Coco Shimmy

When I first wore this, I got a very pineapple forward sunscreen scent followed by the beachy surf wax. A few hours into wearing Coco Shimmy, I went to the gym and kept getting this sexy rich tonka scent. And I was going crazy trying to figure out where it was coming from. It was me. And it was this perfume. I am in love with the dry down in coco shimmy. The opening is nice, but it’s a typical sunscreen scent. The surf wax in the mid is very realistic, but the dry down is a beautiful, warm tonka, that is a tad nutty, a tad creamy, and very alluring. This is a sunscreen scent, it’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s well executed. And the performance is excellent for edu de toilette. I get about five hours of wear with a lovely scent trail. The projection is intimate but you still smell her presence. Coco Shimmy is very similar to Vacation. But instead of the bathing suit latex, Coco Shimmy has surf wax. Vacation is 1995 and Coco Shimmy is 2025. She is also very similar to BBW Meet Me in Miami. But Meet Me in Miami leaves a plasticky smell on my skin. I don’t have that problem with Coco Shimmy. It’s like shimmy takes the typical sunscreen scent, gets rid of the negatives, and dials up the sexiness. I just love it. The only reason that it’s not a 10/10 is because I can’t wear it this year round. It is very seasonal, so a 9/10 For laying try the following: Sniff Coco Shimmy and Killian’s Sun Kissed Goddess. Smells like pricey tanning oil. Sniff Coco Shimmy and Sol De Janeiro 62. Makes me think of pool parties and the last day of Summer.

YES yes yes. this is so good if you're looking for that "sex wax" surf wax scent. i'm socal native so i am all too familiar with sex wax candles, bars of it left in your car to make it smell good, etc. this opens pretty brightly with the pineapple, sour tangy sweet. it softens a lot which i appreciate, as i'm pretty much only here for the coconut/wax/warmth/sandy vibe. it's very nostalgic, like smelling a dress you wore to the beach the day before... sunscreeny, a little salty, that tell-tale unplaceable "beach" smell. sand?? idk. anyway i overspray the F*CK out of this. 3 sprays across the chest, one on each arm, clothes on, then 3 more sprays. clothes hold this scent really really well. everyone in my office makes comments about knowing i'm at work because they smell the perfume before they see me, and this one is a crowd pleaser. this is ALMOST a perfect scent for me (i've been hunting tropical/solar fragrances all year), i just wish there was maybe a white floral or frangipani in here to make it more heady. the price is right when you can get 2 bottles for the same cost as 1 bottle of "high end" fragrance. now go forth and smell like a delicious waxy sandy coconut!!!

I finally smelled sniff coco shimmy. It’s wonderful. Sweet, fruity and tropical. It does have a hint of sunscreen but the smell of the sunscreen accord and the fact that it’s very little actually gives me nostalgia instead of screechy sunscreen scent. This is a summer drink scent with an hint of nostalgic sunscreen and not a sunscreen scent. If you want a nostalgic sunscreen scent with a hint of poolside drink vibe (basically the reverse) get Vacation from Arquiste. I do wish Coco Shimmy was slightly more creamy, the way Akro Rise is creamy. However this is much sweeter and the fact that it’s fruitier/sweeter makes me like this more than Akro rise. It also reminds me of Kajal Kolada but Kolada lacks the nostalgic sunscreen note.

Snif Coco Shimmy is the ultimate fun, summery scent! My friend let me sample it, and I was immediately hit with fresh, not synthetic, pineapple. It was like I was standing on a beach, the sun warming my skin. As it settled, a creamy coconut note came through, almost like tropical sunscreen, but in a way that’s surprisingly pleasant—not at all overpowering. Being from a beach town, this scent is pure nostalgia. It’s exactly what I imagined surf shops and Margaritaville smelled like when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it. It’s a scent that brings me back to those carefree days, and it lasts for hours. Even now, my paper still carries that coconutty, surf wax vibe. It’s amazing and a perfect reminder of home.

Look if you like coconut and fruit scents, and perhaps the smell of yummy sunscreens this is your girl. I can totally understand that its intense beauty smell might not be for everyone but Coco Shimmy has been one of my favorite perfumes for a while now. The coconut is so soft and smooth and the pineapple just creeps in gorgeously, and in my opinion one of the strongest notes, and it just dries on my skin so gorgeously over my bath and body works shea and honey lotion or my tree hut coco colada lotion. It's giving beach and sunblock under the California sun, I love it and think you should at least smell test it at Ulta.
