an excellent job with this one. Although I get the vibe that Thierry Wasser had some input with the composition. Regardless this is a very refined take on Coconut. I can imagine myself in French Polynesia getting out the water and being refreshed by this treat of a fragrance. The sillage is huge the first half hour then it becomes moderate for the duration which is about four to five hours. So longevity is not outstanding but re-spritzing is an invigorating treat anyway. Give it a try! 10/10

Blind buy and I am happy I did so. It starts pure coconut, very creamy one. Then the coconut milky tones start turning into coconut water - just like the real coconut ripening. At the same moment, the melon tones make an appearance to give the coconut water even more juicy vibe. I also get salty, marine notes along with melon and coconut water. During the whole time, coconut is the main note here, but it changes its expression. Little later, another big player to come to the show is freesia - the freshly cut, grassy, green one, with just a little bit of sweet little flowers that are still opening. It seems to me as if freesia directs the composition back to the creamy kind. It has a tinge of sweetness, but always remains more fresh than sweet, no sourness at all, and during the development, it transitions from fresh to creamy and back (I'd say more fresh than creamy, as the melony and later flowery green vibes seem to be more dominant). The coconut is certainly the boss here, but it doesn't give me that suntan lotion vibe like for example Terracotta or TF Soleil Blanc. I am going to pour this all over myself all spring long. Probably summer, too. It's bright and comforting at the same time. Edit: hours later, it seems to be greener and greener. To a point it reminds me of Philosykos.

It's so funny, because one day I was just randomly thinking about this perfume. I've been so curious about it ever since I've seen it, but as soon as I went to go purchase I saw it was discontinued, and then it was nowhere to be found. One day, it just popped in my mind. So I went on eBay and searched. And lo and behold, I found a bottle for an absolute STEAL. And I am so elated with my purchase. This fragrance is absolutely beautiful. I could understand why some people wouldn't like it, and I can already tell just from application that the performance isn't going to be out of this world for this, it's definitely a much lighter fragrance that stays close to the skin, but the way the smells. It is so lovely. It smells like a bougie tropical vacation and I love those types of scents. The coconut is lovely, there's an aquatic quality to it but not marine at all, and its so light and airy. This is perfect for a casual summer day, it smells expensive but not overbearing. I'm going to try so hard not to eat this bottle up this summer, just because it is so hard to find and resellers are really charging top dollar for this. I'm lucky that I found it for the price that I did but now that I have it I never want to let it go! Gorgeous fragrance.

Such a wonderful refreshing coconut fragrance for this Summer heat, it's just what the perfume doctors ordered. It really does have something to it that seems to "fizzle" and has a sparkling quality. I really don't get any of the other notes listed, just a sweet coconut that fizzes like sparkling water on the skin. Unfortunately that sparkling water quality also presents itself in the performance department. I got about 3 hours wear time out of this scent before it just faded into barely nothing. I do really enjoy the scent, and due to it's nature I wasn't expecting all day longevity, but I wish it maybe could've just lasted a couple more hours. The sillage is never really strong, it's moderate for maybe the first hour, hour and a half. This is the double edged sword that comes with cooling Summer fragrances I suppse. They just do not hold up in the sweltering heat. Still, you find yourself misting them with abandon anyways just to get a few more minutes of sweet relief. I love the scent and the way it makes me feel, but I dislike the poor performance for the asking price. But as soon as it goes down to less than half that on eBay, I'll be buying backup bottles.

I blind bought this one because I knew it was discontinued and I got an incredible price. I honestly wasn't expecting to like it much because I'd heard some less than great impressions of it. But, I really like it and it scratches that coconut suntan lotion itch. It reminds me Arquiste Sydney Rock Pool but it's a little sweeter and performs better. There's some Tom Ford Soleil Blanc here too. I was surprised how long it stuck to my skin in the high heat. I got somewhere around 8 hours and my skin eats fragrance. Guerlain is such a great house, and several from the Allegoria line punch well about their price point on the secondary market. If you can find it reasonably priced, it bests things like Beach Walk, Soleil Blanc EDT, and Sydney Rock Pool, and can hang with higher end stuff like Virgin Island Water, Soleil Blanc EDP, and Malibu Party In The Bay, although this has much more coconut than these on my skin. If you don't like coconut, you won't like this one. Maybe I'm sensitive to coconut, but I find my bottle to be very strong so I've got to be careful with the trigger. I don't go noseblind to this. YMMV. Scent 8/10 🥥 Performance 8/10

