Indian Coconut Nectar

I am obsessed with J.R Watkins Coconut Milk and Honey lotion...and I inadvertently purchased it, in spray form, with this FANTASTIC cheapie! I mean, honestly, I'm absolutely thrilled. There are just a few subtle, subtle differences...and it's only because I'm so familiar with the lotion that I'm able to split hairs here. Namely, this is a little more vanillic...just a smidgen. The bottle (the new can style, recently released) mentions vanilla, amber and coconut as notes....so that baited me in. I actually hadn't planned on purchasing this, but those notes are lovely IMO and so I made an impulsive buy at Ulta. Well, this isn't really ambery, but it's ok, because I think this scent is kind of unbeatable. It's the perfect vanilla and coconut combo. It's smooth though, and both this (and the J.R Watkins lotion) have a buttery texture. I cannot explain it, but it smells *buttery smooth*, and although the packaging is a different color, this is a soft golden yellow in my mind. I suppose "whipped cream" makes sense as a note. I really don't care about the other alleged notes here - it's basically just coconut and vanilla buttercream. Super gourmond (shamelessly, really), and freaking delicious. I like B&BW's "Vanilla Coconut", but I have always wished J.R Watkins made a fragrance form of my favorite lotion (which...by the way, I've worn solo in leiu of fragrance, and recieve insane compliments in), and HERE IT IS. I'm astounded that nobody has mentioned it already. So good. One of my favorite cheapies ever (and I'm a bargain bunny, so that's high praise). Coconutty, vanillic, golden Heaven. 😍💛🤍🥥 (Cross posted to both entries.)

I was so worried about the reformulation ruining this scent - it's my absolute favorite summer cheapie. Thankfully, it smells pretty much identical! However, I think this version is a bit warmer and smoother than the original. Very sweet, milky coconut, an easy reach for sure. The longer it sits on warm skin, the creamier it gets. The alcohol hits me a lot harder than the older version upon first spray, which is disappointing - I'm hoping that they didn't use extra alcohol as a filler when they upped the size of the bottles. Longevity isn't great, it lasts about two hours before fading into a barely-there scent (like most Pacifica perfumes). It does last a bit longer on clothes. I wear my fragrances for myself, but I did get complimented repeatedly the first time I wore this to work.

Beautiful gourmand coconut scent. Straight up vanilla coconut milk scent in the beginning, but it gets slightly sweeter and creamier as it dries down and you start to smell the almond and it turns into a very sweet almost cookie like scent. I think this could work year round with how sweet it is. I’m excited to play around with it and see how it layers with other scents.

I can’t express enough how many compliments I get on this perfume. When I walk by I have people asking where it’s from. Although you do have to reapply frequently (every 2 hours or so) it is genuinely such an incredible fragrance. I have yet to find anything like it. 10/10 Pacifica, I’m impressed :)

I love coconut as a food but am sometimes wary of the note in perfume, as it can sometimes be off-putting to me. This is a straight up edible, sweet coconut and I love it. Such an easy reach, sure to make you feel cozy.
