Beachy coconut done right
This is a beautiful, balanced coconut. It really delivers on what the name promises, feels beachy and summery without smelling like sunscreen.
Obviously coconut is the star of the show here, followed by a warming vanilla base and a seabreeze-like salty note. It's quite creamy, which I always prefer over dry coconut husk scents, and while it's sweet, it doesn't cross the line to that cheap coconut-scented air freshener smell. In the opening I get a hint of citrus that makes me think of sweet limes. Later the florals become more apparent to round out the coconut scent. Frangipani adds that beachy, tropical feeling, but doesn't feel too oily like it sometimes does in other fragrances.
I'm surprised how good this is. I have tried the two vanilla fragrances by The Seven Virtues before, and both did not work for me. I'm a huge vanilla lover, but both had undertones I found offputting. Because of that, I didn't expect Coconut Sun to be "just right" on so many levels.
Salty vanilla and coconut fragrances are not exactly rare at the moment, so this doesn't reinvent the wheel, but I find it much smoother than many of them. It's a little similar to JHAG Vanilla Vibes, but the coconut makes it more exciting to me.
