Only for hardcore coconut enjoyers

This smells like coconut, vanilla and not much else. Very one-dimensional and extremely sticky-sweet. On the plus side, the "nectar" descriptor in the name describes the texture quite well - at least in the opening this is a lush, non-dry coconut that feels too sweet to be coconut water, but not thick enough to be coconut milk. Then it has a short phase of dry coconut flakes and ultimately dries down to something more creamy and vanillic.
It reminds me a bit of the infamous Yves Rocher coconut from the 90s, which I don't remember fondly. Honestly, I generally like coconut and gourmands, but this slaps you in the face with its artificial sweetness. I'm not a fan at all.

I bought a Pacifica sample set on my holidays in the USA this spring, so I'm sure tried the version that is in the new bottle. Even though Parfumo lists this as a new perfume at the moment, I'm pretty sure they just added some notes for marketing reasons and a more accurate description and didn't change the scents drastically. All samples I tried smell just like the reviews for the older bottles say.
In this case I think the new notes make the fragrance sound more exciting than it is.
