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.

I liked this more than I expected. It's definitely a beachy coconut scent, but well done. The florals/citruses round out the coconut to give it some complexity and lightness, so it's less 'sunscreen' and more 'summer picnic'. But the real winner is the salt note. This comes out after a couple of hours and really enhances the fragrance. I love salt notes so this might be a personal take, but when you've got the coconut, florals and salt all together, it smells like the end of a great beach day, when you've got sunscreen, sand and salt water sticking to your skin. The longevity is good - this lasts for hours.

A lovely, unserious, summer beach scent. Sweet, coconutty, gentle florals. I sometimes struggle with a salt note, but it's very toned down, here. It's just enough to make it a little sunscreeny, but not cloyingly so. Ageless. I would love Alien Goddess, except that for me there's a sharp "solar" note that makes it hard for me to wear. This one gives me everything I like about AG, without the sharpness. I blind bought this travel spray for a great deal and I was hesitant, but I'm very pleased with it and can't wait to wear it in the hot weather.

My absolute favorite from the 7 virtues. I love coconut but can't stand tuberose in perfume. Instead this one has gorgeous frangipani. This is a quite sophisticated coconut, it isn't overly sweet and isn't a gourmand. Don't love the opening, but it only lasts for 10 minutes. You could easily wear this to work. It has that cozyness from the coconut/vanilla but has a good balance of notes making it never feel overwhelming in any way. Such a nice fresh summery scent without being aquatic. This is exactly what I wanted TF Soleil Blanc to be.

Lovely scent . I get the coconut, citrus and vanilla. When I spray this fragrance I get a strong scent that smells like vanilla and coconut, as it dries down I smell more of the 3 notes that were mentioned in the beginning. I do not get any floral yet this is a great summer scent that reminds me of “At the Beach” BBW but with more extra notes. It is now going on my 6 hour and I can still smell this (more intimate) it is not overpowering. It’s humid outside today and it wears so well during the heat.

In the summer, I want a perfume that makes me feel like I'm sitting in a Tommy Bahama chair on a beach, sipping a pina colada and wearing Sun Bum sunscreen. And Coconut Sun is perfect for that. Perfect blend of coconut, florals, and vanilla. It's not a sunscreen scent, smells like fresh flowers and coconut, not super synthetic. To me, it's not overpowering at all. Bought a travel size to try it out and will definitely be purchasing a full size bottle next summer. Perfect for hot, humid summer days.

Why is this so GOOD?? I have been on the hunt for a summery scent that isn't straight up sunscreen vibes but still fun and light enough for everyday wear. This is it. She's sweet, fresh coconutty summer in a bottle. Unlike TF Soleil Blanc or some of the other massively popular summer fragrances, I don't feel like I need to be on or near the beach to wear this. It reminds me of Arizona Bloom by Floral Street a little and I want to try them both when it gets truly hot out, so I can compare better.

Love Love love. Perfect for those who are looking for a coconut summer scent that DOES not smell like SPF. Like i think many of the other vanilla coconuts do like, Alien Godess or Mancera Coco Vanille. Its sweet from the vanilla. And fresh from the coconut water. However i do not smell so much citrus notes at all, or rose. Though i would say that this is a strictly for summer lol, a real vacation scent. So if you want to smell like coconut but not reek of spf, this is your guy.

Unpopular opinion (maybe): some scents do not have to be complicated to be good, especially when it comes to hot summer days. Can we talk about how this is the perfect balance of easygoing tropical summer scent, performance and price ratio? I seriously cannot fault this one. Is it revolutionary? Maybe not, but when I smell it, it brings me back to island hopping in Thailand. It is not overpowering, it has the right balance of fresh, salty and tropical floral to me.

This fragrance is my babygirl, but she took some time to grow on me. If you don't like white florals, you may not like the dry down on this because the frangipani does come out. Unfortunately like most coconut perfumes, it doesn't last super long, but in my opinion it isn't too expensive where I would have a problem with that. I tend to dislike woody coconut scents, so this being lighter is definitely up my alley. Steer clear if you hate white florals.

So uplifting, bright warm and fresh at the same time. It’s like a feeling you get when you’re taking a shower and there is a smell left from tropical scented body wash and shampoo in the bathroom. The lasting power and sillage is not the best, but people are going to notice it on you. The good thing is that it’s not going to offend anyone and it’s perfect for every day wear, when you just want to smell fresh and clean, without doing too much.

This is just what I was looking for! I needed a new scent for the spring and summer that would really shine in the FL heat. This is a really pretty and realistic coconut scent. I can’t lie I don’t usually go for coconut scents because they can be a bit cloying and synthetic, but this one is light and the salt and florals balance it out. The frangipani and jasmine in this scent adds a nice touch. It’s fresh, floral and breezy.

A coconut scent that balances sweetness and freshness very well. Not sunscreen-like, but smooth and fragrant coconut water with salty vanilla. The frangipani is noticeable but doesn't overpower. I love wearing it, it makes me happy. Went through my 10ml travel spray pretty quickly, looking to buy a big bottle soon. It's on the lighter side in terms of projection and longevity is okay, around 4-5 hours.

This is an absolutely beautiful coconut scent. As much as I like sweeter and fruitier coconuts, this was such a lovely and refreshing surprise. It's clean and watery, with a fresher coconut note as opposed to a sweeter one. It still has a summery, beachy feel, but it's much more toned down and refined than a sweet "sunscreen" coconut perfume. This is so pleasant and rejuvenating for a warm summer day.

This is wonderful! Starts of citrusy but dries down to a sweet coconut vanilla and the coconut is delicious and bright it really projects so nicely. So many designer scents just don’t have the strength that this one has and it’s a clean brand so it’s a win win. I’ve had a small 1ml sample and even just tiny sprays of this and I can really smell this A full bottle is on the way as we speak.

I am not one for florals usually but love the blend with the coconut! Frangipani coconut with sea salt notes woven throughout... heavenly and works together so well, a symphony of notes. Summery, light and sweet, reminders of good memories... love this! Smells absolutely heavenly worn with Kylie Skin Coconut body lotion. Much better than Beach Walk or Soleil Blanc!
