Coconut Kini

The opening is a blast of creamy coconut. It is 80% coconut. It's well-blended and somehow different enough to stand out in my sea of beachy and coconut fragrances. I think it works because it doesn't try too hard to be complicated. It's simple but done very well. The best part is it isn't overly sweet. It's has a 6 out of 10 sweetness level. I'm getting a hint of orchid more than orange blossom. Sometimes I can catch a light whiff of pineapple, like the ice cream topping kind. This one has better projection. I can see why it's one of the most popular scents in this collection. It really nails Hollister's vibe. Plus, you can layer this one easily. Bottle worthy! (Note: I don't think it smells like the men's SoCal, which had some citrus or marine notes. Maybe it uses the same type of coconut though.)

This is a fantastic fragrance! I picked it up at the weekend in Hollister just by chance as I tested it in store... bam... I had to have it! It's basically my favourite ever coconut scent (Hawaiian Tropic Golden Paradise) but with staying power. It projects and lasts. Gorgeous coconut / tropical pineapple / sunscreen scent - perfect for the summer!

Such a fun fragrance for Summer. Easy to wear, inexpensive enough to throw in your gym or beach bag and reapply. It was a blind buy for me but I love most summer scents. This does not have that fake, chemical coconut scent to me that some have. The floral and vanilla round it out nicely. Will be on repeat with me all season!

I don't get much orange from this, instead I get a lot of fruity, slightly sour pineapple. Feels like a pineapple-heavy pina colada, with some creamy coconut milk that's not as strong but still very present. Such a lovely realistic scent for the summer (or to brighten up the winter days, whatever you prefer)

Very fun summer scent, I love the coconut being mello, not too in your face or fake smelling and would be great as a hair mist at some point !
