Here comes a scent that I have never heard of before. But that's a good thing, as you always get to know more fragrances and brands. The problem, however, or rather MY problem, is that I can never decide what I want to get next (thank goodness I've mostly tested women's fragrances lately!). After all, I'm not as much of a fragrance fanatic as you freaks here who have to have everything :D
But anyway, this fragrance actually came as a sample for a very dear friend, well, one takes advantage of such situations and treats oneself to a little spritz for testing purposes (he he he, now she only has 9.5 mL of this scent left), and since there are figs listed in the fragrance pyramid, I was even more curious about the scent.
The scent:
The scent immediately starts with a lovely coconut that initially seems quite intense, but is soon softened by greener notes, making the top note appear a bit fresher. Meanwhile, you can smell the lovely figs, which remain somewhat in the background in terms of intensity.
The fragrance is slightly sweet, gentle, and a bit creamy, likely due to the vanilla, which later makes the scent slightly powdery together with the tonka bean.
In the heart note, there’s milk foam listed, but I’m not quite sure how that smells.
Actually, it smells much more of coconut the whole time, along with the lightly powdery and softening vanilla. Unfortunately, the figs and the greenish notes quickly fade further into the background (starting from the heart note) and soon become a thing of the past.
In the base, according to the fragrance pyramid, fig is listed again, but the scent continues to smell of coconut, with the vanilla becoming more intense (though if you lean in close to the sprayed area and concentrate hard, you can still perceive a bit of fig). In the end, it only smells of sweet coconut and gentle vanilla, although it appears soft but no longer powdery. The coconut is actually the strongest note at all times and might seem too dry or stuffy to some.
Longevity and sillage:
The coconut scent has an incredible longevity of more than twelve to fourteen hours. Even after washing the sprayed area, the scent is still very noticeable.
The sillage is quite decent and sufficient to be sniffed out from a distance. It’s not particularly room-filling (with normal dosing), but it could leave a small scent trail, and as mentioned, over a longer period.
The bottle:
Well,… the bottle doesn’t exactly make a great impression. It looks more like a deodorant can or something of the sort. It is silver, cylindrical, and the name and brand are on the front. What’s nice is that the scent has a rather nicely designed, vacation-like logo both on the bottom of the bottle and on the blue label.
I find the bottle okay, but it could have been much better.
Ah, Coco Figue smells better in my opinion than the average rating here suggests. The main fragrance notes are coconut and vanilla, while all other fragrance notes lose their intensity too quickly. Moreover, the scent smells natural. It may be that intense coconut fragrances are not everyone’s cup of tea, but Coco Figue smells good and will please anyone who likes coconut.
The scent feels heavy, yet it is still a spring and summer fragrance. The best opportunity to wear such scents is actually only on vacation, especially by the sea, where you can also use the scent well in the evenings when going out (that is, at vacation spots, not IN the sea). In a pinch, you could also use it here by the lake, but a vacation is just perfect for such a scent. I just wish the figs were stronger…
*sigh* … now I would love to be somewhere by the sea… :(
Be that as it may, the scent is not outstanding, but it can be used quite well on vacation. So anyone planning a vacation soon (*sigh*), should take a look at this scent.
