Recommendations please 🙏

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

Jil Sander Sun smells exactly like sun cream.

Bronze goddess by Estée Lauder. It is the best

Nuxe Sun Delicious Fragrant Water. Amazing summer/beach/holiday smell. I get asked about it a lot.

They sell it in larger M&S with decent beauty section so you can perhaps go and try it?

Interested in this thread?

I have the sol de Janeiro 62 as well and it's very summery.

I tried a spritz of Victoria's Secret Poolside Service and remember thinking it was very summery.

Saltworks Surfari. It’s too sweet for me but is a classic sweet coconut sunscreen scent with a little bit of ozone too.

Bobbi brown beach long lasting and smells lovely

Creed Virgin Island Water £££ but dupe from perfume parlour is very good and long lasting

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

Have a look at the Avon Senses Aloha Monoi body mist - it smells very similar, if not the same .

I wish they did it as a body cream. I'm not keen on the ones that are solely coconut.

The lime is a bit too overwhelming for my liking.

I've used noted aroma for dupes before and found them very good for longevity and very like original. They do a tester for around £5, good if you want to try before you commit.

I have the St. Thomas but the lime note is too overwhelming.

Bath and Bodywork's At the Beach spray.
Smells lovely but doesn't last that long.
I once bought Bronze goddess too but that didn't last either

CornishTiger · 29/07/2024 23:25

I have just got sol de janiero 62 and 40 however I don’t feel they are very long lasting at all. Stunning though

Vanillalime · 29/07/2024 23:28

I was also coming on to say Avon Tahitian Holiday!! I used to wear it years ago & was just a pure coconut smell that lasted ages. I got lots of compliments wearing it.

Going on holiday soon and bought the M&S White Coconut perfume but agree it doesn’t last very long. I’d try to get the Avon one from eBay like a poster above suggested. 🥥 🌴

ZittiEBuoni · 29/07/2024 23:29

Bronze Goddess is unbeatable for this type of scent imo - it's my summer default but must admit I'm not as impressed with the longevity as I used to be. Having to top up more than I used to. Might try out the Next dupe.

lovemycbf · 29/07/2024 23:48

Alien goddess smells of coconut and lasts all day on me
Spendy but worth it imo

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 29/07/2024 23:53

Next Summer Sun.

mommatoone · 29/07/2024 23:55

I second bronze goddess for this type of smell. It's summer in a bottle for me. 🌞

I read bleach

Caudalie Soleil de Vignes- very yummy and Summery

Klippityklopp · 30/07/2024 00:40

Nivea perfume is very summery.
Sol de Janerio 62 is lovely especially when layered with the body lotion

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

I have this, it’s so lovely just like putting a sun cream on. I sometimes spray it just for a room in the winter as the smell just transports me to holidays.

ThePoshUns · 30/07/2024 07:16

Ooh not heard of nivea scent , will have to try it. I love that smell
