Not as coconutty as I would have liked
"Where is the coconut?", was one of the first things I uttered when I tried Indian Coconut Nectar for the first time. It smelt a lot like cherry flavoured cough syrup which reminded me of feeling ill as a child. This was not that delicious, foody coconut on a tropical island that I was searching for.
The opening was very sweet and gooey, with a strong cherry accord. My father was quick to comment that I smelt like a lollipop. The sweetness actually made me feel a little self-conscious, so I was quick to cover my wrists with a thick jacket sleeve to subdue the sillage.
For at least the first hour or so, Indian Coconut Nectar seemed to be all about the cherries, until thankfully the heart introduced the 'coconut'. This coconut accord is perhaps more vanillary than most, also a tad synthetic. It's not dry, nor is it tropical. On the skin it smells pleasing enough, however it's not what I'd call a truthful interpretation of coconut. I've owned lotions and lip balms that smell more coconutty than this.
My disappointment has evidently spilled over into this review. I find the name very misleading. To be fair, I have given this fragrance two chances, and I found that on the second day of wearing, Indian Coconut Nectar has a rather pretty drydown, which is probably the most coconutty you'll get from this composition.
The scent's good points include its rather strong sillage and great longevity. The drydown, as I mentioned before, is commendable. I only wish that the whole composition was as satisfying. This review is for the EDT, however from what I've read, the solid perfume is much better.
