A coconut dream that became a mirage
I thought it was fate this time. Everywhere I read about the delicate coconut water - soft, light, sunny. Everything about it screamed: "We belong together." So I ordered blindly, hoping that I had found my summer perfume for 2025.
I imagined a bowl of crystal clear coconut water, Raffaello between my fingers, the beach warm beneath my feet. A breeze from the sea played with my hair, somewhere a peony beckoned to me. I was sure that if I believed hard enough, this scent would take me there.
But what came next was not a gentle coconut idyll. It was a tropical fruit bomb, sticky-sweet, heavy like a dense summer day without shade. Not a hint of lightness, but a sultry haze that almost smothered me. The beach turned into a shimmering desert, my dream disintegrated into heat and headache.
I wanted the sound of the sea - but I got an overloaded tropical storm. And it stayed. For over five hours.
A mirage, beautiful from a distance. But up close: a fragrance that promised me a lot, but delivered none of it.
