Resort

*UPDATE* I now have the full size bottle and I’m obsessed!. Probably my favourite Coconut scent of all time. This is because it’s really well balanced and not sweet at all. The name really says it all....Resort 😌. I have a sample of this and I absolutely love it. It’s smells like a holiday...I love spraying it just before I go to bed as it relaxes me. Just think of Sun, sand and sunshine ☀️. *Update-have full bottle now and absolutely obsessed 😍

Give this a wrassle versus Mihan Aromatic's Guilty Story or Sienna Brume. There are a few new Australian perfume houses taking advantage of the fact you can use essential oils and natural ingredients here, and I think they must all also get their base ingredients from the same places. It smells nearly identical to Mihan's versions, but I have a poor nose so take this with a grain of salt. I do like this very much. If I was a guy who needed a perfume for my beach vacations, I'd get this.

This is Philosykos by Diptyque if someone squinted at Philosykos from a great distance - details gone blurry at the edges, only the broad outlines captured against the sun. I get a brief hint of that beautiful, refreshing leaf-green-and-fig that Philosykos is known for... before the rest of the scent is dropped into a vat of ISO E Super and/or similar aromachemical, both washing away and drowning any of the promise it originally held. I'll grant that it does have a touch more coconut, but the base is otherwise quite similar. If it were sold for any value under $100 AUD I'd nod to it as a reasonably acceptable dupe. For $179 AUD for a 55ml? Just go buy the original instead.
