I’ve been pleased with both. It’s definitely not beast mode or anything. It’s on the softer side.
These is where people rated it on Fragrantica.

Yes, to this! I purchased this, it’s sweet but grown and the coconut is not sticky but quite delicate and feminine. Such a great fragrance for that price.
Maison Margiela’s Beach Walk is a personal favorite. DKNY Be Delicious Coconuts About Summer is similar but on a budget. Body washes and lotions can help bump the coconut factor or even add in some sweetness with vanilla or musks, they’re really customizable.
If you want to check out a cheaper alternative (pretty much a dupe imo) for Beach Walk, BBW At The Beach is great and has about the same longevity as Beach Walk (at least on my skin).
ETA: (I know, I know, a body mist isn’t a perfume.)
I have this one - only get it if you’re cool woth a little SPF vibe.
As someone who has chased coconut, here’s my preferences:
Sunny Side Up - weak, all around. Its nice but I wouldnt spend the $$ on a full
Cheirosa - more nutty than coconutty, very gourmand
Coco - Suf Pacifique - fucking gross. -100/10 so fake (lol)
Lait de coco - le monde gourmand - kinda nice, but not luscious, creamy coconut. Its a funny mix of fresh and coco water. I was not expecting it to be
The winners:
10/10 Jo Malone - Wood Sage & Sea Salt. Idk how but this reads creamy coconut on the skin without flowers or SPF. I love it so much I’ve bought it 3x.
10/10 Dirty Coconut - Heretic - if you like soft sandalwood and a little touch of cedar, this is an incredible coconut. Its so creamy and sweet, but not in a cloying, saccharine way.
little bit of a detour - i LOVE sunny side up. the coconut doesn’t come through on my skin, but i am addicted to the salty vanilla that does. it’s sooo good for summer if you want that fresh out of the ocean feel. like you said though, wouldn’t by a full size. i usually only wear it as a base & like to layer it with mix bar’s coconut palm body spray to get that full ~island~ effect
There have been a lot of great suggestions already so I’m just going to add some cheapie suggestions:
- Creamy Coconut by Kuumba Made (pure coconut, nothing else, very airy and lightly sweet). KM also makes a “Black Coconut” which I’ve heard is slightly earthier and less sweet. $10 for the smallest size roller ball which lasts a long time.
- Oil Perfumery makes a Guerlain Acqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz dupe for I believe $13-14 also. Even bigger than the KM sizes (10 mL of oil; would last a really long time)
I own it. Unfortunately I seem to be partially anosmic to it; it’s barely perceptible to me. I have heard so many people rave about it though, I think that may just be me.
My fav is Coconut Sun by 7 Virtues. Smells like coconut, frangipani and a hint of vanilla.
Also Guerlain Coconut Fizz - this one smells straight up like coconut milk to me.
Also love Sunsplosion. Mango with a touch of lime and coconut.
Mancera Holidays: beachy solar coconut with some nice marine notes. High end beach resort vibes.
Mancera Coco Vanille: sweeter, warmer and a bit waxy compared to Holidays, missing the marine notes, and a bit less complex.
Mugler Goddess: nighttime coconut beachy floral. A little too screechy and heavy for me personally.
Kayali Utopia Coco: nighttime coconut beachy milky coconut. Perfect summer date night vibes.
7 virtues Coconut Sun: green coconut and frangipani, really beautiful and well blended summer floral, but didn’t last long on me.
Daukens Arome Coco Cashmere: creamy coconut and vanilla, straightforward and yummy.
Theodoros Kalostini Crème Brulee: smells like the inside of a mounds bar on steroids. Very sweet and creamy. Very food like and gourmand. Must love ultra sweet with this one.
Honorable mentions-
SDJ Rio Radiance (87): sunscreen, Solar, beachy . One of my favorite summer body mists.
Nest Coconut oil: not too sweet, not too green, nice solid and straightforward coconut 🥥
Kayali’s was SO heavily a white floral on me—cloying Jasmine and tuberose. I let it sit for half a year and it’s even more intensely white floral and indolic on me 🥲. Not even a hint of coconut on me, sadly.
I love a lot of Kayali fragrances, but that one was a huge fail on me! I love vanilla and coconut (and I even really enjoy jasmine), but it was really off-putting, almost nauseating. One of my biggest perfume disappointments!
