Delicious coconut solinote; repackage of previous "Exotic Coconut"
If you're looking for a realistic coconut solinote, this is it. Coconut (2024) smells like the experience of drinking out of a fresh coconut: sweet, pulpy, creamy, with a hint of husk.
It's a natural-feeling coconut - not your typical synthetic/"screechy" coconut note that so many fragrances use now. A bit gourmand from the sweetness + coconut cream, which makes it perfect for cooler weather - but also has warmth from the "golden" or "bronzed" feel (not a green coconut), which makes it perfect for warmer weather too. This coconut isn't screaming for your attention - she's perfectly balanced and effortless.
I first thought this might be a close dupe of the Coconut Milk Moisture mist from several years ago, but then realized it's an exact repackage of Exotic Coconut Body Splash. Comparing side by side with an old bottle, they seem nearly identical (aside from the older bottle's turning from age). Super exciting considering Exotic Coconut Body Splash was one of my staple fragrances in the 2000s that hadn't come back yet, and I've missed it for many years!
I love coconut fragrances in general, but am picky about the ones I keep. This is one I'll be getting back-up bottles of - it's so well done!

Remains linear while wearing:
you get the warm, creamy, coconutty-goodness the entire timeExcellent longevity for a mist:
when applied generously, it lasted 4+ hours on my skin and I could smell it on my clothes the next dayGreat sillage:
I regularly smelled a sweet, creamy trail when moving my arms around meAll-purpose:
seems like it would suit warm and cool weather, and is a "neutral"-enough coconut to be appropriate in many settings (general/daily, office, evening/outings)I love coconut fragrances in general, but am picky about the ones I keep. This is one I'll be getting back-up bottles of - it's so well done!
