Montaigne Coco

First impressions: Okay, I sprayed this and my initial reaction wasn't so good. First try was giving a super strong synthetic floral vibe....mostly the peach, Tiare flower & Ylang Ylang. Wasn't getting the coconut or vanilla etc. I was disappointed tbh. I almost gave a review then but thought better of it. Properly tried it again later and it had already settled down quite a bit. I'm now getting most of the notes and yes, the coconut is coming through. I'd actually describe this scent as an old school tanning oil. Specifically the oil, not the lotion. They've somehow captured the smell texture of suntan oil. It seems like a good performer but I'll have a better idea of that in the future. I'm truly liking it now and feel like it will get even better in the coming weeks & months. Will update with a final review then. Forgot to address the bottle. I wasn't expecting much from the looks of it online but was quite surprised at it's quality. It's a thick glass bottle with a full metal lid/top that is quite heavy. :) Editing with a little update next day: I'm giving it a bit of a wear today and really loving it. It mellows out into a soft delicious, almost fluffy, beach goddess type smell around you. Still very old school tanning oil (like mentioned in a few other reviews, think 90's/00's Hawaiian Tropic oils, not sunscreen). Very happy I got this. Just know it comes on very strong and even unpleasant when bottle is newly opened but that changes. ;) Adding...that after wearing this I can 100% say this is a sweet beast mode fragrance. Wore strongly all day and well into the next. Edited update April 20th: It's been over 3 months and it still smells/feels like suntan oil/lotion but it's gotten much more lactonic & creamy. Even the florals are softer & creamier. It's giving beachy & luscious fluffy clouds of sweetness. Love it. :) Just a heads up: The Amazon link on here goes to Montaigne Vanille (which is Mancera Roses Vanille inspired) and not this scent, Montaigne Coco. The bottles look almost identical, at least online. Coco's juice is just a bit darker though. ;)

Montaigne Coco is like a glorious creamy-coconut cocktail on the beach, with a frangipani lei around your neck and a cinematic sunset unscrolling behind the sea. It's so great right out of the box that I can't even imagine how good it will be in a few months. It is pretty much the coconut-tropical floral-vanilla-amber of my dreams, and it cost less than any of the contenders in my collection. It's as good as my beloved Cocolicious, and it cost half as much for twice as much, in a much better bottle. (I still have all the love for Dua--this is just a reminder to me that cost and quality are not always synonymous, especially when you bring the Middle Eastern brands into the running.) I can't believe how good this is, and I hope they never stop making it. The bottle is great, too, a perfect balance of form and function. The metal cap clicks into place in an vaguely addictive way that reminds me of my beloved bottle of Chanel Misia. (I'm sure the other Les Exclusifs have that feature, but a 2016 bottle of Misia is the only one I have that isn't in a little travel bottle.)

Edit: 15 . 5. 26 I know it's been just a couple of days since I received this....but today it seems to have evolved into a delicious coconut cake, so I am drooling and want to bit my arm. Nothing was wrong with my first perception, but as a lover of adult gourmands....I am in heaven ❣️ Original: It's a cold ,windy ,cloudy day here in Germany on the 12th of May...Coco arrived for a burst of summer promise....but I wouldn't say this is only for summer. It is strong, but in a great way. My bottle seems to already be matured because it smells Devine. I do notice the Tiara, but not overwhelming, otherwise I wouldn't like it. The Coconut is so gorgeous here, creamy , elegant. I haven't had much luck with Coconut, so this makes up for it I imagine a very elegant person wearing this, dressed all in white . It is creamy. Luxurious! Addictive! It's a love Mr Alhambra 🩷

I've been compared them both, the og mancera coco vanille and montaigne coco, in my nose the opening of coco vanille it has strong floral notes so prominent and sexier, while the montaigne still has floral opening but not way too strong like the og and it has the same way and vibes. I could say this montaigne coco similarity to the og around 75-85%, the opening slightly different but the drydown is very similar to coco vanille. Still not the best clone of coco vanille but hey it only cost around 20 bucks, performance are moderate to strong. Of course the og ten times sexier rather than this clone, i love this coco vanille so much for sure, such heavenly and irresistible scent on woman 😩 But let's give the rating on this, overall rating 8/10 ✨

Strong vanilla coconut scent! Great for summer. This is almost identical to Qaed Al Fursan white, difference with Coco is its a tad sweeter and not as spicy on dry down. Coco is very nice, but I have noticed after time the dry down is like a strong, rather more mature powder smell. I wouldn't say baby powder, just powdery. I need to let this sit on a shelf for a while. Its nice , but my nose isn't jiving with this one as much as I had hoped. When I bought this in the summer time I loved it for a about a week or so. Its has the suntan oil smell to it that I LOVE! But now in the fall , I'm getting a powdery smell that I am not liking. hoping this will smell better by next summer!

