What perfume/body cream leaves a waft of summery coconut whiff?

A woman walked passed me today and in her wake left a trail of coconut summery smell. It was stronger than a body cream or shampoo so I think it must be a perfume or body spray.

Who the hell makes a coconut smelling perfume?

Any thoughts?

I've got a nice Body Shop one that I bought yonks ago. Very summery.

Bronze Goddess!

OOh - what's it called @ElvisPresleyHadABaby?
Do they still make it do you know?

It was lovely! I only realised after she'd long gone and I turned round to see the source disappearing into the distance otherwise I'd have asked her!

This is the one I have, appears to be discontinued but is still available on Amazon and second hand!

NoviceNewMN · 04/08/2021 20:33

Thanks so much everybody. I knew you'd collectively know! I will have to to investigate!!

Diesel Zero Plus Feminine was definitely coconut scented. Very summery. I think it's been reformulated recently so you might want to test it. Thinks Boots have it. Diesel perfumes often seem to turn up in bargain shops too.

Yeah
It'll be estee lauder bronze goddess

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc just smells like holidays to me. It’s expensive but there’s a body spray snd body oil that leave a waft and are cheaper than the fragrance

I wear Laura Mercier almond coconut body cream - could it be that? Also have the almond vanilla which is equally delish and get comments on both all the time

villamariavintrapp · 04/08/2021 20:37

Sun cream?

VienneseWhirligig · 04/08/2021 20:39

Hawaiian Tropic do a lovely body spray called Tropical Oasis that is really summery.

BillyBearSpam · 04/08/2021 20:39

Avon do one, smells so summery! And cheap. I think there's a body spray also, not sure on lotion.

Agree with the Tom Ford above, but Bronze Goddess is almost identical and much cheaper. Agree with everyone saying it just smells like summer, I only ever wear the above on really hot days, anything less than about 24 degrees and it just seems wrong.

goldpendant · 04/08/2021 20:42

Bronze Goddess and the Tom Ford Soleil! Both lovely.

goldpendant · 04/08/2021 20:43

And yes to pp- they are very similar but bronze goddess cheaper. Given I use it like a spritz in hot weather and on holiday only I can't justify the Tom Ford!

Italiandreams · 04/08/2021 20:44

Next do one called Summer Sun that sounds similar, cheap too
I love bronze goddess though, just makes me think of holidays

Happyoldbat · 04/08/2021 20:47

Where were you? Years ago, I thought I kept smelling Body shop coconut hair gel on the coast path, but then realised it was the scent of the gorse.

waltzingparrot · 04/08/2021 20:51

M&S do a lovely one called White Coconut

Mankyfruitbowl · 04/08/2021 20:52

Aldi do a Bronze Goddess dupe for about a fiver - it's called something predictable, "Summer Queen" I think.

DobbleWobble · 05/08/2021 09:39

I second the next summer sun one, it's lovely and reminds me of being on holiday in some exotic destination, even on a wet Thursday in southern England Grin

badacorn · 05/08/2021 09:54

Try Victoria Secret perfumes

ZombeaArthur · 06/08/2021 07:20

I have DKNY Coconuts about summer which, although not as coconutty as the name may suggest is lovey and summery. I also have Nivea sun which smells like sun cream.

I think if you want a real coconut smell, a body lotion may be the way to go and I agree with the poster who suggested Hawaiian Tropic, such summery scents.
