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.

This perfume is a revelation. Usually when I see coconut in the notes, I skip over a fragrance. I always equate coconut with the smell of suntan lotion, and suntan lotion isn't what I want to smell like when I apply perfume. As the coconut is here, though, I like it very much! The vanilla here is beautiful also. This is lovely and rich and comforting and sexy and not too sweet. If you are a lover of gourmand fragrances, it is pretty hard to go wrong with any of Terri Bozzo's Kyse Perfumes. Another home run.

Holy grail territory for me—the opening notes are so sweet and pure they kind of make me want to cry? I can't stop smelling my own wrists. I don't get the synthetic whiffs other people are detecting, for me this is just a newly cracked-open coconut, milky and fresh. The only things about it I would change are the longevity/sillage, I keep having to reapply and I'm not sure anyone but me can smell how fabulous I am. A true gourmand, and my first full bottle buy.

100% agree with the top notes stated. This is a warm creamy toasted coconut with vanilla, yummy! I think it's one of my biggest top scents now. I'd say it's not super strong, maybe need to add more quantity than stronger perfumes I own to get it to a nice spot, but so far longevity is good, average I'd say :) I am a big coconut/roasted cooconut lover so yeah, if you're like me, looking for a simple yet well made warm coconut gourmand this is it <3

Fantastic coconut. It’s not that overly sweet sickening coconut, it’s not the synthetic coconut from Pacifica, it’s not a sunscreen, and it’s not too youthful, nor too gourmand. It’s just a very creamy thick slightly sweet enchanting coconut cream. I really like it. If you want projection you need to spray it on like a maniac, which I do, and then just wait for compliments! I love it. My favorite coconut.

Holy Mounds Bar! Coconutty, sweet, and perfectly light. It’s fluffy and halo-like, exactly as I hoped it would be. I totally get what people mean when they say the smell chocolate (though i’m not sure if I’m actually smelling chocolate or if my brain just associates this tasty shredded coconut scent with chocolaty treats). It’s definitely sweet but I don’t find it cloying at all. It’s a love for me! 😍

This scent is everything I expected cloud by Ariana Grande to be! My skin tends to pull tonka pretty strongly so I would say I get alot of that in the forefront. I also get the whipped cream and a nice light slightly buttery coconut that isn’t too overwhelming as some coconut can be. Speaking of cloud... if you own it and feel it needs more omph, let me say, this is the perfect scent to pair with it!

I get a sweet, creamy vanilla and coconut ice cream with this one. I really love it. It sits so nicely on my skin creating a decent scent bubble. Edit/ I'm wearing this today layered over Sugar Works Bath and Body's body oil in the scent Vanilla Stars and Coconut Blvds. and I an employee followed me out the store to ask what I was wearing.

Delicious, decadent, almost chocolatey coconut. Less tropical or suntan lotion— more German chocolate cake. I get a decent (arms length) projection and longevity (about 5-6 hrs). This is a very fun, cozy, and unapologetic scent; I definitely have to be in the mood for it, but there’s nothing like it in my collection. 🥥🍰🥛🍫🧁

A really nice gourmand, I love it. Beautiful and balanced, vanilla with toasted coconut that doesn’t go in the suntan lotion direction. Smells like “cookies baking in the oven” was my husband’s comment before he even knew I sprayed anything. Decent performance, there’s nothing I dislike about this scent.

This is one of the very few coconut loves. I don't like when a coconut scent comes with a bitter aftertaste. This one is smooth like butter. Wish it last longer than 10-20 mins. It's addictive. I keep sniffing it.

Terri included a sample of this in my most recent order. Im very grateful cuz I will be ordering a full bottle pronto! It’s gorgeous and my hubby loves it 👍🏼

Another beautiful gourmand from Kyse. This one simply a delicious coconut vanilla bomb. Unisex and all occasion. I love this house.

Coconut cream pie . Something is a bit plasticky but I still like it alot

A toasty tonka coconut. I bet it layer awesomely with her lime fragrance.

Smells exactly like Suave coconut bodywash