This is my first Aqua Allegoria perfume, but it will not be my last. Good Golly, this smells good.. worth every full price penny I spent on it. This smells like cracking open a fresh coconut on the beach, but you smell the whole coconut. The fresh coconut water, the milky coconut flesh, and the warm woody shell. Fresh, warm, and beautiful. Perfect for summer. In the drydown, I get a hint of sweetness, and a tiny hint of soapy freesia, but mostly this is a fresh and woody coconut. If you are looking for a sweet tropical smell, this is not it. This is coconut without the sweet pineapple, booze, and suntan oil. I am not a fan of tropical beaches, or tropical smells, so to me this fragrance is perfect. I am in fragrance bliss. I have not quite figured out why it's called Coconut Fizz yet. I don't really smell anything fizzy, but maybe I need to wear it a few times, or maybe it's just a fun name? Fizz is fun! This is a fantastic EDT. Performs better than some of my EDP fragrances. Oh, and the color! Pretty clear light blue liquid, like a tropical ocean. 💙 I'm getting the honey one next.

One of the things I absolutely love and admire in every Aqua Allegoria I've had the joy of wearing, is how realistic they smell without losing perfumey elegance. The coconut in Coconut Fizz is for real, but it doesn't make me feel like "do I want to smell like an actual tin of coconut cream?" 😁 I normally don't look for coconut fragrances, because I find them too sweet or too gourmand, I don't know, just not something I would normally buy. But Coconut Fizz is different. It's warm and comforting, but it's also clean and fresh, there's a lightness to it and it is not sweet. I loved it a lot at first try, it instantly got a place among my most favourite scents - right next to all the greens, citrus and other unsweetened beauties. So I would say, if you normally love coconut perfumes, don't blind buy it, because you may be in for a surprise. And if you never liked coconut scents, you may want to give Coconut Fizz a chance, because... you may be in for a surprise 😄

Coconut Fizz is one of the most unique, delicious, pleasing and classy zesty-flowery-coconut scents I have ever smelled. Fresh and sophisticated; there is nothing cloying, sticky or gourmandish about it, which I really appreciate, because I have plenty of lovely perfumes in that category already (too many). It is a bit stronger/more potent then I expected from reading and watching reviews, but it isn't dense or heavy in any way, so Spring and Summer are the months where I suspect this one will shine and perform its very best. I have a 125 ml bottle, and I will definately try layering this perfume with some of my sweeter and more cloying coconut and woody scents 8 hours+ later, and I still smell it on me. It is soft and beautiful, but it is noticeably still there. My skin usually eats up perfumes, so this one has taken me by wonderful surprise. It is Winter in Denmark now, so this will also be GREAT when Spring arrives :D

This is the most beautiful coconut scent in my opinion. Not sickly sweet, synthetic or reminiscent of sun lotion, just a wonderful essence of real coconut backed up by beautiful floral watery notes. For me it is heaven in a bottle. At first I didn’t think it was strong or long lasting at all but one day after I had been wearing a different scent that I couldn’t really smell on myself, I sprayed this a few times and could smell it for ages after, so maybe it is stronger than I first perceived. I don’t care though, I blind bought this despite the price tag, as I just knew it would be something I would love. Perfect lockdown pick me up! The pale blue liquid and elegant beehive bottle just add to the attraction for me. I have a couple of the Aqua Allegoria range, and this is hands down my favourite, it’s become one of my favourite fragrances full stop. It makes me think of beaches, warm exotic breezes and sunshine.

This was a like at first sniff that turned into a major love very quickly. It's even in my Top 5. I really get the "water fruits" note. I am surprised that "aquatic accord" isn't higher up on Fragrantica's list. This is a super refreshing, happy summery fragrance. Lots of coconut water, watermelony accords up top, with a splash of that citrus. The dry down is sweet and a touch creamy, freesia/sandalwood. I don't really get the tonka. It isn't complicated, but it isn't boring. Smells like a beach holiday (but lighter and fresher than MM Beach Walk or Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus)! Highly recommend you grab it if you can find it. So sad it is discontinued!!!! I grab a backup bottle whenever I see a deal because unfortunately it has weak performance and I have to drown myself in it. Longevity: C- (2-3hrs) Projection: C+ (4-6ft for the first hour, closer bubble after that) Scent DNA: A (simple but loveable)

This fragrance is so beautiful! I cant believe the ratings are low. To me, this is what victorias secret body sprays USED to smell like when they were on top before they went super cheap and tacky. You can smell the watermelon and the coconut and it is so fresh!! its not a perfume scent whatsoever. Instead its a clean out of the shower, wear to the gym or in scorching hot weather. Its clean or should I say fresh because theres no soapiness. Its your favorite high end bath bomb! Its coconut watermelon made by Guerlain.. How can we not love it?? Thank you Guerlain! I have been waiting for someone to bring back the old creative (actually good) style fragrances as Victoria's Secret used to do when they had second skin satin line with Azurine.. if you remember those days youll like this one :) XO

