Coconut Lagoon

I just received my bottle today and I've used it twice, once this morning and again in the evening on a different area to check on it and it's performance etc. It really is too early as it will need to develop, although touted as a freshie, kind of freshie at least, I know it's supposed to be hyper sweet and perform really well. After all, it comes from Paris Corner's Ministry of Gourmand label. So my initial thoughts are that it does what it says that it is a sweet, desiccated type of coconut but not overly sweet, at least not right now and it definitely is like a pastry that you get from the patisserie. I don't get too much citrus but I did smell a note of it so let me see how it goes after a month or two as I'm sure it will develop being a Middle Eastern fragrance. I love this house and have bought many from them that have never let me down and they are super well priced and always deliver. I bought this and Voux Zesty as it's now summer and I love a strong citrussy blast and so far the Zesty is good and sharp lime whilst not overtly acidic, just blended with sweet notes but again it will maybe need time. I must say that the presentation of both, especially the Coconut one is fantastic for the price. Maybe a bit gaudy but what the hell, it's around £25 or $30 and for that you get a very heavy clear bottle with a solid, very heavy metal cap that is punctured with 100 little zirconia gems on the top that look fantastic if you're into that sort of thing. I normally prefer something plain and prefer the cost of manufacture to go into the fragrance itself, but they really have pushed the boat out on this one and I've put it on centre display in the shelves next to my designer ones that cost up to 20 times more. The zesty bottle is bright green and fuzzy with a gold coloured solid metal cap and is far better than a cheap plastic one. Kudos to PC for making the experience a good one in both feel and presentation. The juice will no doubt be good and I'm really looking forward to updating in a while. If it is as sweet as it's supposed to be, I'll be moving it away from the Spring / Summer selection as it may be too much for my heat as I'm currently in 44C so around 110F and rising.

G̲̲̲̲̲E̲̲̲̲̲O̲̲̲̲̲ Made an account to review this. Best singular thing I've ever smelt. Tropical, refreshing, sweet lime with a coconut background. Long lasting, slightly above average sillage. Unisex leaning slightly feminine. Half-gourmand. Mostly no coconut, and no caramel at all to my nose. This is the only fragrance I've ever rated 10/10, and the only fragrance I have 2 full bottles of. Only reasons for which you should possibly ever convince yourself to NOT buy: 1. If you don't like sweet | ...this is non-cloying, but some noses might find it sweet. It's a mostly-sweet fragrance, that much is true. 2. If you're looking for a coconut forward fragrance |... this is not coconut forward. This is *lime* forward (for the first couple minutes at least). Candied coconut is in the background -- and many don't smell it at all. 3. If you want something strictly masculine |...this is unisex, and it's possible you may find it too feminine. It's absolutely not too feminine, but your nose could disagree if you're prone to that. It's feminine 52.5% /-/ 47.5% masculine. 4. You want an exact-duplicate clone of Virgin Island Water. Coconut Lagoon 'rhymes' with VIW, but it's not a clone of the scent. It's an original creation. So: don't buy this expecting something non-sweet; something with obvious coconut; or something overtly masculine. Even if you wouldn't want to wear it -- if you like sweet, you're forced to agree this smells amazing. And, if none of those 4 are explicit issues: you HAVE to buy this, it is the perfect summer blind buy, and it just smells good... trust. I'm certain I'll never find a scent that smells this good again. I'm mostly gatekeeping this but there's no chance it doesn't blow up, so I won't lie on here. It's goooooooood G̲̲̲̲̲E̲̲̲̲̲O̲̲̲̲̲ Edit: Still my favorite fragrance of all time. Smells like heaven. Just wanted to update that I have 3 bottles now, not 2. =)

