A small note on the 'coconut confusion'
Gorse = Broom
Gorse = Gorse
Gorse, grows everywhere in the British Isles. Very much near the coast and also directly on cliffs.
The flowers are yellow, just like gorse, which we know here and especially from the Mediterranean region. The growth is also similar.
However, the scent of the flowers is completely different.
Gorse has an intense (intoxicating) coconut scent. Not similar, really one to one coconut.
With a very 'soft undertone', which, in my opinion, is also characteristic of continental European species. Creaminess, you could perhaps say.
In spring and early summer, there is sometimes a tropical coconut scent in the air in a whole area that is wind and weather battered and rather rough.
... in contrast to these hallig-like Caribbean islands, made of sand and coconut palms, which are rather odorless.
I don't want to say any more about the fragrance itself at this point. In general, I don't find any of the fragrances from this brand to be really bad or unpleasant. However, they are a little too synthetic and much less 'niche' and high quality than they are portrayed (at least in the UK).