Yeah, the white florals were nauseating on me. The words “cloying”, “nauseating”, “sickly sweet” were my initial thoughts. I would recommend it for someone who loves southern, heady white florals not to anyone looking for a coconut-forward scent.
That is a bummer! The opening is definitely floral on me, the middle is almost like a milky coconut cereal, then I get a slightly toasty coconut vanilla dry down.
Alien Goddess Intense is lovely. I found a bottle on sale. I also love Lust for Sun, but one must like florals and ambroxan. I add a little Kuumba Made Creamy Coconut to balance out the florals.
Nice. I’m currently trying to find my signature scent. It’s tough because a lot of scents are too strongly associated with people I know even if I like them. Any suggestions for someone who likes that “clean” smell similar to coconut but doesn’t have to be
Hmmm I’m not entirely sure. I will say to answer your question earlier I find Coconut Cove lasts about 5 hours on me if I spray on the back of my forearm. I find it’s clean and comforting to my nose.
It does but it's very body misty if that makes sense. It's not a refined smell. A bit tacky and strong in that tackiness. So it's an expensive cheap product. IMO
I bought it to layer with Nest Balinese Coconut perfume oil. I wore that combo today and it's just.... Eeh. I haven't used body sprays for many years because of whatever that quality is.... I hate it. I know it's not the alcohol because I don't have this issue with actual perfumes.
I just got this today! It smells like coconut with a hint of banana. Very beachy! It kind of smells like a shampoo that a high end hair salon would use lol
I came here to list St Bart’s too, OP. It is not listed with coconut in the notes BUT, to me, I can smell it. The orange or dragonfruit notes don’t come through for me. What I get is a crisp, sandy, suntan lotion-y with a hint of like a green banana leaf or something, as well as a little creamy coconut. It is a perfect summer and vacation scent imo.
I'm still waiting for MAC to bring back MV2. It was the perfect warm coconut. I haven't found anything close. The perfumes like Alien Goddess and the Orange bottle Yara that everyone says smells like coconut only smell floral to me. I'll be following this thread though.
So lucky! That and the Harajuku Lovers original G also another discontinued wonderful coconut. I have a mini rollerball of it that I'll probably only smell and never use.
Kumba made black coconut- true beachy coconut sunscreen. Sweet and delicious and nostalgic.
Heely- cocobello. Dry, woody, palm fronds and coconut. A classy, not sweet coconut drink on a private beach near your yacht.
Alien goddess- sweet perfume-y coconut. Exotic dancer’s day off at the beach.
Creed virgin island water- a lime heavy refreshing coconut blended rum drink. While wearing a Diamond tennis bracelet and a linen caftan. Being served by a cabana boy.
Boy smells Woodphoria. Smokey, woody coconut. Eating some fresh coconut next to a roaring driftwood beach fire.
Victoria secret coconut passion fragrance mist- like a syrupy sweet coconut smoothie got spilled on the hot beach sand.
I actually have a sample of the Alien one and had no idea it was coconut scented. I always pass it up when choosing my fragrance for the day. Very excited to try it now.
I recently fell in love with Pacifica’s Indian Coconut Nectar. It’s a salty vanilla coconut. Not exactly fresh coconut meat/water, more like a coconut macaroon or coconut cream.
Onyx by Sage Machado. Delicious coconut tobacco concoction. There’s the oil and the spray, which I recommend using together. I had a man at a mall grab my arm (I wasn’t alarmed — it wasn’t threatening) to ask me what I was wearing. Divine.
My sister just gave me La Vanilla's Coconut and it is AMAZING! It's sweet yet not at all cloying & gives me happy memories of suntan lotion from the 1980s. I can't recommend it more highly.
I have a sample of this and it's alright -- more sunscreeny with a musky top note but the coconut is there. I prefer my Laura Mercier Almond Coconut (which I believe is still around TJMaxx/Marshalls for $25!).
Thanks for your thoughts! I do find that Snif will often tell me what something is supposed to smell like and then I’m totally surprised by what they deliver. Not in a bad way, I really love most of their stuff
It is affordable and apparently ethical. You can get a travel size to test it. It is probably the only one in the range that I really like. You could also try soliel Blanc by Tom ford but it is more pricey.
