Very Sexy Now 2015

Unsweetened cucumber and coconut sunscreen. Simple and amazing- that's it.

This one’s a total guilty pleasure for me. It’s basic AF, but what can I say, I’m a sucker for summery, beachy fragrances. Very Sexy Now 2015 mixes the warm, tropical smoothness of coconut with creamy white florals and a sweet, watery aquatic note. To my understanding, the cucumber note in VSN’15 is actually cucumber flower, while the coconut note is actually coconut water—which may explain why the aquatic accord here isn’t nearly as cool, pure, and refreshing as you’d expect from cucumber, and instead is mainly sweet and vaguely lactonic. There is a little bit of green, cucumber-y freshness as well, but not a ton. It’s mostly a scent like sunblock, and white floral notes carried up the beach on a light breeze. I also get a little barb of sweet-tartness from VSN’15, like a little squeeze of creamy citrus, or a sharp yellow floral in the mix. I’m not sure where that’s coming from—perhaps the cucumber flower?

This was a stop on my search for a fresh coconut scent to replace my beloved Harajuku Lover's G perfume for this summer. I wanted something with coconut, but something 'different' from G. I get a fresh burst of sweet coconut water on the first sniff, then a bit of cucumber mixed with white florals. The lasting notes on me were white floral with a hint of fresh green coconut/cucumber (I can't decide which). This reminds me of my memory of So de la Renta - I'm positive So doesn't smell like VS Now 2015 does, but my memory of So is green floral, and this comes close enough for my bad-memory sniffer. If you like green floral scents that skew 'clean', this may be the scent for you. Though the coconut is 'water' and very fleeting to my nose, this is in the running for a summer scent for me.

I blind bought a travel sized spray of this at the semi annual sale, and it's actually fairly pleasant. It's not really my style, but for that reason I found that it kinda grew on me. I don't own another perfume similar to this, so if I want something different, I'll spray it on my clothes. I usually loathe soapy smelling perfumes, but for some reason this one doesn't bother me. It's very linear and smells exactly how you'd think by looking at the notes: a soapy fresh floral with cucumber and a bit of coconut. You really have to like cucumber to enjoy this though.

coconut/citrus/cucumber.. the coconut is barely there I do get the cucumber flower the most fragrantica doesn't have cucumber flower in the note data base when you go to the vs website the scent has cucumber flower and not cucumber in it that's why it's a little more floral for those wondering where the floral note is coming from lol but anyways.. the scent seems soo familiar to me I knew it reminded me of something and then I just remembered what it was! This really smells exactly like coppertone sport spray sunscreen! Which actually is a pretty nice scent.
