Love Coco

For lovers of true coconut only - not the sticky sweet scent of coconut a la Hawaiian Tropic. Rather, captures the milky, nutty scent of unrefined coconut oil. I understand the references to both Thai food and tic-tacs. However, I don't get the scent of a green curry or candy, exactly. The coriander and vanilla certainly bring the slightest gourmand feel to it, but the cedar and tonka bean keep it from smelling truly edible. An utterly unique coconut, neither saccharine nor beachy but herbal-spicy and woody. Could work for a man or a woman.

If I am not mistaken, this is the perfume I tested which smells like bubble gum. It was delicious and it is made of organic and natural ingredients. On my skin, it lasted for hours and hours, keeping me quiet satisfied. However, I had to stick my nose to where i had sprayed it to actually get a whiff of it. It smelled very cute!

Finally a coconut scent that isn’t sweet. Imagine lathering yourself in a Thai curry. For the price I wanted it to last longer and project more. It does about 2 hours on me and nobody smells it around me. I absolutely love it though. It’s unique. Creamy. Spicy.

Besides coconut itself I get a strong coriander leaves which are for some reason a hate scent for me - I can't even smell the plant itself without wanting to puke. Without the strangely loud coriander leaf -element this would be perfect coconut perfume. Or even if the coriander wasn't about leaves but about seeds - that'd balance the sweetness of coconut perfectly without the strange acidity and overwhelming element that coriander leaves represent. Vanilla comes through just enough, tonka beans a bit more - making it a nice blend of exotic yet easily approachable fragrance. It's not your average coconut scent - and that's a total advantage. Anyhow, if you like or even can stand the coriander leaf component and are looking for a nice, summery day scent that has something funky yet not being too silly or childish, I would highly recommend this one. It is a bit pricey, but I would say that it's worth of the money. Lasting is good, and you can really feel the difference between the all natural perfume compared to synthetic ones when breathing and living with the scent. Most synthetic fragrances make me ill and nauseous - this one never does.

At first it is very green and earthy, like a carrot straight from the garden bed – you haven’t washed it yet and the green tops are still there. Then it transforms to a coconut oil smell. If you’ve ever used coconut oil on your skin you have to know how it smells. It’s more nutty than creamy, makes you think of the pressed and heated coconut flesh. The base sounds like a Thai dessert and sometimes even like an opened pack of tic-tac mints (Do you know what stunning, pure and round vanillin aroma I am talking about? Smell some spearmint tic-tacs before putting them into your mouth). I also get a hint of warm sand there, at least this is how my associations work. The way this perfume fades is the most interesting part. Let me agree with Raquel – it stays with you forever but you never know when and why you can start feeling the smell of it. You stick your nose to the wrists – but it’s gone. You try to smell your clothes – no, not there. But it’s somewhere around! This is a very unique feature – call it a ghost-perfume or a molecule game. I am feeling very blessed to have an opportunity to use a phtalate-free perfume that smells so nice.
