Not my coconut
I love coconut, but it's also a hit or miss note for me. When it hits, it really does, but sometimes it misses the mark badly. Unfortunately this is an example for the latter.

The opening is sweet coconut with a dry, woodsy texture. Closer to grated coconut than coconut milk. The sweetness in this reminds me of older, cheaper interpretations of coconut, like that Yves Rocher Noix de Coco fragrance I had as a teenager or coconut scented air fresheners.
But the scent quickly turns very ozonic and bracing, like fragrances with a oceanic or salty accord tend to be. I can sense no trace of vanilla, which is disappointing to me. This is not the creamy, tropical kind of coconut that I prefer.

I think it might be suitable for those who want a coconut fragrance without the tropical florals or gourmand accents that most of them have. Maybe it would work better for men (or other people with masculine leaning tastes), as the ozonic, aquatic side of this is reminiscent of typical male-marketed products.
Molecule C-19 certainly closes a gap in the coconut fragrance market, but it's not the kind of scent I imagine when I think about the beach. For my taste it's way too harsh and scratchy.

My nightmare to spray
I love coconut, the thought of a nice coconut scent makes my heart beat faster. Summery coconut, with a hint of sun cream, softly whipped cream on top, wow, what more could you want?
This fragrance sounds just perfect to me, not too sweet, not too floral, just a coconut on a woody base. Perfect! Isn't it?

The first spray? Disillusioning! Instead of a summery coconut, I was greeted by a rancid coconut scent. No elegance, no summer feeling, but as if the sun cream had been left in the sun for days, rancid and old.
But I wanted to give the fragrance a chance, I wanted to test it for longer, I really wanted to try it.

And then, on day three, the mishap happened. The perfume bottle slipped out of my hand. Was it an act of self-sabotage? - or perhaps fate?
Glass breakage and a first-class oil spill. The liquid ran over the fittings, the tiles, the grouting and under the bathroom cabinet. I frantically tried to stop the oil slick with a towel, but to no avail. But the stuff is tough, greasy, brutally oily. It's not like it's the first perfume I've ever dropped, but this was an oil spill in a class of its own. A bad coconut nightmare spread through my bathroom.

But worse than the mess? The smell! Instead of the smell getting less, it got more and more intense every day with the underfloor heating. And someone says the smell is weak. For days, my bathroom smelled not of summer and sun cream, but of rancid, old coconut. No amount of airing or scrubbing helped. I guess we'll have to get through it now.

The bottom line? A disaster. And what's left behind? A completely traumatized me.

If you're looking for a summery coconut, you've definitely come to the wrong place. Please keep looking and don't let the bottle fall out of your hand.

In search of the real coconut
... I kissed many frogs until I found my prince

I certainly don't know them all, but I have really tested my way through many coconut fragrances. Everything from cheapies to niche. Many coconuts were always too much for me mixed with vanilla, pineapple,
Cane sugar or similar so that these components didn't really give the coconut its space. Everything quickly came across as very synthetic. When I was allowed to test this one, it quickly became my favorite, finally an authentic, slightly watery, not too sweet overloaded coconut, no frills. It works in summer at any time of day or night and gives me vacation vibes from the very first second. Great love

Uh, it gives me the creeps
Today I went to my trusted perfumery for the first time in a long time, and I have to say that there is only one here in the country. A little bored, I stood in front of the only perfume shelf and was approached by a very nice young saleswoman. She asked me if I had ever tried this one and, with glowing eyes, held out C-19 to me and began to explain ISO to me. This was after she had sheepishly put Daisy back when she must have noticed the confused look on my face. C 4 tells me something, ISO E is great too, I just don't necessarily like chemicals on my skin, but who am I kidding: perfumes are chemicals for the most part. I don't want to be like that because the sales clerk smiles at me so friendly.
A sweet, slightly creamy cloud envelops me and at first I have to say that I quite like it. My nostrils widen a little and, full of hope, I dare to inhale more deeply through my nose, all under the lady's expectant eyes.
Coconut, very clear, is the next thing I notice and I get summery feelings, which is quite something when it's minus 15 degrees and snowing outside. When I'm already in a good mood, it happens. The coconut beach loses its sweetness and in my mind's eye the white sandy beach turns into a brown swamp of washed up brown algae that has been bobbing around in the sun for too long. I don't perceive this smell continuously, but it comes in gentle breezes, unfortunately but constantly. I suspect it is the ISO that is spoiling my coconut beach here. After half an hour, it's the only thing that remains, it's always like that. It promises you the blue sky and in the end you're left with that eternally annoying and same ISO note.
Because I don't want to disappoint the lady, I tell her that I want to wait until I've arrived at the base to be able to judge it properly. I decide to buy chewing bones for our dog and lo and behold, I am approached by 3 customers in the pet shop about the great perfume. I am speechless and make my way home where our dog is already happily waiting for me. It's the first time he hasn't wanted a chew bone..

Am I scent-blind....or what
Today in turquoise...still have time before my shift starts...already 22 degrees, we want clean freshies, past Black Opium and Co, the house brands, yes quite nice, but I'd rather put something on it and get something proper.... Zarkoperfume....this is the right place, I thought I'd spray my favorite after The Muse I'm not walking around with my 100 ml bottle, I reach blindly for the bottle and think....hööö, sweet wood, matches, somehow an unpleasant note, bitter vanilla...now I remember! Do you still know the envelopes that don't stick themselves? You're actually supposed to moisten them, who hasn't "licked" them? lol I was going to write with my tongue...you know what I mean. And that strange, synthetic, woody taste, I'll never forget it. The trauma caught up with me today. Just like this coating tastes in the envelopes, that's how Molécule C-19 - The Beach smells

Dry wood, musk, creamy and definitely unisex. A unusual clean girl coconut scent I would say, and a good one.

The opening reminds me of a coco liquor Malibu but the rest is delicious and airy. It has right amount of aquatic, sweet and musky aspect.
