Honey Coconut

As other's have stated, this also reminds me of Honey and the Moon. I love Margot Elena and her creations....they are always unique and the packaging is artfully done. I put this on eight hours ago and it's still very evident on my skin....usually scents stay a very short time on me(1-2 hours) It is SO so sweet but I really love it. The sweetness is tempered with sandalwood but the sandalwood isn't obvious...it just gives the honey a bit of dry, earthy smokiness. The violet just barely peeps through in the most beautiful way.It is so soft, sweet and lovely....it's like those old-fashioned violet candies, drizzled in raw, smokey honey! Oh...and.....I don't smell any coconut. I am loving this. EDIT: The first review was after I had tested this scent but had not yet purchased.Although I still feel pretty much the same as my first review, I recently purchased a bottle and for some reason, the scent smells a little differently to me now. There is definitely a slight "tropical" note for the first few minutes. It must be the coconut but smells more like a coconut/pineapple combo to me. It doesn't last long but gives this more of a tropical vibe than I smelled the first time....I guess I didn't smell ANY thing tropical the first time. Feels a little more sheer ( less heavy and drippy and smokey) than I remember too. Doesn't seem to last as long as I remember either. I tried it on the first time when the air was really cold so perhaps that makes a difference. I still love it but it's funny how that happens.

Though not listed in the notes, Honey Coconut does in fact smell like coconut, or more specifically coconut lotion (according to a blind smell test by my boyfriend). It is to Pacifica's Indian Coconut, what Kenzo's Amour is to Hypnotic Poison. I prefer Amour, and I also prefer Honey Coconut. If the above analogy is useless to you, I'll also try to describe this scent without making any comparisons to other fragrances. Honey Coconut is impressive because it is simultaneously ultra sweet and whispery. There is a tiny bit of saltiness in the sweetness. After buying it, I smelled it next to wildflower and buckwheat honeys. There is no true resemblance. It smells as much like actual honey as it does like actual coconut. Projection is good but soft, longevity is average-pretty good. When I smell Honey Coconut from a distance, it reminds me of a vacation town and being down the block from a bakery or treat stand. The intense sweetness of "something somewhere" keeps teasing you and piquing your interest, but you aren't sure whether it's cupcakes or caramel corn, or what... On closer inspection it's... IT'S... still a mystery. Could it be something with coconut?

I wish this was still made. It would be my favorite honey perfume. I first tried it as a Handcreme and fell in love and then purchased a bottle on ebay. I highly recommend nobody does this. The perfume I purchased went rancid, the color of the liquid became yellowish. Apparently due to this natural ingredients in the perfume it expires much faster then other products. I looked into this and others have had similar experiences and even contacted margot elena support myself for insight into this matter and they confirmed this happens to these products. I imagine this issue is why love and toast was eventually discontinued. Its a shame.

In my personal wrist to wrist face off, this a dead ringer for Victoria by Victoria's Secret. Honey is all you smell here. Not a drop of coconut. This is so beautiful to me as Victoria was my signature for many years before it was dc'd. It's like finding a lost love! The lasting power isn't great, maybe 2 hours tops but the beauty of the sparkling, warm honey dancing on your skin makes up for that. Sillage is good while it lasts. I truly love this!

This is a truly delicious, sweet fragrance, though the name is misleading. I detect no coconut whatsoever. It's a simple, linear scent that smells almost exactly like Haagen Dazs Honey Vanilla ice cream tastes. It's a delightful bargain in an unboxed glass bottle. I highly recommend this if you have a hankering for a professional quality, reasonably priced, luscious gourmand vanilla fragrance.