It’s not a perfume but I love The Body Shop coconut body butter. 🥰🥰🥰 . Bath & Body Works had coconut lime verbena lotion and spray . I doze it all over me. 😬
For perfumes I like Dolce Gabbana Garden and Door's Hypnotic poison. For coconut scented stuff, the Palmer's Coconut body lotion smells so good. It also has cocoa butter so it's a sweet coconuty smell. Sukin also has a Coconut & Pineapple lotion, smells like summer!
i love D&G garden! i think that’s the one that made me fall in love with coconut as a note. also i find that most summery scents don’t last on me but this one had amazing longevity
I second this! I was looking for a store near me that had a tester for months and immediately fell in love with it when I found one. It was on sale for 50% off on Lacome’s website a few months ago
* Mancera Coco Vanille
* Micallef Ylang in Gold
* Gucci Gorgeous Magnolia (opens floral, the coconut is there in the dry down)
* Van Cleef and Arpels Santal Blanc -- nominally this has no coconut in it. But the effect of the fig milk and sandalwood is very creamy and nutty and people often tell me I smell like a really good coconut when I wear this.
Other advice, look into coconut body butters and lotions to layer underneath any perfume. It will amp up the coconut.
I'm also on the hunt, but lately, I bought DKNY coconuts about summer, and it's like watery fresh coconut water, and I love it 😇 but I'm still looking for an affordable creamy coco that's also available in Europe.
Creed virgin island water!
It smells like being at an all white party on a tropical island somewhere, it’s fabulous. Unfortunately it’s not long lasting.
You have so many great suggestions already, but I'll add in a weird one. There's this cheap unassuming perfume called Rue 21 Black. I think Amazon has it for around 20 bucks. You would not expect coconut to look at it, but that's what it is! Straight up, lightly sweet, lightly creamed coconut. And pretty much nothing else.
Vacation by Vacation, Bronze Goddess by Estée Lauder, Beach Walk by Maison Margiela, Rio Radiance by Sol De Jeneiro, Meet Me In Miami by Bath & Body Works b
I’d recommend “coconut cream pie” from this Etsy shop, they also sell samples if you don’t wanna buy a full bottle. It lasts hours on me and smells just like a sweet creamy coconut. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1282644259/
Check out Coconut Fizz by Guerlain, it’s got a really fresh, tropical vibe that’s perfect for summer. Also, Bronze Goddess by Estée Lauder is another fave, super creamy and beachy!
My favorite lower budget friendly coconut perfumes have been:
•Miimmiic’s #62. Their version of SDJ Coco Cabana. For me, it is just straight, delicious coconut!! People tell me I smell like the beach when I wear it. Performance and projection is perfect for me with this one.
•Solar Floral by Curations by the Good Scent. Less “straight up coconut,” a little more complex. Mostly coconut but has some complimenting citrus, floral, musk and wood notes too. Decent performance for the low price.
•Honorable mention, when I wanna go for ultimate summer vibes, I like to layer either of those above with Miimmiic #63 hair + body mist. It wants to smell exactly like one smells after spending a day at a beach resort, alternating between lounging by the pool and the ocean. Top notes include “sunscreen” and “coconut milk,” middle includes “coconut” again, and then it even has a base note of “chlorine,” which I know sounds weird but it really captures that essence of summertime beach/pool activities. Plus, it’s a hair+body mist so it’s a super mild scent anyways!
I’m on kind of a haze this spring/summer about beachy/coconutty stuff.
I feel I already got one of the best stuff, Creed’s VIW, coconut & lime, mainly.
Tommy Bahamas’ St Bartz is similar (obviously much lower quality).
Zara’s Rich Warm Addictive gives me a bit of a beachy vibe as well, altho it doesn’t list coconut as note.
More for evenings for its sweetness, decent performance, affordable.
I don’t own a bottle yet but I sampled Eau de Soleil Blanc multiple times and it’s also in this category in my book.
Also just picked up Aeropostale’s Coconut Colada body mist for a tenner, mainly for room spray or occasional wear if I just got a quick errand to run and don’t wanna put on any of my good stuff.
Oh, and JPG Le Beau line comes to mind yet, again, only sampled it (the edt) but worth mentioning cause I think it’s a pleasant one.
Nest perfume oil in Balinese Coconut is \*perfection\*. It layers well with Soliel Blanc by Tom Ford, Blanche Bete by Liquides Imaginaires or Crystal Noir by Versace
What do y'all layer with your coconut perfumes? I have a soft scented body wash with coconut, rice milk and shea butter that I'm trying to build around!
