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.

Love Coco (thank you for the sample Amarah!!), is a soft scent that is harmoniously balanced with the other ingredients. Nothing screams "here I am" - not even the coconut - but it's rather as if every note is contributing to let the coconut shine in its best light, and for me, it sure does. I am 50 now and this is the first coconut scent I would actually wear as a daytime fragrance other than at the beach. It is at the same time fun, lively (but not in your face), soft, cuddly and cozy. I must say I love "Love Coco". It might be that the current hot and humid Australian Summer is just perfect for this lovely scent, but hey, I am the last one to complain. It's a cool day today and I must say that I love it even more.

Opens with lots and lots of coconut. Soon the coconut is joined by dry cedar notes and something spicy-- I dont smell coriander per se but it does remind me of curry& coconut beef stew. Tonka and vanilla are in the background ensuring the herbs stay in place and giving a little sweetness. The drydown is a sweet and soft coconut with a hint of green cedar notes and something that smells of tictacs. Sillage is moderate, longevity is weak on me. Gorgeous scent, love the dry coconut. It reminds me tiny bit of James Heeley's Coccobello, the tictac note is there also as well as the dry green cedar. Shame about the longevity, if it lasted a bit longer I'd definitely get a full bottle. Maybe a decant!

This is a very interesting deconstruction of the concept of 'coco'-a Bachtinian take on the carnivalesque nature of the eponymous ingredient. Coriander jumps right to the fore at first spritz, after which it's coco, but not in its beach oil incarnation. The coriander stays with it for quite some time, constantly undermining its otherwise cloying sweetness.I am not yet at the base note vanilla stage, but I am afraid it might disappear before I finish typing this. I like this as an olfactory experience, even though I wouldn't wear it. Its nature would probably be aided by sun and a gust of wind by the sea.

This is wonderful, cool, green and refreshing! I love the coriander with the coconut, ah - what a great blend. On me this smells really nice. It works best for colder weather as well - which makes it cold, almost metallic. And that's cool, different. Not your usual coconut smell. And I love coconut. I used to be addicted to the coconut perfume-oil you could buy at the Body Shop. This is like a sophisticated, grown-up version of that, sweeter, oil. I need to get my hands on a proper sample of this so I can write a proper review.

I totaly get the thai food reference here. This is actually a scent that smells very much like "real" coconut to me. Not a dessert in sight. No sugar, just raw coconut. Don't think I ever smelled any scent quite like it. Very interesting byt not for everyday use, I'd say. Don't really smell the vanilla at all but I do get the coriander. Only after reading it's there though, so I know to "look for it". I definately get a green feeling straight away though.

This is a very unusual coconut perfume. Not sweet at all despite the vanilla and Tonka bean. Yes it’s reminiscent of Thai food but not that much. The coriander is very noticeable even more so than the coconut is at some point. I don’t think I would want a full bottle of this but it’s the kind of creativity that I like very much and it doesn’t smell like you just came back from the beach.

It smells exactly like some of my scented childhood toys in the 1990's! It's not overly sweet, very different from coconut in food or drinks, it's more of a neutral, plasticky coconut reminiscent of the scented stickers, the plastic animal babies wearing dungarees and those cupcake dolls that turned inside out. Very nostalgic.

The opening of this feels like a green coconut which is probably the coriander talking. Not my cup of tea. The drydown however is a plain dry coconut milk, neither gourmand or tanning oil coconut but a clean one. I quite enjoy it. Too bad the longevity is pretty bad, a few hours at most.

I do love a good coconut, so I had high hopes for this 100% natural coconut fragrance. The coconut smells soft, clean and natural. Unfortunately the savoury green note tips it into Thai food territory for me. Delicious smelling, but not what I want to smell like!

If pine trees grew coconuts the Finnish forests would smell like this.

It's a very plastic coconut at first... then you get a creamy fresh coconut with a little minty feel that comes from the coriander and cedar I think... then end feels sweet and spicy. Not a sugary smell at all. I don't know... I don't hate it but I don't like it either ^^. Not for me but great for someone looking for a coconut that is not sugary.

I got a sample of this, and I'm not sure if it is old or what but when I first sprayed it on, all I could smells was carrier oil. No perfume. About an hour later I could smell some coconut and vanilla. It dis last all day but so faint that I have to hold my wrist to my nose and inhale really deep to smell it. Honestly even if it is an old sample, I would rather just get a coconut body spray for $12 from BBW that I know I can smell, and won't fade over time like a lot of perfumes do that are in a natural oil base. If I were going to spend asuch as this costs I would get something else. From what I can smell, it is pleasant, but not spectacular. Good for spring and summer. Not one for my wishlist.

Not working for me, even though I love the concept of perfume with all natural ingredients. Coconut is nice, not sickly sweet, but I also get an equally strong burnt rubber smell. Coconut and burnt rubber. After 4 hours, only a soft version lingers.

As with Vamp, this dried down to a waxy, synthetic scent on my skin, that is difficult to describe. Ironic, since it is 100% natural. I wish I liked it, but again, how hard can you try to like a perfume, regardless of the fact it is natural.

Is this the same as "Love coconut"? If it is, it was horrible. I think you must be into any kind of coconut scent (even artificial) if you enjoy this. The coconut note isn't the prettiest.
