Coconut Sun

Coconut Sun is my last sample from my The 7 Virtues, and it is not what I expected - it is better. Rather than a creamy, sweet suntan lotion scent, it is unexpectedly fresh, and the listed notes smell jarringly realistic. The coconut water note is dominant, reminiscent of the bottled drink, and it is given bright freshness by the citrus. It is a beautiful composition, nicely-balanced throughout, featuring points of interest. CS is coconut-dominant from initial spray, with the coconut water note beautifully-rendered. It is refreshing in every sense, lightweight and somewhat dewy rather than lactonic and creamy. It still doesn't compromise on its tropical theme, especially as the sweet frangipani emerges, adding a sweet, floral lushness. As it develops, the vanilla in the base becomes evident, adding sweetness and body without becoming overpowering. It becomes salty here, adding to the theme nicely while balancing out the sweetness. Some jasmine adds body, a nice inclusion in scents of this genre. It remains a sweet, lightweight coconut scent throughout, with more vanilla than fruit evident as it develops. It fades to a salty marine scent with a touch of vanilla-sweetened coconut evident until final fade. Sillage and longevity are moderate. It is a feminine-leaning summertime day scent. A fresh take on a tired trope, CS is a great beachy scent that is good-quality, featuring realistic-smelling materials and is lightweight rather than cloying. A lovely addition to an admirable house. 4/5.

Coconut Sun smells like you are sitting at an open-air bar, drinking a margarita on the rocks, and there is a boutique of fresh frangipani on the table in front of you. Sexy in a classy way, and tropical without being juvenile. Coconut Sun is a classic summer scent. It is aquatic and salty with a subtle sweetness. Just keep in mind that this is more of a tropical white floral perfume with coconut in the background, than a true coconut forward scent. This has a clean girl going on vacation vibe. Longevity is 4-5 hours, but the projection and scent trail is stronger than you might realize. I sprayed this in the bathroom and returned 3 hours later and was shocked by how strong this scent was in the air. I did wear this on a cool day, and this was not as special. I think this needs heat and to be worn on skin to really shine. 8/10 Layering Combos: Body Works Dressed in White. This is a salty gardenia. This is beautiful together. It radiates about an arm’s length and leaves a lovely tropical floral silage. Paco Rabanne Olympea. This combo enhances Olympia’s aquatic characteristics and adds some coconut. It performs great in the heat but may be too salty for some. 7 Virtues Clementine Dream. These were made to be layer together. Clementine Dream adds more citruses and freshness. Perfect for summer and a great mood booster on a hot day.

Testing Coconut Sun from a 1.7 ml The 7 Virtues official sample. I love Coconut Sun! To put it simply, this scent profile is all I want to wear during summer months! And I have definitely more than ten perfumes in my collection with a variation of a ylang ylang /coconut/frangipani vanilla/salt that smells almost identical to Coconut Sun... But I still want this, it’s so delicious and exotic and sweet and tropical fruity...It’s mouthwatering delicious! This scent deserves the hype it gets online, let me tell you that... Once and only once I finish one of my current existing bottles in my collection similar to Coconut Sun, will purchase a bottle of Coconut Sun. But I want a bottle of this because it’s calling my name... With certain scent profiles, I am at that stage in my collecting journey where I have the same scent from several brands and I don’t want to add another variation from a different brand until I finish something else existing on my shelves! Beautiful!!! Worth sampling if you’re interested in tropical floral/coconut dominant scents. On the lighter side, but in high heat this it’s more easy to wear than something strong and intense.

This smells really PRETTY, like that scene in MEAN GIRLS, when Regina compliments Cady by telling her she's REALLY pretty. She then replies with a "thank you" in which Regina takes as if she was admitting that she's PRETTY. Well, that scene is this perfume. Smells really pretty, almost innocent. Like when she was herself, before all the lipgloss and cheap perfume that made her smell like a baby prostitute. This perfume has some decency to it. Smells like a good girl, no jealousy, no hate, no projection room above the auditorium. Fresh coconut water, sea salt, sweet vanilla, creamy pistachios and cinnamon. Perfect all year round, unisex, great for hot or cold days, specially spooky season. It has a fresh opening that's amazing.. But my favorite part is as it settles, it fades into creamy pumpkin with caramel and warm milk. Snoopy probably wears this. I just know it. BISOUS

I got a free sample of this from Sephora and wow I was blown away. It is very strong unlike some of their other scents. I am really enjoying totally being able to smell myself all day long big whiffs. It is very tropical. I love the Aliens and this reminds me of them except not as amber like. I might have to get a travel size to try out for a while to see about getting a larger bottle. It does remind me of Alien Goddess but honestly so much better and dare I say actually stronger and more tropical. I can't tell if it's going to be too strong for me long term but I'm a stronger perfume type of girlie so I love a good winner like this. It's refreshing and like a nice tropical drink not faded like suntan lotion definitely more sugary than that.