Wow, this is amazing! I didn't know it was even released when I spotted it at Sephora and sprayed it out of curiosity. It's the absolute summer hit fragrance for me, I was instantly transported to a tropical beach. It's very prominently coconuty, yet fruity and very marine on me. Very beachy, even though sand is not listed among the notes. I like the fact the coconut is very present, but not overpowering like in Terracotta, just subtle coconut water with hint of flowers and woods. Silage is nice, longevity on fabrics is neverending I guess?! I sprayed it on my scarf and put it in the wardrobe completely forgetting about it and now a month later I still can smell that blissful breezy accord. A must try for coconut and summer fragrances lovers.

I have a hard time finding coconut-forward fragrances that don't smell like sunscreen/sun tan lotion. My search has come to an end (unless I find something that can top this!!). This is coconut water - sweet, refreshing, and bright. And so watery! I feel like I'm going down a water slide of coconut water. Such a perfect summer scent, especially in super hot and humid climates. The opening reminded me of watermelon candy and I actually find Coconut Fizz more reminiscent of watermelon than Flora Cherrysia. As the base notes start to show themselves, there is a little bit of a plasticky vibe however I don't find this to be a big issue. It could also be interpreted as soapiness, but if it is, it is not heady or powdery. Also - rather milky.

I realise a lot of people are looking for their ultimate coconut beach scent. I probably do that too, but I have an advantage still being a perfume newbie - my perfume world is still small. I understand that there is a great unexplored territory out there, but summer is close and I'm lucky this that this one has a great longevity on my skin. It is linear, but I want my summer frag to be linear. It is a fruity, light and refreshing coconut, and I've already received compliments for it. A very nice scent, I think, and it gets a strong like from me. EDIT: I love this. It is so bouncy, fruity and bright, the citrus comes out salty, and it makes me happy. Longevity is great on me. Bought it on the grey market for 50 $ +. Yey!

I could sum up this review in one sentence. Quite simply, the best hot day, summer fragrance for women on the market. It’s that simple. An exceptional summer fragrance. The initial spray delivers the most amazing coconut scent I’ve ever encountered in a fragrance, with a fresh citrus edge from the bergamot. It then settles on a tropical, almost cocktail dry down with just enough wood and tonka bean sweetness to bring a smile to your face each and every time you move. A brilliant example of what it is. It doesn’t project beyond your space, but on a 45 degree day in central Australia. That’s what you want. Just an amazing fragrance. 10/10

This is beautiful and refreshing with great sillage. I tried a sample and now own a FB. This smelled better than Terracotta on my skin. How would I describe the scent? It smells like a beachy aquatic floral with coconut - the bergamot creates the fizzy opening and the coconut, the creaminess with the tonka and sandllewood. Some coconut scents are too heavy in summer and the coconut too pronounced, but this one is just the right balance. This immediately reminded me of a combination I have worn before but better. I wore Vanilla Vibes layered with Hibiscus Palm in the past, and boom, this is that combination but more smooth.

Perfect coconut scent. Doesn't smell cheap at all. Instead it smells sophisticated, clean and tropical at the same time. Imagine you're in a white bikini cover-up, under a yellow striped beach umbrella, hiding behind your new designer shades, gazing at the Mediterranean sea. A breeze gently touches your hair, and now you can smell the coconut fizz you put on behind your ears. As a summer scent, its longevity is not that bad. But yeah you'll still need to reapply during the day. I haven't been able to find any coconut perfume better than the coconut fizz. Wish it didn't get discontinued.

I love this fragrance. The watery fruit note is reminiscent of cucumber. Not sure of what it should actually be but I smell cucumber. It isn't intense but noticeable. This is just a gently sweetened coconut water. Makes me think of filling a spray bottle with coconut water and spritzing your sun-kissed skin. I get around 6 hours of wear time with 5 sprays and I would say the sillage is a good distance from me. My hubby could smell me when he walked in the door from work and I was in the kitchen which is over 12 feet away. I recommend if you like coconut.

im just soooo sad i discovered it too late.. someone sold off her half used bottle and i bought it, not knowing it's been discontinued. now im heartbroken coz i cant find it anywhere else anymore. Many say Beach Blossom by Jo malone smells similar, but not at all!!!! JMBB has more green and definitely wayyy fresher. the coconut in JMBB is like the backup dancer for 1 minute plus....while GCF is creamier and dreamier beautiful coconuty scent..pls Guerlain why oh why. bring this back pls. Rename it, and bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!