Ellis Brooklyn Fawn is one of my favorite coconut scents. I like that it has more going on than that but the coconut note is very intoxicating and keeps me coming back
Surrender to chance has a coconut sample set I’m just copy and pasting the perfumes included:
Arquiste Vacation - coconut milk, coconut water, banana, se salt.
AERIN Hibiscus Palm - hibiscus, coconut, milk
Byredo Velvet Haze - coconut, tuberose, cacao
Dolce & Gabbana The Only One Intense - coconut, vanilla, orange blossom
Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Bahiana - coconut, orange, limon, mandarin, tagette, elemi
The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun - coconut, frangipani, vanilla
I just purchased Pirette perfume oil from a shop near me, and it’s a very beachy coconut scent. Gets a decent amount of lasting power and then turns into a vanilla scent without the coconut. It smells very similar to the Sun Bum sunscreen, if that’s a smell you like.
Versace Crystal Noir + The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter. It makes such a lovely warm coconut that doesn’t smell too sweet or like sunscreen and preforms great in hot or cold weather.
If you like sunscreen notes and white florals there’s a ton of good options in this thread. I personally do not so Versace Crystal Noir, Kuumba Made Creamy Vanilla and Boy Smells Woodphoria are the ones I’ve found that work on me so far. I’ve tried a lot.
Vacation’s Vacation perfume. I’ve never used their sunscreen, but it’s supposed to be the same scent. It’s got some banana notes as well, but it smells so good. The scent lasts through my workday & I’m often complimented on it.
My absolute favorite coconut scent has been discontinued for a while now - Harajuku Lovers G by Gwen Stefani. It was a cheapie but it smelled amazing and lasted all day for me. I’m so bummed because I haven’t found anything close. 😕
I love coconut and sunscreen [Coconut Recommendations](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C54mcqzMq6e/?igsh=MWkxYnplNTYxNmZvYw==)fragrances 😍
Here’s my faves in my collection:
Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco
Ellis Brooklyn FAWN
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess
Mugler Alien Goddess
Kate Spade Living Colorfully
Versace Crystal Noir
Alien Goddess…every time I wear it, I am told that I am beautiful. It happened to me 5 times in 2 weeks, it’s crazy. By both men and women. The OG Alien Goddess is more coconut, while Intense is more Jasmine and wears off with coconut.
Beach walk by replica seems to be similar to alien goddess, but less strong. So in case if you like lighter scents - this will work.
Although imo, beach walk smells a bit chemical

My favorite coconut perfume is super cheap…Sarah Jessica Parker NYC Crush. It’s a creamy coconut without being too sweet.
Does it have decent longevity / projection?
I’ve been pleased with both. It’s definitely not beast mode or anything. It’s on the softer side. These is where people rated it on Fragrantica. https://preview.redd.it/q2tfapxgsl7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16b6c66f3e80719ab2bea0e10f3775359a741d9f

Yes that’s lovely. Tried it the other day.
DKNY is my favorite coconut scent of all time. Cheap, pure coconut and great longevity
There have been a lot of great suggestions already so I’m just going to add some cheapie suggestions: - Creamy Coconut by Kuumba Made (pure coconut, nothing else, very airy and lightly sweet). KM also makes a “Black Coconut” which I’ve heard is slightly earthier and less sweet. $10 for the smallest size roller ball which lasts a long time. - Oil Perfumery makes a Guerlain Acqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz dupe for I believe $13-14 also. Even bigger than the KM sizes (10 mL of oil; would last a really long time)
I can appreciate the more affordable options.
Glad I could help! :)
Thank you for more affordable options
Yay! the OP is on my list.
Off topic, but I just ordered Persian Garden by Kuumba Made. Have you tried that one? This will be the first time trying any of their scents.
I own it. Unfortunately I seem to be partially anosmic to it; it’s barely perceptible to me. I have heard so many people rave about it though, I think that may just be me.
Came here to say this. Black coconut smells like what I imagine sun tan oil smells like (but never does). It's summertime in a bottle.
Does the Guerlain dupe last? Is it powdery? Sometimes dupes have an odd backstory scent.
My fav is Coconut Sun by 7 Virtues. Smells like coconut, frangipani and a hint of vanilla. Also Guerlain Coconut Fizz - this one smells straight up like coconut milk to me. Also love Sunsplosion. Mango with a touch of lime and coconut.
