Coconut Fragrance?

31 replies

WarriorQueen · 27/03/2012 13:40

I am looking for a lovely coconut fragrance for the summer, something that smells like holidays !

I have had no luck yet with a perfume so I am slapping on coconut body butter but the smell only lasts a little while.

Does anyone know of any good coconutty smelling fragances?

Thank ladies

Watching with interest

Do Body Shop still do their oil perfumes? They did a coconut one for many years.

StellaAndFries · 27/03/2012 14:08

I'm sure the diesel in the red bottle used to have a coconut scent to it.

Yep just had a google and it's this one Zero plus feminine.

AmberLeaf · 27/03/2012 14:09

how about these?

harajuku lovers perfume - gorgeous!

Diesel in a red bottle and I think Michael Kors perfume smells of coconut.

ChiefPotterer · 27/03/2012 14:39

I know its not perfume but M&S do the most beautiful coconut handwash and body lotion-£2 a bottle and the fragrance really lingers-smells like holiday in a bottle!.

prettyanddainty · 27/03/2012 14:39

That sephora one isn't that nice imo, it is a little girls smell not a womans, but just My opinion.

Estee lauder's bronze goddess utterly holiday in a bottle. Is one of those scents that doesn't last ages tho so I spray more into my hair etc so it wafts every so often. I save my boots points and go thru at least a bottle each summer. I have lots of perfumes and go off them frequently but bronze goddess is just perfect and I think I've had about 8 bottles in total over the last few years! it isn't out all year though so might be worth asking at a counter when they're getting it?

Creed's Virgin Island Water. But £££'s !!!

Neena28 · 27/03/2012 17:00

Oh yes anniewoo I have that too but I don't love it like I do the bronze goddess. I think I like my coconut like suntan lotion!!!

Catsmamma · 27/03/2012 17:02

i'd give another vote for the Diesel in the red bottle....i used to love that!

granule · 27/03/2012 17:05

Beware - EL changed the scent of Bronze Goddess last summer so if you want the lurvely coconutty one you'll have to look on eBay for the 2010 version.

CherryLip · 27/03/2012 17:10

Elephant by Kenzo!

Stilla · 27/03/2012 17:20

I was asking about Bronze Goddess last week (its out end April) There is the original and then a limited one - last year it was Soleil ,this year the limited one is (if I remember correctly) called Capri .

granule · 27/03/2012 17:38

oh good news if the Soleil one was a limited ed, thanks Stilla. Ignore what I said about Ebay then, OP. I can buy a new bottle of BG this summer then, hurrah.

Stilla · 27/03/2012 17:50

Well not really granule I liked the Soleil Sad and was gutted to find out it was just for 2011.

Neena28 · 27/03/2012 19:42

This years 'flanker' to BG is called capri. They always do the original but the flanker changes. EL originally did a tom ford fragrance called Azure Soleil. It was in the most beautiful bottle and was my favourite scent of all time. The following year EL did a fragrance that wasn't linked to anyone in particular and was supposed to be unrelated to the AS. It was very similar tho. That was BGN for a couple of years it was just BG then these flankers started coming too. One year an oil with sparkle, the next a 'take' on BG. Now there should be an oil, a fraiche spray and a lotion and also BG range of make up. The capri version I think is supposed to be a lemony version but I'm not 100% sure.

I think Hypnotic Poison by Dior smells a bit coconutty...

HazleNutt · 28/03/2012 19:37

this is pure coconut www.comptoir-sud-pacifique.com/gamme-produit/produit/6/463/coco-extreme.html

PrimaBallerina · 28/03/2012 19:48

Miami Glow by Jennifer Lopez ( if you can overlook that) smells like coconutty sun tan lotion.

GhastlyBespoke · 28/03/2012 19:51

I wear the Body Shop coconut oil as a fragrance in the good weather and frequently get asked what I'm wearing as it smells like holidays. (specifically Hawaiian TropicGrin)
