Coccobello

Absolutely cracking! (Oof, I'm so sorry for the terrible punning, but this is such a light and fresh and happy scent it makes me feel all silly and don't-careish.) Totally photorealistic coconut at first - astonishingly good, with not even a hint of sun cream or fake-ness, just gorgeous, melting, rich, natural, herbal goodness. Beautiful wafts of real palm leaf, an overwhelming sense impression of a secluded little white-sand island all your very own, with young creamy coconuts within arm's reach. Lovely tang of salt and dry wood too. The only bum notes I can detect are a tiny bit of uneasy, slightly musky floral (but it's a safe distance off) and the pretty feeble longevity - that ravishing coconut burst of the open stays around for just under an hour and the smellscape later on is just a little less beautiful. Otherwise this is blissful, the most divine tropical beach you've never had to yourself. Bear in mind: I gravitate to dark moody scents, and fake/cloy/artificial coconut smell makes me heave. This one seduces me completely and makes me want to change into something in a loud tropical print almost immediately. So: in its class, this is a coconut conqueror and yes I *am* completely nutty about it.

Ecstatic to finally receive a sample of this today. This shit smells like the sultriest, handsomest 30-year-old at the Mango Deck. He wants to walk down the moonlit beach with you because the party is too loud. I can't really say anything here that hasn't been said. Upon opening, there's an incredible blend of salt, booze, coconut, and greenery. Very salty (and so good). Definitely an outdoor scent -- I noticed it perk up a lot more when I stepped outside in the breeze. It did start to fade significantly after about half an hour, but I might've just been nose blind from huffing my arm. I ended up showering after that, so I'll check back when I test it for real. This juice is no joke. High hopes for the dry-down. Update (06/11/2021): Disclaimer -- my sample of this is in a vial, which might affect the performance. Either I'm not putting enough on, or this just isn't very strong on my skin. It fades pretty fast on me too. Nevertheless, I'm still in love with the smell. The woody base notes come to life quicker than expected, and they're nice and dry. The saltiness remains and the greenery fades. Hopefully I can afford a full bottle of this soon. I'm whipped. x jon

I'm in love! ♡♡♡ So comely-fresh, realistic and mouth watering green coconut accord!🧉And the salty vanilla accord with the buttery and sweet whiteflower scent of gardenia evoke the feeling of creamy sunscreen lotion and the beach salty breeze which carries the white flower scent from the far. And the palm note with santal makes me see in front of my eyes the coconut-palm trees and makes me feel i'm sunbathing on abadoned, white sandy beautiful wild-nature tropical beach and drinking fresh coconut water. This gives me the perfect, nature close & calm tropical vacation vibe♡ This one layering with the also coconut watery and silky-airy vanillary Mugler Alien godess is Heaven!♡ ( alien godess is more vanillary, but also has the moutwatering coconut water in it, but not so potent. While cocobello is totally a green coconut scent with some salty vanilla in the background. So they are soo perfect together for me! This combo is the scent what i was aiming for to wear at summer. ♡ 🧉🍈🍦🏝

This may be one of the best summer fragrances I have got my nose on to date. Now grant it I am currently undergoing a rough transition from my beloved dark resenious and smoky winter fragrances I so adore. . This fragrance hits all levels of what a summer, tropical getaway scent should reach. Coconut is an obvious note but it's light. It's there but the bergomonte citrus vibe is just as present and there's a lot more going on here than one may think. Now I was shocked to see this on the feminem side, even though I don't roll with the whole gender bias. This can easily be worn on a gentleman as the citrus here is done in a masculine way. The coconut is still there to remind one that it's summer time and it's here to have fun and of cheer. A playful scent that captures the essence of a attractive young man or woman on a weekend getaway to the tropical islands . . . Perfect. Scent 9/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 8/10 Quality 9/10 Overall 8.5/10

The best ever coconut perfume. I LOVE coconut fragrances but the issue I have that most of times the creations are way too sweet to my liking and the scents become cloying. Eg. BBW coconut focused scents, or Comptoir Sud Pacific. Virgin Islands Water comes close to Coccobello but with some reason that turns into bugspray on my skin. Coccobello is very well balanced green and fresh coconut scent. Even though it's unisex and the name "bello" may suggest a better fit for males I find this is beautiful on females. Especially in the middle of the transformation when the flowers and vanilla dominate. My only problem is that there is no smaller version available then 100ml which is quite pricey. Otherwise a must have for coconut lovers!

I really loved Cococabana by P.de Nicolai, but I never got a chance to buy a full size bottle and now it's discontinued :( So...why am I writing this? Yes, Cocobello reminds me of Cococabana somehow. I just found a nearly empty sampler of Cococabana and compared the two scents. Cococabana is a much heavier scent with this nice bitter orange twist in the beginning. The green notes are more present, therefor Cocobello is a bit more woody with a noticable sandalwood note in the end. On my skin Cococabana has the better longevity and a heavier sillage, but i like Cocobello. It's definitly worth a try and can be an alternative for Cococabana Fans. (english is not my mother tongue. Please be indulgent to me :) )

Opens watery, like coconut water and the husk, or maybe the whole palm tree. Dries down with a strong sea salt note and the coconut and creamy sandalwood. I wouldn't say it's sunscreeny exactly but more like you had sunscreen on and you just got out of the ocean. I feel like I can smell the sand too. Very evocative of being on a tropical beach. I could see wearing this whenever I want that feeling. It's totally unisex. This was a like for me when I first tried my sample in spring but now in the heat of summer, I LOVE it! Coccobello really captures something realistic about the beach, not just an idealized sketch of the beach. If I close my eyes I can feel the sun and sand and hear the waves crashing.