As someone who primarily wears masculine fragrances (25M) i was not a fan of this fragrance initially due to it smelling too feminine in the opening and having absolutely no longevity. I came here today to discuss how I feel about it now after three months of maceration time. This fragrance is quite linear from opening to dry down. It is a light airy fruity coconut fragrance. It gives coconut sunscreen vibes for sure. Does not give me gourmand vibes at all, despite being in the notes as well as in the name. You get a heck of a fragrance for the price. This one is on the lighter side, so you do have to overspray with this one. I find that five on the neck and three on each arm (11 total) seems to be the magic routine. I must admit, after maceration, it does lean more unisex than when I first bought it. Overall, for the price, you cannot beat this fragrance. This is a great gym/daytime summer wear. I have received multiple compliments while wearing it. Lastly, I’m very impressed with the bottle/packaging quality. Scent 7/10 Performance 7/10 Bang for buck 10/10 Overall 8/10

Nose Note #204 I bought a decant of this alongside with Malibu - Party at Bay as I desperately wanted to try something close to VIW Creed, which is too expensive for me even in the form of a decant. It plays out differently on a paper strip. It's better on paper than on my skin. Well, the two happened to me rather different. PaB is purely coconut with lime, no extra sweetness. Coconut Lagoon is very sweet, but not like BR540, but much sweeter then PaB and that I didn't appreciate. Unfortunately, I think this sweetness is making the fragrance a bit vulgar and with the sweetness comes this not very pleasant undertone. Maybe it's the coconut that is here just a little bit annoying. It's not like the photorealistic coconut in PaB. With PaB it's all very clear for me. It's easy to wear. Coconut Lagoon - that one I have to wear out more. Hard to make an opinion about it. Upd.: I think the sweetness is killing the vibe. It is like pina colada, but too sweet. Closer to a milkshake or a tropical yogurt. Such a shame. It could have been the GOAT.

i'm not big on coconut, but this is the perfect coconut fragrance for me. admittedly, i don't smell half of the notes so some of the complexity is lost on me. but what i do smell, i love. the opening is a burst of citrus, and while lime isn't listed, i guess the combination of the fruits reads as lime to my nose vs lemon and orange. i don't smell apple at all. the coconut isn't a toasted or overly sweet coconut, more of a young coconut. i'm not getting the watermelon, nor the caramel or vanilla-- maybe just a touch of warmth and sweetness from those notes, but only because i'm sniffing for them. this is really just a coconut freshie to me, it smells like a coconut daiquiri (without being boozy, just the coconut+lime combo) and i'm absolutely here for it. i can't wait for the spring/summer, this is a super refreshing fragrance that gives major vacation vibes. i suppose it leans feminine to others, it seems unisex to me because it's not overly sweet. i think this would smell great on a man as well.

Wow! This perfume is gorgeous. It's a Tropical paradise for me. It's prominent on Coconut and caramel. Caramel here is more sugary than burnt so it maintains that fresh vibe. In fruits, only lemon is prominent. Rest are just fillers I guess. Yes, it reminds me of VIW just like it reminds me of Tommy Bahama St. Barts because these are tropical fragrances. But, they are completely different DNAs. This one to me is more sweeter and thicker with creamy but fresh coconut and heavy on lemon. They used Chanel edition blanche type lemon which is delicious, it doesn't smell like a cleaning product at all.. VIW is more ambergris, watery n lime heavy fragrance. Lime is sweeter than lemon. So they are on completely different compositions. Best part, though being tropical, it's a grab n go for any situation n season which is quite impressive to me. You know those Chic women with vanilla n chea butter products on, this can be that category in men lol just how I see it in my collection.

I've never had one but I would imagine this is what a Coconut Margarita would smell like. This opens up with a sweet candied lime, watermelon and vanilla. As it settles a creamy and smooth coconut starts to come through, its not strong, just enough to be noticed and it pairs with the sweet citrus very well by balancing the sweetness. As it dries down the citrus mostly disappears, leaving a creamy, oily and a bit sunscreeny coconut to dominate the fragrance. It's definitely not linear. The dry down makes me think of Zara's Blanc Ensoleille, but focused on the coconut from the opening, not the musk. I cannot say much about longevity. As I tested it on my hand, the opening stayed for half an hour, settled for about an hour and dried down keeping close to my skin for 3 hours, so 4,5 hours total. But I have to test it with full wears and let it develop as arabian fragrances like to sit for a while before reaching their full potential.

