Synthetic coconut that couldn't be saved by the white flowers...
I was introduced to Skylar because of Vanilla Sky and Fall Cashmere. One of them will have to be tested again now that I'm farther down the rabbit hole of fragrance (I remember not liking the coffee as much), but the second one was an instant love and now a staple in my collection. I was thus interested in going through the whole house. I got the opportunity to snag a travel sample size of Coconut Cove instead of buying a travel size and I'm so glad I did.
The user votes about the main accords of this perfume are pretty spot on. It's extremely synthetic and that is the first thing that repulsed me. I have previously smelled other perfumes containing coconut and Coconut Cove has a plastic aspect to it that is not enjoyable. I can't even associate the coconut to sunscreen or beach vacations because I find it way off. The sweet part is not that obvious to my nose although I do smell it a bit (as an afterthought). The creamy accord clearly comes from the white flowers in the middle note but even they can't save this whole scent. I did smell a faint fresh lemony scent at the beginning but it was immediately overwhelmed by the plastic coconut that's clearly the star trying to hog the spotlight.
I'm sad to say this will not be an addition to my collection. I really love Skylar, but this is not it. Save your money and go look elsewhere if you're in search of a nice coconut scent.
