Cozy & Creamy Coconut Scents
Where I live, it's normally fairly warm in the winter - but the colder-than-usual weather means I've been craving something rich, cozy, and creamy. Dessert-like coconut fragrances are the perfect antidote to "winter blues": something decadent to envelop and warm, with a touch of the tropics to lift any mood. 🥥 Here are some of my least, and most, favorite creamy coconut scents:
Dislike:
1) 
Lait Concentré
This started with condensed milk in a metallic can, and a hint of creamy coconut - but these elements disappeared as it moved quickly into a buttery mozzarella cheese.
2) 
Tutti Délices - Coconut Cocktail
With a cupcake bottle design and a line name like "Tutti Délices", I expected something much more gourmand. In reality, this is more like coconut sunscreen: coconut palm leaf, coconut water, and natural coconut. Not the creamy coconut dessert I was hunting for.
3) 
Cheirosa '71
This is wildly popular, and has been compared to coconut macaroon cookies/biscuits, caramel popcorn, and more. But sadly, this creamy coconut confection turns synthetic with my skin chemistry - so it's one I'm unable to personally enjoy.
4) 
Crème de Coco
While this blend reminds me a lot of an "Almond Joy" coconut candy bar, it is unfortunately a bit too artificial for my own liking. If you live near a Claire's store, you can test for free - to see if your nose interprets it differently.
Enjoy:
1) 
Almond Eclair
If you've ever wanted to smell like a Raffaello bonbon, look no further. When many coconut notes can be too artificial, this instead has a non-synthetic shredded coconut, rich vanilla cream with full fat, and a hint of almond - like the delicate, thinly-sliced liqueur-soaked almonds in an almond cake. Absolutely delicious, projects well, and lasts!
2) 
Angel Food Cologne
Picture an eggy, creamy, vanilla-coconut custard blended beautifully - like a delicious coconut flan in a bottle. The egg whites, vanilla, sugar, and coconut notes are all present. It's a light, fluffy, sweet gourmand combination that I haven't smelled anywhere else.
3) 
Bali Black Coconut Sands
Bali Black Coconut Sands is the closest I've found to a true coconut cream pie scent, without being cloying or synthetic. To my nose it's a thick coconut cream, paired with rich custard and a hint of sugary musk - and feels like a tasty tropical delight!

I wish I got more coconut out of Blanche Bete too, I think that would have been a very nice touch.
Thank you for commenting, I appreciate hearing your thoughts! 🤗
Would love to hear what you think if you get to test Angel Food and/or Almond Eclair! I agree the Almond Eclair bottle is totally adorable - and it really does smell soooo delicious!! 😋
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, it means a lot to me! 🥰
But then there’s also "Hamaca | 27 87 Perfumes" which I do adore! It’s just got that perfect summer vibe going on.
I totally know what you mean about coconut notes that come across too dry, and how that can ruin a fragrance.
But Hamaca sounds like a lovely choice for summer, I'm glad you enjoy it and appreciate you sharing!
What are the two fragrances that you enjoy, that have that as part of their pyramid?
So sorry about the nausea; I used to feel nauseous from the smell of shredded coconut in real life when I was a kid, so I think I understand what you mean. I'm not sure what caused me to "grow out" of that, but I know the reactions to different scents can be very real!
Always appreciate your comments 🤗 thank you!
And based on the notes of Vaiana Masque, it sounds gorgeous - I love tuberose, jasmine, and tiaré so I definitely need to check this one out.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your comment! 😊