I LOVE coconut and have so many summer fragrances with it, but I'd say all of them are on the creamier side, many with a suncreeny vibe. Been looking for a fresh coconut scent, more exactly one that smells like, the now discontinued(?), Hawaiian Tropics Lime Coolada body butter, which was more of a cooling jelly perfect to drench your body in after being in the sun. A fresh but sweet coconut lime that you literally wanna drink 🤤🍹🍋🟩🥥 Blind bought this and it is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Just like the Lime Coolada body butter 🥹 Summer days turning into breezy nights in my youth ✨️🦋🌴 Sillage and longevity are not great. I'm usually a very modest sprayer since I would hate for people feeling suffocated by my presence, but this I could really douse myself in so would say it performs like a body mist. However, the low price and large bottle makes up for that IMO.

Beautiful sugared lime and coconut note! I love the comparison of a coconut Margarita!! Mouth watering at that! I would say it is semi aquatic but leans more refreshing than anything. Suitable for the high heat and humidity....it really performs quite nicely in those conditions! I get average longevity for a freshie.....roughly 5-7 hours. The first 90 minutes or so it's projecting about an arm's length away (3 ft) and for the next two hours a few inches off the skin. The last two to three hours( 5-7) are a faint skin scent. You honest could reapply after hour four if you liked! The opening is so good! Sillage is good as well in that 4 hour time before it starts to loss steam. Perfect for vacations and other fun activities during the summer's heat waves! 9/10 scent 6/10 proformance 10/10 price point 8/10 overall!

Picture this: a Malibu iced tea in your hand on a gorgeous 36-degree summer day. The sun gently kisses your skin as you slowly get a nice tan. You hear kids laughing around you, big waves crashing in, the ocean is perfect, and a light breeze feels amazing. You are just relaxing. This fragrance is the definition of true summer and vacation. It’s almost a lifestyle where you only live for yourself and for total peace of mind. You are completely undisturbed, yet your scent is a pleasant, undeniable crowd-pleaser that turns heads. For a summer scent, it performs surprisingly well on my skin—it easily lasts a solid 6 hours. I love wearing it for work, but it's absolutely perfect for the beach and vacations. A truly laid-back beach fragrance. Just think of a fresh, oceanic coconut, but still beautifully sweet.

It is such a weird frag on me... I love it... It is really unusual, somehow synthetic, but despite this fact I cannot not love it. :) I've already learned my lesson on skin chemistry (my latest fail was Armani Power of you, which is hyped by a lot and I cannot smell anything on me but overly sweet vanilla and sour sweat...), so I am not making any strict declaration on any scent. I just can tell how it smells on me. Coconut and citruses. I love it. If I want to be reminded on lush summer mornings, I spray it on myself. I cannot wait the real summer. This is one of my favorites. I'd say it's unisex but definitely leans to feminine. Considering its price, I'd say try it - if your skin doesn't like it, sell it on any online marketplace. Someone will definitely buy it.

My review is below but I'm gonna repeat: Do not buy IF... 1. you want a clone of VIW (its reminiscent, but not a clone of anything) 2. you want coconut that stands out (it's in the background, sweet lime is prominent) 3. you don't like sweet (it's noncloying sweet and safe for summer, though) 4. you want a masculine fragrance (it's unisex, some feel it leans very-slightly feminine) 5. you need beastmode sillage (it has above average longevity, and average sillage) If your complaint is one of these things after blind-buying, then you should've listened to my review. If none of these things will explicitly, outright ruin the fragrance for you... then blind buy this, 100%. It's FANTASTIC. F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c. You'll regret skipping this one.

Po pierwszym powąchaniu odrzucił mnie ostry zapach świeżo wyciśniętej, prosto w twarz limonki. Nie tego się spodziewałam. Natomiast po chwili kiedy nuty cytrusowe zdecydowanie się uspokoiły, do głosu doszła woda kokosowa, odrobinę słodyczy i wanilii. Zrobiło się świeżo, letnio i cudownie. Perfumy kupiłam w styczniu aby nabrały mocy do wiosny ale noszę je już teraz bo zmęczona mrozami chcę chociaż w zapachu czuć lato. Flakon piękny, elegancki, świetnie oddający sok. Trwałość nie jest rewelacyjna i po kilku godzinach wymaga reaplikacji jednak liczę, że po maceracji to się zmieni. Nie jest to typowy, kwiatowo-owocowy, damski zapach. Zdecydowanie unisex. Jest wyróżniający się i bardzo energizujący.

