Vanilla Coconut

For me this smells like a delicious coconut milk drink, sipping it while enjoying the sun at the beach in the tropics. I get everything in the notes pyramid above except for the wood. With some beachy coconut scents, I often get a sun tan lotion vibe, but not so with this one. It's mostly a deliciously soft and powdery sweet vanilla mixed with a ripened and milky coconut. It's very sweet but I don't find it tooth achingly sugary, it's more of a subdued sweetness, very creamy and milky. The vanilla adds a warmth to the fragrance as well, so it really melds with my skin. I get some lovely white florals that seems to round everything out and add some sophistication and powderiness to the scent. It's not just plain coconutty gourmand, it's beautiful and soft and feminine, fun and flirty. Ideal for summer and those cooler days you need a pick me up. It's so juicy and creamy, I find it simply delicious and will wear it all summer. Also, it's a huge bonus that it's an all-natural sort of scent. Score.

A surprisingly beautiful gourmand! I discovered Lavanila Coconut Vanilla through the Discovery Set, and it was the only one I truly loved. At first, I was disappointed because all I could smell was the tiare flower, which reminded me of a cheap monoï fragrance I wore as a teenager. But when I went back to it, I realized the delicious, fresh gourmand vanilla had been there all along — I just hadn’t noticed it at first! On my skin, I completely fell in love. It’s sweet and gourmand without being heavy, perfect for a hot tropical climate, and the projection and longevity are surprisingly good for a non toxic fragrance. It reminds me a little of Dulce by Rosie Jane and Hypnotic Poison by Dior, two fragrances I love. The name: “Vanilla Coconut” sounds so generic and really doesn’t do this beautiful, addictive fragrance justice. I didn’t love the rest of the Discovery Set, but this one completely surprised me. I’ll definitely buy a full bottle!

Vanilla Coconut is simply delicious, and easily the most gourmand of the Lavanila scents I have tried. I don't get much of a suntan oil vibe out of this; rather, it's all about the gourmand. Even though it is foody, it is not sweet to an intolerable extent. In comparison to Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar, Vanilla Coconut is less sweet but somehow richer. Many great descriptions have already been given about the deliciousness of this fragrance, so there is not much more I can add in that respect. But I would say that, strangely enough, there is something in this that gives off the feel of crushed Oreo cookies. Although there is no chocolate listed as a note, I get the scent of crumbly, dry cacao powder amidst all the toasty coconut cream. The tiare also adds a wonderful buttery-thick and luscious tropical aspect to balance things out.

Vanilla Coconut is like eating an entire box of double vanilla creme sandwich cookies while wearing sun screen. The thick sugar and vanilla reign over the composition, though the coconut and tiare are present, albeit in the background. Longevity is outstanding, though the drydown is almost exclusively vanilla cream cookie. An intense sweet and direct natural smelling vanilla. I highly recommend purchasing the rollerball of Vanilla Coconut as opposed to the full-sized spray bottle, because it is so sweet and rich that it is fairly easy to grow tired of it. As others have stated, a tiny bit goes a long way.

For reference: I’m a woman in her late 40’s. I originally got this as a sample size, but liked it enough to buy a larger size. Opens with nutty coconut and vanilla. Dries down to a coconutty vanilla with soft florals. Definitely a true coconut smell. This one is more intimate. Only lasts for 1-2 hours on my skin. Lavanila makes my favorite vanilla scents, so far. I have this one (Vanilla Coconut), as well as Vanilla Grapefruit and Pure Vanilla. Vanilla Coconut doesn’t last as long as Pure Vanilla, but still smells wonderful.

I adore this fragrance!!! If you love vanilla and anything to do with coconut you will love it too! The top notes give a powdery fragrance that smells quite similar to fake tan, but in a good way!! Every time I wear this I have people ask me what fragrance it is:) I find I get around 5 hours of decent wear from it, it’s my absolute go to fragrance so I don’t mind reapplying. I have gone through bottles of this and I feel like I will always have one on hand for the rest of my life!!!

I got the Vanilla Coconut rollerball. Upon first applying it, it's vanilla/rootbeer. Actually, I thought of Play-Doh. But, as it settled, it warmed up a bit, and the coconut emerged. I haven't detected any sandalwood or flowers. Somehow, this manages to be a clean, crisp vanilla coconut, without being sticky candy sweet. The name Vanilla Coconut sounds like it guarantees the opposite, but it manages to pull that off! I love my sugary scents, but I love this one too.