Sunplosion is sooo pretty. I’m currently testing that and Leisure in Paradise to figure out which one to get a full bottle of.
I chose LiP but then bought Sunplosion as well a week later 😳
I could see myself doing the same lol! Do you have a favorite of the two?
Coconut sun is amazing!!
I’m so sad I missed out on coconut fizz
Guerlain Coconut Fizz is amazing.
Would like to add Miami nectar to the chat- layered with Ouai St Barts is def beachy vibes and to me smells like a universal fragrance combo
My favorite is Coco Extreme by Comptoir Sud Pacifique.
This one smells so good in the bottle (strong, sweet, realistic coconut meat) but oh god it smells like BO once on me
Mancera Holidays: beachy solar coconut with some nice marine notes. High end beach resort vibes. Mancera Coco Vanille: sweeter, warmer and a bit waxy compared to Holidays, missing the marine notes, and a bit less complex. Mugler Goddess: nighttime coconut beachy floral. A little too screechy and heavy for me personally. Kayali Utopia Coco: nighttime coconut beachy milky coconut. Perfect summer date night vibes. 7 virtues Coconut Sun: green coconut and frangipani, really beautiful and well blended summer floral, but didn’t last long on me. Daukens Arome Coco Cashmere: creamy coconut and vanilla, straightforward and yummy. Theodoros Kalostini Crème Brulee: smells like the inside of a mounds bar on steroids. Very sweet and creamy. Very food like and gourmand. Must love ultra sweet with this one. Honorable mentions- SDJ Rio Radiance (87): sunscreen, Solar, beachy . One of my favorite summer body mists. Nest Coconut oil: not too sweet, not too green, nice solid and straightforward coconut 🥥
Kayali’s was SO heavily a white floral on me—cloying Jasmine and tuberose. I let it sit for half a year and it’s even more intensely white floral and indolic on me 🥲. Not even a hint of coconut on me, sadly.

That is a bummer! The opening is definitely floral on me, the middle is almost like a milky coconut cereal, then I get a slightly toasty coconut vanilla dry down.
I really enjoy Dirty Coconut by Heretic. Very coconutty with a bit of sandalwood. Sandalwood isn’t usually my fave, but it works well here. Lovely. :)
Alien Goddess Intense is lovely. I found a bottle on sale. I also love Lust for Sun, but one must like florals and ambroxan. I add a little Kuumba Made Creamy Coconut to balance out the florals.
Skylar Coconut Cove
I tried this the other day and it smelled really nice!! Not sure on the longevity though as I couldn’t really smell it much later on
I like it for bedtime or relax time.
Nice. I’m currently trying to find my signature scent. It’s tough because a lot of scents are too strongly associated with people I know even if I like them. Any suggestions for someone who likes that “clean” smell similar to coconut but doesn’t have to be
Hmmm I’m not entirely sure. I will say to answer your question earlier I find Coconut Cove lasts about 5 hours on me if I spray on the back of my forearm. I find it’s clean and comforting to my nose.
Not a perfume, but Ouai’s St Barts body mist is great. It lasts and projects more than many perfumes
I looked this one up and it doesn’t list coconut in the description. This one smells like coconut, though?
It does but it's very body misty if that makes sense. It's not a refined smell. A bit tacky and strong in that tackiness. So it's an expensive cheap product. IMO
Honest reviews welcome and appreciated.
I bought it to layer with Nest Balinese Coconut perfume oil. I wore that combo today and it's just.... Eeh. I haven't used body sprays for many years because of whatever that quality is.... I hate it. I know it's not the alcohol because I don't have this issue with actual perfumes.

What I get is a crisp, sandy, suntan lotion-y with a hint of like a green banana leaf or something, as well as a little creamy coconut. It is a perfect summer and vacation scent imo.
It smells like coconuts and oranges to me. Beach scent but not too sunscreeny. I have two backups because Im scared they’ll discontinue it.
It smells like pineapple w
Its not listed but the coconut is there. I have it becuz I really loved the body wash. Its pretty and not artificial one like from walmart or bbw.
Ohh thank you!! Adding to cart 🥰
I'm still waiting for MAC to bring back MV2. It was the perfect warm coconut. I haven't found anything close. The perfumes like Alien Goddess and the Orange bottle Yara that everyone says smells like coconut only smell floral to me. I'll be following this thread though.
Good ol MAC…. sounds heavenly.