Recent blind buy and I love it! It smells like a fruity piña colada on my skin and reminds me of a Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil I used to wear when I was younger. Beautiful for summer vibes! The packaging was cute too, and it is a very nice and heavy bottle. Even being a brand new bottle that hasn't macerated yet, it still smells delicious. So happy I got this one! Edit to add: I finally realized what this reminds me of, it smells like a perfume version of Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena hand soap! I think that has been discontinued, but this was very popular back in the day. Very fresh lime coconut scent. If you loved Coconut Lime Verbena, you'll like this fragrance.

Coming back to re-review this after 5 months. Performance: 3/10. It doesn't project far or last long. But this is easily fixable by carrying a decant with you and topping off throughout the day, and overapplying isn't a problem either because it's cheap. Scent profile enjoyability: 9/10. It's of the best coconut scents on the market, and I've tried dozens. The citrus is sweet and dominant. The coconut and caramel are secondary players, and the watermelon is noticeable but further in the background. The caramel is a very, very pleasant note that combines with the citrus and coconut extremely nicely. It leans feminine but I don't care, I will still wear it.

Just got this and ill say the opening smells very candy lime like. Which I hate, I cant stand candy smelling Perfumes.... but the dry down is very very nice. It smells like milky coconut with some vanilla and a bright orange. Thats basically it but mainly i smell lime and coconut throughout the fragrance so idk how or why it doesnt say lime as a note cause I definitely get lime. But the dry down of this is insanely good. Just doesnt last long at all. And no it doesnt have any lotion type of vibe at all its very fresh limy and watery. The opening can again smell candy like but in the drydown it smells just like coconut milk and a bit of lime and vanilla.

Photorealistic, sweet lime with a hint of coconut. Doesn’t last more than a couple hours on my skin, and not much longer on clothes, but this is still one of my favorites. It’s refreshing and uplifting. Very unisex though maybe a bit feminine leaning, but I don’t even care, it’s just so delicious. Great for layering. I don’t smell the notes listed in this at all, but I can see how they blend to get what I am smelling. The caramel and vanilla make it sweet, even though I don’t detect either. And the lemon and apple create the lime notes. If you like citrus, I highly recommend this one. Edit: my full bottle finally arrived and the atomizer is incredible.

I got a 3ml decant of this, along with several other ME fragrances. I was looking for something for a tropical vacation and this is my favorite of the 6 I ordered! Opening is lime flavored Skittles; dry down is a coconut water. Caramel is not detectable, nor any of the other notes. All I get is lime and coconut water and it is divine :) Perfectly unisex to my nose. Lasted over 24 hours on the test strip, all day on clothes but quite moderate projection after the first hour. I tested this in cold weather conditions, so I am excited to see how this will perform in warm weather. I imagine the silage will improve immensely. I love it. Very unique!

I love this. I love fresh and bright scents and this is that. I think the apple in it makes the lemon smell more like lime because it feels clearly lime citrus to me but that in a great way. For obvious reasons, coconut is in a lot of summer fragrances and I like the smell of coconut but I feel it easily overwhelms me. This is a perfect hint of it. The coconut and vanilla are there but are truly base notes. You can smell it in the back but it is a bright citrus scent first and foremost. I don't pick up on the watermelon really but I love the scent so I don't think that even upsets me much. This was a random blind buy that I am happy I have.

Has a nice coconut smell but, to me, it is not a lite and airy coconut smell but more of a syrupy type of scent which is why I won't be wearing this one in the summer, it's just to heavy of a scent for summer but that is really the only time that I would want to wear a coconut scent. It's cheap in cost and smells pretty good, just to heavy for me. Edit: I did wear this one day, all day, to give it a decent try out and I must say, it was not to heavy for me, which is what I figured was going to happen, it was nice. I will say, if you plan to rock this in the summer, bring a travel sprayer with you because you will have to respray and often.
