Palm Oases

Even before bringing it close to my nose, a rich suntan lotion vibe radiates through the air—like a cream made of shea butter or rich nut butter. It is extraordinarily diffuse! Very creamy and coconutty, with a hint of frangipani that instantly transports you to a tropical coast: lounging on a sunbed with a Pina Colada in hand and the warm scent of sun-heated sunglasses. What I love most is the scent progression. It beautifully transitions from sunny, cosmetic notes into something deeply gourmand. The shift from creamy to powdery is a delight to experience as it turns into a vanilla milkshake or a Raffaello-style treat with coconut and champagne cream.

I got a sample of this with another order. I almost wish i hadn’t 😂 A refined sunscreen smell. Deliciously creamy and smooth. Tropical flowers make it sing, elevating it from nice to delicious. The slight nuttiness from macadamia rounds it out nicely and gives it a distinctive base that flows elegantly across all the cream. I have finally found my perfect beach scent. It’s glorious like an island hug. It’s expensive but it is an extrait and has a beautiful sweet sillage that already got me compliments. I do not understand the rating on this beauty. If these notes are up your alley I would recommend trying it.

Lovely stuff. The cream and macadamia stop it turning cardboardy on my skin. It doesn’t shout loudly for ages, but I can imagine it’s a beautiful one for a day by the beach on holiday - no obligations, no plans, just a good book, sun, and the prospect of a cocktail being delivered to you. Sweet, musky, nutty, sunscreen-y floral. A love for me.

I'm a bit surprised by the low rating on this one. I've been on the hunt for a coconut fragrance, and I quite like Palm Oases. The macadamia gives it a different spin on the overly floral or fruity takes that often overpower the coconut note. It has some sweetness without being cloying. I do get a little bit of a play do smell after it dries down for a while, but overall I like this fragrance. I do think its a bit overpriced for how long it lasts- about 4 hours on me.

@dumbplings spot on review in my opinion this really reminds me of italica as well both don’t work on my skin it’s super cloying i can’t imagine someone wearing this in summer. So bummed i was really excited for this one :(

1980s / 90s The body shop original coconut perfume oil mixed with a vanilla nectary smell... California reverie / kyse coco a la vanigilia...Not too heavy / not too light. Projects and lasts well! You can tell it's an extrait not an edt.

Wish I would’ve sampled this instead of blind buying :/ rookie mistake. To me this is just creamy coconut. It’s pretty but not special. Definitely not worth the hefty price tag. I’m going to have to layer this to get my moneys worth

I hate this. I've tried to wear it on several occasions and it's quite unpleasant. It smells like a tropical, coconut SPF that's gone off a bit.

Cheap sunscreen, pool floaty, and 1994 Lip Smackers

Xerjoff italica but with coconut instead