A joyous opening of tiare flower, jasmine, soft coconut and vanilla that mellows into a soft, creamy toasted coconut on the skin, with glints of tropical flora adding touches of brilliance. It captures the delicious scent of your skin after a sunny day spent at the beach, slathered in exotic Tahitian oils. Late afternoon turns to evening and you feel warm and sexy as you step into the shower, anticipating the excitement of the night ahead, where deep blue skies, twinkling lights and majestic palms surrounded by balmy, coco-scented breezes await you. More than a fragrance, Montaigne Coco is a feeling, a beautiful memory and an atmosphere. It's a holiday in a bottle.

Hands down one of my favorite sweet vanilla coconut sunscreen fragrances. She's so creamy sweet with hints of fruit. One of the few peach note fragrances I enjoy 😉. The florals are quiet in the background. The Ylang-Ylang is assisting with the creamy vibe along with the vanilla I would say. The woody note is just a supportive addition to add some 'depth '. But this is mostly sweet vanilla coconut sunscreen. I'm on my second bottle and one for backup,lol. Love it. I did notice that she shared notes and similar to Sunkissed Goddess, but they are maybe sisters. Sunkissed Goddess is the big sister with the florals more up front and not as sunscreen coconut creamy.

At first this fragrance gave me nothing at all. I kept going back once a week and finally just stopped. Two months later I tried again and WOW! The peach jumped into the coconut and covered itself with Jasmine and Vanilla. I love my Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco and I couldn't understand how they can be compared. Makes a lot of sense now. They are not the same, its Pear vs Peach. Both smell amazing. Montaigne is more potent of course. Updated: Utopia Vanilla Coco has been in my inventory for over two years and it is very potent. I put it on the other day and it lasted from morning to bedtime. These are both amazing.

This is a lovely fluffy comforting scent. I pick up vanilla, coconut, peach and tiare flower. I wear it usually when I'm at home and feel like being comforted, e.g a cool rainy day snuggled up with a book, after a shower in the evening watching tv or a nice spring day warm but not too hot. I don't think I've ever once chosen to wear it out of the house but I like it for home, its nice simple, feminine and cuddly. It lasts about 5 hours. 7.5/10

Omg, this coconut is divine. So many coconut fragrances are too heavy on fruit or spice. This is just pure coconut smelling. It stands on its own or I layer with Tom Ford Soleil de fue. Longevity is moderate and overall scent is a 10. For reference I do not like heavy lactonic pineapple smells. I do love a good coconut note. I had to go through so many to finally find this. Worth every penny.

I do separate the coconut here. This has a nice, moderate florality and a lot of that sugary, liqueur-like booziness. I don't distinguish woody elements at all, the base is formed by a balanced, light make-up powder to me. After drying this smells very toffee like, and the performance of this is reasonable. I think this fragrance will be excellent in a few months.

Smells like a cross between Qaed Al fursan unlimited and Kayali’s Utopia, leaning more towards Utopia imo! It’s really sweet and creamy. I’m still testing the longevity but right out of the box the projection is poor to moderate. After a few weeks locked away I’m hoping it gets better. The color of the juice is pretty and the bottle is heavy and high quality!

For me it's like coconut oil, with a hint of florals that's very powdery. I was kinda on the fence when I first received it, but I've had it for about 5 months now and it has gotten a bit stronger. I think it's such an addictive and beautiful scent. I like wearing this on colder days because it's comforting, but this can be worn in warmer weather too.

This is truly a gem! I love the creamy coconut, the tiare flower & yang ylang. For the type of fragrance it is, I find it really lasts. I smell it on myself the next morning. It’s the perfect Island/ beach house holiday fragrance. I’ve heard it lasts better than the one it’s inspired by; Coco vanille.

My favorite coconut fragrance!!! Bought this after it was recommended by Val and Maria Collect and I am in LOVE. This is a creamy coconut vanilla with the tiare and ylang ylang in the background. I love layering this with Yara Tous for the perfect vacation vibe combination. Such an underrated gem!!

Mm this perfume is so yummy and sweet, I am in love. Someone in the comments described it correctly. It is like a creamy coconutty vanillic cocktail (think pina colada but replace the fruits and add a dose of creamy vanilla). Nothing like Qaed Al Fursan which I did not enjoy.

Oh my, this is gorgeous! I don’t know what the OG smells like, but if it’s the same or better than this, it is amazing! I get whiffs of coconut, sweet white flowers and vanilla and it’s so lovely. I want to wear this all summer long.

This perfume has a sweet scent with a distinct coconut note, which I absolutely love since I’m a fan of anything coconut. It also has a creamy, caramel-like aroma, but to me, it leans more towards a masculine vibe.

Bought this for my girl because she wanted coco vanilla frag and i really enjoy the smell on her. Projection is rather on the soft side, intimate one and it works really well for exactly such occasions.

It was really strong and sharp when I first got it, ands thankfully it's gotten so much better in a month. The dry down is absolutely gorgeous!! I get creamy vanilla, coconut, and monoi! so pretty!
