SJP NYC Pure Crush

Never dreamed I would find my final coconut fantasy in the bargain basement - but here it is and here we are, then. Platonic perfect coconut with impressive performance for ridiculously little money. It's nothing but win. Rich, creamy, yes OK it's on the sweet side BUT never too much - just a solid and reassuring bubble of summer happiness which still works whatever the weather. It's cool and airy enough not to smother when it's hot, but rich and robust enough to make itself felt even on chilly, rainy days. No, it doesn't have any arty niche salt-and-green notes to evoke the beach like Heeley Cocobello, or more aromatic layers of spice and wood a la TF Soleil Blanc - but Pure Crush still smells at least three times as expensive as it is, and classy enough not to be sickly. It's just pure gentle white coconut cream (no toasty nutty notes) all the way down. Basic and harmonious enough to layer with other things if you want to add a layer of coconut over/under more complex scents. Simply beautiful. Why say more?

I don't normally buy celebrity scents (but I do have and like SJP Lovely) or risk blind buys either but youtube glowing reviews convinced me, and besides, I love coconut in anything. I have several coconut frags including CSP Coco Extreme; Coco Vanille; Bronze Goddess; Coconut Fizz etc. and liked the sound of a simple blend of coconut, vanilla and white flowers without any sickly sweet fruits. Love the simple notes. Love love love it, it's a cool creamy coconut perfectly balanced with pretty flowers and just a touch of vanilla. Never too sweet, never cloying. It's not obviously suntan lotion vibe either just a great easy to wear summer fragrance. I will probably wear this all summer. This is amazing for the price, I don't know who the "nose" was but it's good quality. I bought backups in case it gets discontinued. The only dislike is the cheap packaging but it's practical and you can discard the box. If you don't care for coconut there's no point buying this one but for coconut addicts, it's a steal.

A wonderful, simple, vanilla coconut dream. I honestly love this. It's such a nice, easy, uncomplicated - yet gently elegant - scent. I also low-key love the packaging. The pretty pastels is so dang pleasing to me - and I love the solid, comforting feel of the bottle. The screw-top cap also makes me happy. It's...technically cheap...but also well-done. A budget distributed correctly. :) I've already put a decent dent in my 100ml bottle after purchasing it 6 weeks ago. For $30 for 100mls, I'm not at all disappointed. The only downside is that's quite a soft scent. I spray this at least 8 times to make me feel I'm enveloped in a gentle cloud. In saying this, I enjoy the skin scent aspect to this. Bringing my arm up and getting a gentle whiff of delicate coconut makes me happy. It feels like it's a scent that's made to perfectly blend with your skin! So I'm not mad at it. My favourite SJP fragrance so far. Definitely will repurchase this! *** Kitty rating: 9/10.

I blind bought this a couple of weeks ago due to the fragrantica reviews and the fact that it was inexpensive. I was looking for something similar to Lolita Lempicka l'aimee but without the strong tiare note. I nearly threw it out without even opening it, the bottle was so ugly and tacky looking. Luckily I gave it a chance because I really like the fragrance. On me, the fragrance opens with a very strong creamy coconut note, then it becomes slightly sweeter and you can smell the vanilla too. The White flowers are a little more prominent in the dry down, then it just vanishes. I live in a hot climate and I think this is my new favourite every day summer fragrance. Oh, and luckily the actual perfume is in a plain glass bottle, which can be removed from the hideous plastic casing. It is not quite l'aimee without the tiare, as it's missing the lime note, so my search continues...

Love love love this coconut beauty! It has one downside and a million upsides. Downside first - it’s not strong and you have to spray 6 times to get good impact. However, Upsides a plenty- it is GORGEOUS!! Its as if you emptied a coconut of its water over yourself, it smells that fresh and real. Fresh coconut with some sweetness and milkiness, some non-descript white floral kind of whisp and gentle vanilla cream with a hint of musk to anchor it all. All the other notes reinforce the coconut rather than bring much else to the picture. It also has the odd ability to play hide and seek. One minute you can’t smell it, the next it’s as if you just sprayed yourself 20 times. I enjoy this spooky element! If you’re looking for a really cosy coconut fragrance that doesn’t smell of tan lotion or synthetic dessert - this is your baby. It’s certainly mine!

Ok, this is the most realistic coconut water scent I’ve ever tried. What I love about it, is although it has vanilla and flowers in the notes list, it is JUST coconut! No lime, no pineapple, no vanilla or heavy florals but simple and fresh coconut water. I absolutely love it! BUT it is weeeeaaaaaak. 😞 Weirdly on clothes though, it lingers. I used to use it every night before bed and my PJs always smelled lovely. Now I layer it with Crystal Noir. When I found out it had been discontinued, I bought back ups. Although it was discontinued a couple of years ago, I saw it yesterday on Temu???? 😳 Now this is not an expensive niche perfume and nor did it take social media by storm, so all I can think is that it must be genuine. And for those of you who miss this little beauty.... It was only £8!!!

A coconut summer dream! Wow. This is so beachy and so summery. I don’t think I’ve ever smelt a fragrance that is so outrageously coconut. It’s a blast of sweet coconut, with a little bit of pineapple underneath, very fun and flirty and perfect to wear after you’ve stepped out of the salt water at the beach. Summer is coming up and I plan to spend a lot of time at the beach, this will be a new staple in my beach bag. I find it interesting that this is a flanker of SJP NYC yet it smells completely different, it in no way at all feels related to NYC. Either way, it’s a gorgeous, happy smell that will envelope your entire body in sweet coconut. Also, for the price, amazing quality juice. A few spritz last all day and really project.

