Perfect Coconut Milk

My hooter is very sensitive to synthetics so I was a bit concerned reading the comments below. I should not have worried. It's more natural smelling than the montale or mancera range! It really is lush! Coconutty, vanilla and gardenia. What's not to love. It smells sophisticated and natural actually. I smell good enough to eat. It does have some sweetness but it's just right. I don't smell of suntan lotion. I smell of creamy tropical paradise. Warm, coconutty and exotic. No heavy migraine inducing florals present. I think there is a good amount of musk in here softening and melding all these lovely notes together to create olfactory heaven. It does remind me a bit of the old Models Prefer shimmery bronzing lotion. I'm pleased that I get decent longevity and sillage in the chilly room. It's going to be fantastic in a warm environment.

I just love this and have been wearing this every day for a couple of weeks now. It's pretty and flirty and lovely and warm. I don't know where other reviewers get the car air freshener bit from. If this was what my car smelt like, I'd be in heaven. I have received loads of compliments - especially from men. It's a very soft and feminine fragrance. The vanilla is not overwhelming and the coconut and floral elements give it a touch of sweetness. I find it comforting and never overwhelming - One of those few fragrances that I will never suddenly find nauseating. This fragrance makes me feel like I'm floating through the day on a soft cloud of girly yumminess. The longevity is not bad, eight to nine hours. The only downside is that it may not be an Autumn/ Winter fragrance. I may still wear it though as It makes me smile...

Creamy, luscious coconut. It isn't your standard coconut, as it has flowers. The gardenia—it's Tiare flower, which is a variety of gardenia, the most prized. So, the almond, the Tiare, the vanilla, the tonka bean, the coconut—all creamy, all milky. It's like the warmth of a summer in Hawaii in a bottle. While I agree with another poster on the subject of this perfume line not always using the highest quality of ingredients—not on this beauty. Get the oil, it's the best. P.S. You don't have to spray a perfume to get all the notes. Just rub your wrists together. In fact, spraying usually gives you many false positives because many companies use carriers in their spray versions, like more alcohol. Really? Play Doh? Move along. Nothing artificial here.

Perfect Coconut Milk is absolutely fantastic. I ordered a sample from LS on a whim figuring it wouldn't be anything remarkable. I was so wrong. I put it on and after about 10 mins the initial coconut (which is creamy and beautiful and not plastic at all) settled down and the floral started to emerge with the soft musk and it was just beautiful and delicious and sexy. Whenever I wear it I can't keep my nose away from my wrist, plus my husband loves it as well. I'm thrilled to find a perfume that's not only delicious smelling, but also creamy and sexy. I wish it lasted longer, as I have to apply about 3 times during the day, but even so I couldn't love this fragrance any more if I tried. Definitely my new signature fragrance.

I got a sample of this from Olactif. When I tried it on it wasn't too impressive. It went to a friend at work as my rejects usually do. When she wore it the next day I wanted to take it back from her, it smelled amazing! Of course I bought a bottle of it. The smell of it on my warm pudgy body drove me crazy, it was that good. The coconut teased me in the beginning, then I got the orange blossom, it just kept getting better. By the end of the day I still smelled fantastic. Everyone I annoyed by asking them to smell me loved the perfume also. I will defiantly buy another bottle so I don't run out.

I have a sample of the oil and was intrigued by the tonka, Egyptian musk, and Play Doh notes mentioned here. This is a fresh vanilla to me with a whiff of campfire smoke at the end, which fades quickly but is interesting! I could not stop sniffing my wrist. The tiare/monoi is nicely blended and doesn't take over, and I am still working on identifying any flowers except for a gentle creamy gardenia. I stuck it under my spouse's nose, and he said vanilla. If you like Philosophy's Fresh Cream, you would probably like this as a more sophisticated floral version.

I’m loving this. Creamy, sweet, coconuty, but I get no suntan lotion vibe at all. The gardenia saves it from being at all confused with suntan lotion on me. I can’t stop sniffing my arm, but I can only vaguely smell it at a distance (which is the way I prefer my fragrance to be). I find this to be rather similar to Dolce Garden with this one being a touch sweeter and more subtle with more coconut. I’m trying to talk myself out of getting a full bottle of this for fear it just might be redundant to my Dolce Garden.

This is the first coconut perfume that truly hits the nail on the head for me because I'm a coconut connoisseuse! lol I absolutely adore this fragrance, it reminds me of my childhood in so many different ways. It smells like authentic coconut milk blended with bourbon vanilla beans and brown sugar. I get the slightest hint of the orange blossoms and gardenia which give it more depth. After a few hours it leaves behind a lovely, deep musky scent on the skin that drives me crazy (in the best way possible)!

A gorgeous, rich coconut scent that’s warm, creamy, and comforting. It’s smooth and sweet but not too sweet, blending soft vanilla and a touch of musk. It has an indulgent, more-ish feel - it’s a beautifully crafted, delicious fragrance and one I want to have in my forever collection. 🥥 🤍

When I first sprayed this on, it smelled like a good suntan lotion, as it calmed down, it smelled great. The other notes meander in as the day goes on. By the end of the day I could still smell it, and it was great.

