Cheirosa '39 Coco Cabana Cheirosa '39 Sol de Janeiro 2019

Is it worth getting this re-release?
At first whiff, it smells like warm baked goods. Hubby said it made him want a bear claw. I said it smelled like a coconut macaroon (not a macaron). Then it smelled like coconut cake or birthday cake, the kind made from a standard boxed white cake mix. Might as well say it smelled like cake batter, which would have been fine if it stayed there.
I guess based on the bottle's description: "Unwind in paradise with notes of coconut cream, tropical orchid, and toasted praline," I expected something more summer by the pool vs. summer in Solvang (a town with tons of Danish bakeries). What does "praline" smell like, btw, sugar?
There is a pool-like note that emerges, unfortunately for me more plasticky, maybe also a hint of Play Doh (what many "vanilla" scents smell like on me). It's kind of fun I guess, but not as "me" as a few of the other cheirosa fragrances. I'm glad hubby said he likes it, but it isn't love, and it didn't transport him to memory lane like a couple of the others did, or cause him to snuffle up to my neck.
