I find I get totally overwhelmed looking at perfumes online so I'm wondering if any of you could help me narrow it down ? I love tropical coconutty scents. I've found lots of body sprays that smell gorgeous but the smell fades in minutes .Also a big fan of figs but have yet to find a nice fig scent . Any tips or suggestions massively appreciated Flowers

Off the top of my head...

D&G Dolce Garden (sweet, creamy, coconut cocktail)

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess
Tom Ford Soleil Blanc
(Both beachy, sunscreen coconut)

Versace Crystal Noir (spicy, grown-up coconut musk)

Lancôme Tresor Nude (soft coconut-vanilla)

Or if you want a serious coconut slap in the face Grin) - Mancera Coco Vanille or Comptoir Sud Pacifique Coco Extreme

All quite different interpretations of coconut. Have a look at the different notes on www.fragrantica.com to get an idea.

For fig, have you tried Diptyque Philosykos?

Thanks really appreciate your reply ! I've actually had bronze goddess and loved it but the scent seemed to disappear after about half an hour so disappointing as it is beautiful. Lots of suggestions there I'm going off now to look them up !

Nuxe perfume is basically the smell of their dry oil - Not expensive and a really nice gardenia-coconut
Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude EDP - coconut-sandalwood - very creamy, sleek, enveloping fragrance.

Seconding Diptyque Philosykos, I especially like the solid perfume version.

Comptoir Sud Pacifique, Artisan Parfumeur both have figgy scents but I can't remember their names.
Acqua di Parma has one as well, which is a citrussy fig.
BG and Creed Virgin Island Water, both suncream and coconutty can be got on Perfume Parlour. So, cheap as chips. I have both and they are much longer lasting than the real thing.

Amouage Sunshine is totally divine.

I love shalimar

Currently trying Diptyque Philosykos it smells heavenly but fades so so quickly 🙁 I bought a miniature not sure that I'll splash out on the larger bottle. Going to hit perfume parlour and pick up some more to try thanks everyone for all your great tips Flowers

Acqua Di Parma have one called Fico Di Amalfi, which is my absolute favourite. A lovely, figgy scent.