I was looking for a realistic beach scent and this is it. I can't understand why people are reminded of being at the beach when they smell something like VIW. I've never been to one that smells like artificial lime and ultra sweet coconut candy. Coccobello is sea salt, palm trees, sand, and water from a fresh green coconut. This isn't one I would wear to smell good for other people. I wear it for myself to conjure memories and to be transported to my favorite vacation spots when I'm stuck at home. It's not a performance beast but I can smell it without putting my arm to my nose, which is perfect because these smells are subtle when I'm at the beach. This gets a 9/10 from me.

You know when you know you’re going to love it. Edit: she’s arrived! Not quite what I expected but haven’t given it long enough to dry down. Soft and gentle. Less green than what I thought. Slight plastic. Complex. I’m liking it so far.... This is a skin scent as far as I can tell. I’m hoping that changes. I have sprayed about 15 times on clothes and skin and having to push my nose into skin and clothes to be able to smell anything. This has happened the past 3 times I’ve worn it so upped the sprays each time. I don’t want to admit it to myself but I am a bit disappointed about it. I want to be able to smell it more.

Cocobello (now renamed Palm) is a very interesting fragrance for the summer. It's a great take on coconut with some hints of vanilla and sea salt. It reminds me of the smell of warm beach sand, the coconut is interestingly used here, almost with a roasted or caramelized scent. The salt balances the sweetness of the coconut, and the whole provides a very interesting take on a summer fragrance, not too sweet or fresh. It lasts the whole day on the skin and clothes, and has a moderate sillage. This fragrance will definitely set you apart in the summer.

I get the fresh coconut milk, potent gardenia and the green note from the palm leaf. It's a shame these weaken so quickly. I like the addition of the salt that for me adds a cooling aspect. The soft sandalwood, benzoin and wood note base suits this perfectly and these notes last the longest. It never gets too strong or cloying. A lovely summer scent with moderate silage and average longevity. This is actually one of my favourite summer scents because smells tropical yet most importantly fresh. Its not too sweet either.

Alas, coconut for adults! Not the typical teenage: "here's some coconut milk from the store, lets drench you in it and see if you get a headache",- but mature: "please climb the palmtree and get that nice coconut, so that we could mix some lovely coctails with the juice". The whole process of getting through palm leaves and mixing a drink takes about an hour, but then it is perfection. Warm, lactonic, coconut based, with a pinch of smoked salt virgin coctail. Very summery and relaxing.

This is really nice, but I think it would be better on a younger man or woman if worn alone. I also have a sample of Creed VIW and it smells nothing like this - the Creed is like a barely there lime scent on me. This has a definite summer vibe, but not enough coconut for me. I get the palm, very fresh and green, the ozone and salt, and maybe a little woodiness. Longevity was great though, maybe if I mixed it with something a little sweeter... I will have to give it another try.

I am surprised how much I like this scent after trying the sample a few times. When I first sprayed it, I thought the coconut was too intense and suntan lotion smelling but when it dries down, on my skin it becomes the most evocative "day after the beach" scent with a creamy mix of coconut, salt and woods. I think I would wear this any time of year, day or night, but it's certainly a fun summer day scent that brings the beach to wherever you are.

This stuff is a mystery still till this day... it’s most certainly coconut through and through, fresh yet dusty if you were to take the hairs from a coconut and isolate them completely from the meat... you would have this. There is something holding it together it’s neither sweet nor floral yet it is lol. I detect zero “funk” or Body Odor. I’m also very sensitive to vanilla and I can’t smell one drop of it. All in all I’ll give it a 7/10

One of my summer favourites. I live near the beach in The Hague, The Netherlands, and typically our springs and summers are cool (but usually also with some hot days), and this fragrance really suits the weather here. On colder days it gives you a summery feeling and a nice cozy, airy hug of coconut, gardenia and light woods, and on hot days it has a bit of a cooling, refreshing effect that prevents you from feeling sticky.

This is a hot-day-on-the-beach-drinking-cool-coconut-water-straight-from-the-fruit in a bottle. Warm skin that smells like suntan lotion and salt. Coccobello is warm and refreshing at the same time. It‘s not some in your face sugary coconut monster; it is green, creamy, delicate, clean and subtle. Unlike most coconut scents it doesn‘t need a beach and ocean backdrop to feel right. Any summer day anywhere will do.

Gardenia, palm leaf and coconut create a unique, greenish, tropical scent. These three notes are actually all I detect and to me it smells almost like a fig and coconut blend. The dry down is a little less green than the opening and even slightly balmy due to the vanilla and benzoin. Sillage and longevity are both pretty amazing on my skin. ❤❤❤❤

This is one of the best coconut fragrance for me- very vell balanced , absolute unisex and extremely smart. Now is fall but I need another one full bottle- nothing is similar like Cocobello. The Palm leaf and the sea salt is so good with the coconut and the santal_gardenia gives a pleasant creamyness to it. Perfect Parfume. LOVE.

Creamy, coconutty sandalwood yet still fresh and green at the start. Tropical without a hint of sunscreen or fruit. Feels like the beach, not the overcrowded kind with people sunbathing all over, but like the kind that you have to hike to get to with no one else around, undisturbed by humans.
