Recommendations please 🙏

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

Hawaiian tropic, the
body spray it seems to last ages , I can still smell it at the end of the day

Do they last @LivelyBlake

I find they do. I've only tried the Cheirosa, and it smells delicious. It's more a mist than a perfume and you can use it on your hair as well as the skin. Really summery and beachy.

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

Edited

Others say it smells like soap or shampoo?

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

Which one do you recommend?

I don’t detect ginger in Summer Sun

Have a look on eden perfumes. Search for the scents you want. They're proper perfumes not easy du toilette so they last ages. They do a sample box of 5 for £39 so you could trial a few different ones.

Body shop do a plain vanilla which I think smells like suncream. Bit more expensive I have a lovely Laura Mercier one that smells gorgeous almond coconut

I actually had a look earlier today and am trying to decide between Walking on the Beach and Alien Goddess dupe.

Have you tried either of them?

Bronze goddess by Estée Lauder smells amazing, it's like a tropical beachy coconut smell and the scent lasts really well. Not sure if it's a bit pricier than you wanted but I saw it on eBay for £35 or Debenhams it's £44.

I think Next - Summer Sun is a dupe of Bronze Goddess.

Have you tried both?

Another vote for Next Summer Sun it's very very similar to the Estee Lauder!!!!

Also the Hawaiian Tropic after sun body butter (green tub in home bargains) is heavenly

Is it long-lasting?

DKNY Be Delicious- coconuts about summer

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.

That's what I came here to recommend - I had the tester pack of the brand and liked them so much I actually went back today and bought a full sized bottle.

I haven't unfortunately. I have the bronze goddess though and it's one of my favourite scents for summer so I'll definitely keep an eye out for the dupe.

Sexy Amber perfume by Michael Kors. Maybe not very coconutty but I recently smelled it on a friend and asked her what sun cream she was wearing because it smelled delicious!

Yes, very!

I would try a body spray ( cheap with coconut notes) and your next or m& s one.

I used to wear J’Adore, and no one ever mentioned it, until I wore a nice vanilla body spray ( not cake smelling)

Then everyone commented on it
