Vanille Coco Comptoir Sud Pacifique 2003

First when you spray it you get a a really intense vanilla-tropical fruit mix. It only takes seconds to settle down and reveal a sweet, warm scent of coconut, banana, vanilla and whipped cream all nicely blended together. I m not sure about the heliotrope but I think its there to enrich the vanilla note and gives a slightly powdery effect (only a little). It stays close to the skin and the thing I love is that it does not smell synthetic at all to me and that its not a one-dimensional Coconut scent. When you smell it on your wrist its very foody and very comforting. It surrounds you like an embracing, sweet and gentle veil.

Now, I have to mention how people around me perceive it! There is something alluring in this fragrance, a characteristic you cannot predict when you smell it on yourself. Every time I wear it I get many compliments and I have people coming close and taking sniffs leaving comments like "Whats this, Vanilla, Coconut?", the funny thing being that they re not sure what it is because its not the usual vanilla coconut smelling scent, it leaves a milky sweet, irresistible aura... Many people have also stated that it smells like cookies!

SILLAGE as I mentioned is not a monster but it leaves a very pleasant aura
LONGEVITY good, I usually reapply during the day to invigorate the notes but that does not bother me at all.

I think its a must try for people who like milky sweets not to exclude others as well who maybe want to try something different from their usual likes!
