Fleur de Coco

My final review from Ntrigue's Discovery Collection: Fleur De Coco. We are in the thick of late Fall as I write this review so we cannot really judge its performance as intended as a summer fragrance for tropical and beach vibes. Inside or bundled up from the cold, this fragrance is truly wonderful. It immediately opens itself to be a tropical fruity fragrance. There is such a juicy orange, and passionfruit opening to the fragrance it brings back sweet memories of trips down to the islands. The top notes, as mentioned, open with a juicy orange and passionfruit sweetness then the fragrance opens up to a lovingly banana'esk ylang and jasmine accord. The coconut notes start to shine but in a very elegant way. Many other coconut fragrances rely on an almost astringent coconut smell that reminds you of banana boat sun block but this is extraordinarily creamy and soft, not overpowering but strong enough to be known. The coconut seems to blend with the base notes to match well with the white chocolate and sandalwood. This is by no means an overly sweet fragrance and appears to only rely on the benzoin for that vanillic base note to the fragrance, a nice change from similar overly sweet coconut fruity fragrances. We look forward to wearing this as the weather warms!