I want to say 2 years ago I got this at marshalls. I had SJPNYC which I adore but wondered what this would smell like. It was 19.99. Didn't buy. Went back a week later randomly and a few bottles were 14.99 but one. One was 10.00! I thought hell I'll buy it. It I hate it. It's $10 I could sell the thing for $12. Well I ain't ever selling it' and pray I can get it that cheap when I run the hell out! I LOVE this fragrance. The coconut note is amazing so aquatic and juicy fresh and clean. U can wear this year round. I love to be crazy and wear it around the holidays around christmas! Freezing ur ass off in the snow and cold just spray this on! U feel summery clean and coconut to the max! Love this perfume :)

Im wearing this today. Its so pretty and is exactly what it says it is, a vanilla coconut flower. Nothing less and nothing more. As other reviewers have mentioned it's supremely light and faint. I had to spray over my entire body plus clothes and many times on my wrists. As I left my room I wondered, truly is a perfume needing that many sprays worth it ? But I was rewarded with soft wafts of vanilla coconut flower all afternoon and it really is delightful. Im going to continue to persevere with this delicate beauty and find another vanilla but one with substantial oomph and layer it underneath Crush. I really want to make this gorgeous coconut powder puff sustain because she's worth it. Supremely pretty.

if i liked coconut i would LOVE this, but i really really can't stand any amounts of coconut. even with that coconut note, it's such a nice soft fragrance. not overpowering at all, but has REALLY good sillage and has stayed on my jacket for 2 days! smells like coconut, musk, flowers, and a little bit of dry vanilla. there is some other fruit note in this that i can detect, but i'm not sure waht it is. something about it smells 'pink' as well. it's also a clean and cooler scent, BUT best suited for fall/winter. i think if i didn't KNOW it was coconut, i would like it

I absolutely adore NYC Pure Crush which surprises me as I do not usually get along with celebrity scents. This beauty is a creamy, sugary vanilla with a realistic coconutty overtone that lasts and lasts all day on my skin and/or clothes. It envelopes me in a cloud of fresh and airy sweetness that never, ever gets cloying and I never, ever tire of it. So, I must confess, the cheapest perfume I have ever bought gives me more pleasure than any niche fragrance I have ever tried. Go figure.

Oooohhhh wow!!! First let me say that if you love a pure coconut fragrance, then grab this while you can , as it’s going cheap on the discount perfume sites. You can use this to layer over all sorts of florals and transform them into holiday vibe. I just layered it over a frangipani fragrance - Aqua Mahana by Le Couvent Maison de Parfum (Jean-Claude Ellena) which is also going cheap right now, and I literally don’t even need any of my legit beach perfumes anymore. PURE LOVE

This is a coconut bomb, but like desiccated coconut flesh not the sunscreen type. It takes a bit to come out, she’s shy upon initial spray, but as it dries down the fragrance just gets stronger. This lasts forever on my clothing, I can smell my jumper the next few days in my washing basket. A very creamy (non lactonic), clean and cosy scent that layers well and is inoffensive. I have a back up bottle of my back up bottle as it’s still currently available in Australia.

I just received it and I'm wearing today, in a hot and sunny day: it is perfect for summer...I smell a lot of coconut, not in a cocktail way, it's so creamy! This make me remember a vacation in Cuba, when I used to drink coconut milk: the same smell! Lovely I have to add that this has a graet longevity: I worn it two days ago and than put my dress in the wardrobe... well this morning opening it I could smell the fragrance! :O

I love this fragrance! The coconut is so creamy & delicious. The floral notes are subtle but offer a great balance for the coconut and vanilla. This was my go to scent to wear to work last summer & I would receive so many compliments on it's soft and cozy smell. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a non citrus or aquatic warm weather scent or anyone looking for a non-candy/ authentic coconut smell.

How I've longed for this! Today I recieved my bottle, blind bought it in the middle of my coconut mania, and it's not quite what I expected! I think it's far better than I thought it would be. The smell is so.... Luscious. It's sweet but has fresh flowers in it. Longevity isn't bad either, I can still smell the vanilla sugary sweetness on my skin after 8 hours. Wonderful fragrance at a low price! I love it!!

I tested this yesterday on a paper card and tried it on my skin today. I must say that even in the cool Melbourne weather, the coconut in this sings. It's like a lovely coconut rum cocktail with jasmine, gardenia and a vanilla liqueur. It's truly stunning how absolutely beautiful this can be when the original was so banal and fruity. Putting this on my want list, I shouldn't be buying any more perfumes.

Love this! It's a great, sweet coconut fragrance, a contrast to the nuttier coconut of, say, Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude or The Body Shop Coconut. When I first smelled it, I knew it was familiar, that it reminded me of something I'd smelled before. Then I figured it out: a Mounds bar! It smells just like that candied coconut filling...delicious.

This is such a beautiful summer fragrance. Finally a coconut perfume that is fresh and not sickly sweet as majority of coconut scents out there. Quite simple and light, lasting power approx 3 hours, I like the packaging. Already planning to get a back up bottle.

This isn't a fresh tropical coconut scent, more of a dessert coconut scent. It's very sweet, and smells a lot like coconut icing. I do like it, but sometimes I like to layer it. I like to layer it with Estee Lauder's 2008 Bronze Goddess.
