Cocco alla Vaniglia

I love this stuff. My bottle is about 2 years old and it's decadent. The liquid has darkened up. That's the trick with all Kyse frags...you really have to allow them to sit. The only one that didn't really need to was Oui Plus. That was rich and dense out of the mailbox. Also, I own Sucreabeille Oddling and that and this smell nearly identical to me. Kyse frags have been hit or miss with me but I love this one. I think this smells NOTHING like Morph Disaumano. Kyse is pure gourmand. Disaumano has a muskiness/perfuminess to it where as CALV smells like food. Edit: I just wanted to mosy on over to reiterate how yummy this perfume is. Thick, rich, decadent. Like I've been whacked over the head with coconut pulp and smeared with gooey vanilla bean paste. Lol. A little dramatic but I really do love this one. One of my bottles is about 2 years old and the liquid has gotten so dark. If you love gourmand coconut, get this! It doesn't have the greatest performance but not the worst either...but it's one of those ones where it's just so good that I'll happily respray all day long! And I think it could just be me going anosmic to it after about 2 hours bc people compliment me on it long after I last sprayed. Just get it!

Cocco alla Vaniglia is a recent release from Kyse Perfumes and another great gourmand entry. Like Cocco Tiare, it features a note of coconut, but as its name suggests, it also involves vanilla, as well as tonka and whipped cream. The whipped cream note feels like a spot-on descriptor, as the fragrance has a creaminess but a lightness, as well. It’s not as dense as, say, the more concentrated Benjoin Vanillee. Cocco alla Vaniglia exemplifies perfumer/owner Terri Bozzo’s gifts that are repeatedly on display in her catalogue: all the sumptuousness of a gourmand without the being weighed down by a cake-like density. CAV feels balanced, slightly fresh, yet wholly sweet and immersive in not only the two eponymous notes, but the whipped cream accord as well. The perfume is a good performer and the pricing remains outstanding , at $80 / $54 / $34 / $23 for 100ml / 60ml / 30ml / 15ml, respectively. I do love the 100ml option for a fragrance like this as I could see myself applying it pretty liberally. And as always, the 3ml spray decants remain reasonable for testing purposes, at under $5 each. 8 out of 10

This is exactly what i am looking for. Creamy, gourmand perfume. No flowers or citrus with coconut. Cons are that i smell more vanilla than coconut and the projectivity and longevity. Its quite weak 3 hrs max. With gourmand perfumes i usually spray twice in the beg of the day and it last till late afternoon but with this one i have to re-spray every 3-4hrs. Still its worth the money I want to give feedback on body butter I just purchased; its amazing!!! this is my treasure. It projects much better than perfume, its great for my skin and I am always in better mood when I put it on myself. My friend told me she could smell me in the hall with this cream. it even stick to your clothes.. I spent weekend in my friend's condo and even after I left, he could smell it on the sheets. I will stock this out because its amazing.

I have a hard time with coconut, and I enjoy wearing this. I get coconut, also toasted coconut, and whipped cream whipped to the buttery stage...perhaps cocoa butter? Main accords say "sweet." I get sweet but not overly sugary. Reminiscent of a coconut macaroon. I rarely find fragrances "sexy" but I think this one is kinda sexy. The following are the coconut fragrances I have tried but haven't worked for me: EL Bronze Goddess, Lavanila Vanilla Coconut, The Body Shop Coconut, Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Coco. The last one, CSP, I could wear, but wasn't a love. This one smells more niche than those listed, in a good way, like handcrafted quality. It's more toasty and buttery. If you like coconut, this is worth checking out.

This fragrance is beautiful. A delicious coconut scent with a creaminess that just makes you want to eat it. I just received this today along with some other samples. I saw a YouTuber that said KYSE fragrances needed a few weeks to really develop the true smell. I believe this is true with the other scents I received because I can barely smell them. But this little gem right here smelled amazing right away. I can't wait to see how it smells in a few weeks! If you are a coconut lover you will love this one. I am going to use it alone and to layer it.
