A budget perfume that smells like beach, coconut and sun lotion

Recommendations please 🙏

I recently bought M&S - White Coconut but it has little longevity.

I took Summer Sun from Next on holiday - it smells exactly as you describe and was something like £6. It naturally doesn’t have much longevity though being so cheap so I used it like a body spray really and just doused myself in it 😂 it smells absolutely divine I love it.

Next Summer Sun is supposed to be like Bronze Goddess, if that is the sort of thing you are looking for?

grannysbay · 29/07/2024 19:59

Nuxe Sun? Longevity not as good as a full perfume. But does smell of summer holidays. Lovely bottle too.....

I love white coconut but agree it doesn't last. Following along in case someone can recommend something similar!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 29/07/2024 20:00

And yes, the longevity of the Next perfumes isn't massive, but definitely better than the M&S ones, which smell nice when you spray then but then 5 minutes later they are gone.

If you want a cheap option then use coconut shampoo and soap, coconut moisturiser and coconut body spray. Layering up will increase longevity.

Have you tried M&S - Under The Palm Trees?

I want to try it but I'm guessing its longevity probably isn't any better.

Reveal by Calvin Klein and it's often on offer on Amazon

What does it smell like to you? Looks like it doesn't have a coconut note.

Summer Sun by Next. I love it.

Summer Sun by Next. I love it.

I've read that it has a gingery note to it which I definitely don't want.

What does it smell like to you?

As someone mentioned Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess.

Snooki · 29/07/2024 20:22

Cloud by Ariana Grande is a bit coconutty

I have it, it is lovely but it doesn’t last very well.

l’ve recently bought Lattafa - Qaed Al Fursan off Amazon. I saw it recommended on Instagram and it’s lovely! A really nice coconut / pineapple scent. Only £12 and really long lasting.

CharmingGeorge · 29/07/2024 20:25

Another vote for Next Summer Sun. No ginger in it to my nose and I don’t like ginger either.

myusernamewastakenbyme · 29/07/2024 20:28

There is one by Avon...I cant remember what its called...its in a blue bottle...I will go and have a google.

BettyBootsie · 29/07/2024 20:28

JLo Miami Glow is lovely and quite often on offer - sort of coconut/pineapple "beachy" scent

LivelyBlake · 29/07/2024 20:29

Try the Sol de Janeiro ones. Beach in a bottle!

Eminybob · 29/07/2024 20:30

Nivea sun. Smells like the sun cream but in a nice perfumey way.

Moonshine5 · 29/07/2024 20:30

Do they last @LivelyBlake

spikeandbuffy · 29/07/2024 20:31

Next summer sun, no ginger note to me
Hawaiian tropical golden paradise body spray is a nice one too

myusernamewastakenbyme · 29/07/2024 20:32

The Avon one is called Tahitian Holiday but looks like its discontinued....lots available on ebay though.