This is one of my favorite bedtime fragrances. The coconut is very comforting and doesn’t remind me of sunscreen, like so many others. It sits close to the skin but wears great.

Perfect Coconut Milk sometimes makes me think of Perfect Car Air Freshener. I can see myself standing on the other side of the glass at the car wash, watching large rubber slats bombard my dad's wood-paneled minivan with lather, as the sweet coconut smell of air fresheners, fuzzy dice, and foot well carpets make their presence known on the fluorescent-lit wall behind me. Fortunately, there is more going on in this fragrance than that. Perfect Coconut Milk opens with sweet marzipan candy. The nutty marzipan strikes a nice balance with the salty sweetness of the coconut and vanilla. Thanks to SHP for the lovely sample. However, as Perfect Coconut Milk warms up on my skin, the gardenia comes out into the open. This is a light, transparent, ethereal and true to life gardenia. The gardenia does a great job of cutting the heaviness of the almonds. It's a nice surprise, considering that gardenia is responsible for the heaviness in many fragrances which include it. Though the coconut itself smells somewhat synthetic, as does something in the sheer sweetness of the fragrance, this in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. Despite its initial sweeter than life quality, the composition is harmonious, and it opens up into something surprisingly lovely, warm, balanced, and wearable though not delicate. If it weren't in the form of a fragrance oil, it would make a great room spray; the projection is very good. In the dry down of Perfect Coconut Milk, a lot of its original dimension disappears, leaving behind a sweet, warm musk that lasts for hours. If you love almonds, tropical gourmands, and aren't a bit deterred by synthetic baby doll types of scents, this one is definitely worth exploring.

All I get is the faintest of cream. That's it, can't smell anything else. :( Edit: So I got this in an atomizer as my first Scent Trunk monthly and it is a totally different perfume sprayed than dabbed. Sprayed I can smell the coconut, vanilla, cream. It's really quite lovely and hovering. Can't tell about longevity yet but this is really quite a nice coconut. A good reminder: often a dabbed sample does NOT give you the true experience of the perfume. Edit 2: Oh dear. So much for this one. I was finishing my decant today and contemplating buying more... But apparently to some folks (friends of mine) this smells like decaying flesh... There was much wondering and investigating trying to figure out where the dead rat was. Everyone could "smell a sweet scent like dead animal." And I realized pretty quickly they were only smelling it when the breeze was blowing from my direction!

This is more of an almondy sweet, vanilla musky scent on me than a coconut-centric one. I do get milky, creamy notes, and some coconut, but I agree that the coconut is profoundly sunscreen-y until the drydown. I can smell all of the notes listed, except the gardenia is a just vague floral note. This would make a lovely inoffensive, comforting skin scent. I like the scent, I'm just not sure it's something I would pay for. However, despite my snobbery at its simplicity, this scent keeps me sniffing it - there's something in the airy-sweet muskiness of it that I like.

This is a lovely very rounded coconut fragrance. The florals, almond and musk keep this more interesting than "just coconut". Very creamy, natural, suntan sensual. I'm not as into coconut as my youngest sister. I wanted to try this to see if it would be a good gift and she will absolutely go crazy for this. I don't know what the 2 reviewers below me are smelling but this is an outstanding coconut fragrance. I think they did not like the gardenia note in here but I think it brings balance. Very tropical. Makes me want to get a suntan lol.

I wholly expected this to be much sweeter and stronger of a coconut scent. So I was perplexed when this was lightly sweet creamy coconut vanilla that has a hint of almond that has been bathed in a fairly strong gardenia - it almost reads like a light monoi (tiare flowers soaked in coconut oil). Orange blossom is not strong at all, but I do get hints of it. There is a musky fixative note here that seems to be quite strong; it lingers to the end. I actually do like this scent. It sits close to the skin, and is quite lovely.

try not to be put off by the initial 15 minutes of Play-Doh and coconut car air freshener. it calmed down and settled nicely into a gardenia-vanilla-musk with decent longevity. aside from the beginning, this isn't coconutty at all, to me. but it's a pretty fragrance, and i think a very little will go a long way. seriously contemplating a fb.

I think this is a great crowd pleaser. It's not to much of anything. It definitely leans more Vanilla Musk than Coconut Cream on me. It unfortunately doesn't last long and I cant smell the Florals but is nonetheless very pleasant. I honestly think this could be worn year round because of the Vanilla being so much more prominent.

A musky, green coconut with a touch of vanilla. Soft sillage with moderate longevity. When it dries down it has a slight "sunscreen" vibe. Because of the freshness, this is a great one for after a shower, spring or summer days.

Powdery sweet coconut. I don’t get sunscreen or plastic smell at all. It’s starts as vanilla coconut dessert then as it mellows the white florals becomes more dominant. Definitely feminine.
