Balinese Coconut Nest 2022 Perfume Oil

My first time trying out perfume oils and so far it is quite lovely! I think the rollerball of my sampler (not the real bottle) has a bit of difficulties in rolling out the oil, but other than that it's nice. I have a few perfumes containing coconut I have to try out, so I wanted to test this one first because coconut is one of its main notes and won't be drowned out by other notes and accords.

The coconut here is creamy, slightly sweet and plenty lactonic. It avoids the powdery territory which I found nice. There's no sunscreen vibe but since it's coconut, there is this association with beach vacations. I did smell a luscious and heavier scent in the background which seems to be the accompanying tiaré (although I have never smelled this flower on its own). It gave off a heady aspect to the coconut. I started detecting musk about 20 minutes later and that is when things started to go downhill. Usually it plays nice on my skin but, in a few instances, it turns out dirty (and not in the best way). I have yet to discover why. The dirty musk striked and started ruining my overall appreciation of the perfume. I would've prefered if it hadn't been there.

It still remains a nice flowery coconut oil that gave a nice glow to the skin where I applied it. I haven't given up yet on coconut notes and I'm hoping one day I'll find one that's nice, but this was not it. I will not be going forward with this oil mainly because of the musk, but that doesn't mean it couldn't work for you. I recommend trying and not blind-buying.