I've seen this in stores but never really paid much attention to it. I was in today and decided to give it a shot and oh man, it's delicious. Most perfumes change on my skin, so I was expecting it to go super sweet. But after I put it on it was like wrapping up in a warm vanilla toasted coconut blanket (Not literal food, but you know what I mean). Strong enough to smell a ways away, but it's more like a soft whisper rather than a screaming look at me type.

Totally love this. My friends said I smelled like play doh in a good way and my patients told me I smell like a cookie lol :) It feels like a nice warm hug that follows you all day. Perfect winter and fall scent and would work for other seasons too. Also I like the fact it doesn't have nasty chemicals yet still has excellent longevity and sillage. I do adore the Lavanila line, especially this one and the Pure Vanila scent, both yummy and very easy to wear.

What a wonderful combo of vanilla, tropical flowers, and pulpy delicious coconut. It's warm, it's luscious, it's....it's....sex on the beach! This one is more of a skin scent, but the longevity is decent at around 4 - 5 hours. Perfect for summer casual wear or for close encounters of the Maui-WOWIE kind! Good quality (as can be expected from Lavanila), reasonably priced, and I think it's a safe blind buy if you like the notes listed.

Such an incredible scent! one of my most worn, go-to, favorite fragrances. It takes a moment to settle, and from then on I pick up delicious creamy coconut, and lush vanilla. It's like a coconut cake. I don't find it to be super sweet, though, but a good combination of two naturally "sweet" scents. Beautiful, tropical, warm and inviting. I have worn almost every single day since I purchased.

This one lasts all day and night on me! I love the true vanilla coconut scent! I got the roller ball to try not knowing the brand and I have to say that I will be needing a full sized bottle! Sweet, natural vibes. I love pacifica, but this is a much higher quality "Clean Fragrance". I'm excieted to try out the others in this house.

Top note is tiare flower; middle notes are sandalwood and heliotrope; base notes are coconut and vanilla. This is straight coconut/vanilla on me and it lasts. Simple and sweet. Will probably repurchase eventually. If you like this, you should try: ~Pinrose Secret Genius~ ~CSP Vanilla Coco~ ~BS Private Show~

Very true to its name. Vanillic coconut, with some subtle white florals. Definitely one of the best vanilla scents I've smelled. It's sweet but it's not foody, thanks to the coconut and tiare flower. Very pleasant and easy to wear.

This is the best vanilla coconut perfume I have tried so far. Warm, creamy and delicious. The lasting power is fantastic too...I put this on 5 hours ago and I can still smell it great! This is a must have for the coconut lover!

This scent is a tropical paradise without smelling like a cheap tanning lotion. If you like that coconut note in J-Lo's Miami Glow and wish there was more of it, you might like Lavanila's coconut vanilla.

I didn't get coconut out of this one, either. Rather, I spent about two hours smelling like a sugar cookie--perfect for our attendance at a Girl Scouts meeting. The vanilla aroma was authentic to me.

It smells really nice, and theres that warm kind of feel about it. It deffinatly smells like vanilla, and coconut. I like it a lot. hope this review helps!

Smells like the deep brown Pacifica Candle called Mexican Cocoa.

Lavanila has really won me over, and I was skeptical, to put it mildly, of a series of perfumes with single- and double-note names, which sounded to me like just another gimmick along the lines of CLEAN. Instead, the people at Lavanila do themselves a great disservice by calling VANILLA COCONUT by such a name. For the composition really features tiare flower, which is adorned by sandalwood and heliotrope and lightly sprinkled with coconut and vanilla. A very nice composition, in the spirit of tiare flower monoi, VANILLA COCONUT does not--as I had feared--overwhelm the wearer with coconut in the manner of suntan lotion. Instead, this is a pleasant, simple but not simplistic gourmand-floral composition. I would never have purchased a full bottle of something named VANILLA COCONUT. (I might even have exchanged it unopened, had I received such a fragrance as a gift!) But I am happy to have made this propitious discovery through a minirollerball tester set. Maybe I'll write to Lavanila to suggest more inviting names for their excellent gourmand compositions... Wrist sniffers one and all!
