Creamy Coquito

I agree with Vanillastorm--not as good as Cocolicious but better on the drydown, and a bit more complex than Creamy Vanilla and Coconut by Dua. I have actually never smelled an authentic coquito so I have no idea how realistic it is. Update: I washed it off. Not because I hate it, but because it's way too hot to be wearing anything that reminds me of Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant. I'm not usually a seasonal purist, but wearing such a spicy milky eggnoggy perfume in this heat and humidity is untenable.

This has that strange DUA base that is in a lot of their frags. I can't describe it really but if you know, you know. But...that strange note does go away on the dry down and this is some pretty potent stuff! Definitely leans feminine. It's milky and coconutt-y. The milk keeps the sweetness in check. I also get a rice milk type of note in here. This is a cold coconut. It's pretty darn good but Cocolicious still reigns queen, in my opinion, as far as DUA and coconut goes. That one needed no maceration (I'm over the whole "maceration" crap, TBH. It seems like every Tom, Dick and Betty wants you to macerate their fragrance 🙄😬🤨). Cocolicious was great right out of the box and Coquito smells pretty much the same as it did 3 months ago so 🤷♀️ to all that maceration business LOL. I like Coquito. It's not a love. It's nice.