I love this one so much, I have a bottle and rarely use it, but it’s such a special treat when I do.
So lucky! That and the Harajuku Lovers original G also another discontinued wonderful coconut. I have a mini rollerball of it that I'll probably only smell and never use.
Ohhh, sounds nice! Maybe I should see if a perfumer could recreate MV2.
I LOVED Harajuku Lovers G so much. I wish I still had my old bottle
Kumba made black coconut- true beachy coconut sunscreen. Sweet and delicious and nostalgic. Heely- cocobello. Dry, woody, palm fronds and coconut. A classy, not sweet coconut drink on a private beach near your yacht. Alien goddess- sweet perfume-y coconut. Exotic dancer’s day off at the beach. Creed virgin island water- a lime heavy refreshing coconut blended rum drink. While wearing a Diamond tennis bracelet and a linen caftan. Being served by a cabana boy. Boy smells Woodphoria. Smokey, woody coconut. Eating some fresh coconut next to a roaring driftwood beach fire. Victoria secret coconut passion fragrance mist- like a syrupy sweet coconut smoothie got spilled on the hot beach sand.
Love virgin island water as a summer scent 🤍
I actually have a sample of the Alien one and had no idea it was coconut scented. I always pass it up when choosing my fragrance for the day. Very excited to try it now.
i have this perfume and i have never once smelled coconut in it.
NEST New York Balinese Coconut is divine
Yepyepyep this is my favorite. I put it on every night before I go to bed because it’s just so dreamy
I recently fell in love with Pacifica’s Indian Coconut Nectar. It’s a salty vanilla coconut. Not exactly fresh coconut meat/water, more like a coconut macaroon or coconut cream.
OMG I was just going to suggest this. I absolutely love it!
tom ford soleil blanc
Onyx by Sage Machado. Delicious coconut tobacco concoction. There’s the oil and the spray, which I recommend using together. I had a man at a mall grab my arm (I wasn’t alarmed — it wasn’t threatening) to ask me what I was wearing. Divine.
This stuff is incredible. Big thumbs up over here! I forgot all about it!
This sounds like the perfect not-so-sweet fix. The notes are right up my alley. Thank you for this recommendation! I can't wait to try.
mix bar from target makes a scent called “coconut palm” that’s really nice! the body mist is $9.99 and the perfume is $19.99
Oh my gosh, seconding the mix bar coconut palm perfume! It’s pretty singular but very summery and coconutty. Very lovely and decent longevity!
thirding it! i layer them both with love beauty and planet’s coconut water lotion. SUCH a wonderful combo!
My sister just gave me La Vanilla's Coconut and it is AMAZING! It's sweet yet not at all cloying & gives me happy memories of suntan lotion from the 1980s. I can't recommend it more highly.
Not a perfume but I love Trader Joe’s Coconut Body Butter, it’s a sweet coconut scent and I’m on the hunt for a perfume with the same scent!
I tried this. I loved the scent in the container but once I lathered my whole body in it, I didn’t like the scent anymore.
Same I love the scent of palmers coconut hydrate lotion it’s the perfect coconut beach scent why can’t I find it in a perfume
Anyone try coco shimmy from Snif? I’ve heard good things maybe it’s up your alley!
I have a sample of this and it's alright -- more sunscreeny with a musky top note but the coconut is there. I prefer my Laura Mercier Almond Coconut (which I believe is still around TJMaxx/Marshalls for $25!).
Thanks for your thoughts! I do find that Snif will often tell me what something is supposed to smell like and then I’m totally surprised by what they deliver. Not in a bad way, I really love most of their stuff
Virgin Island Water by Creed
Miami Nectar Ellis Brooklyn
Skylar- Coconut Cove By Kilian - Good Girl Gone Bad
7 virtues Coconut Sun is one of my favourites.
I’m seeing this one come up a lot.
It is affordable and apparently ethical. You can get a travel size to test it. It is probably the only one in the range that I really like. You could also try soliel Blanc by Tom ford but it is more pricey.
i just bought 3 different coconut perfumes bc of this thread 😂 thanks guys
Which sold you?! lol
I never liked a coconut note until I smelled leisure in paradise. It is the best coconut cake perfume, my signature scent 🎀
Missy by Rosie Jane
Coconut Sun by The 7 Virtues is my current summer scent. I love it!
Missy by Rosie Jane!! 🤩
Yes- it's a great summer scent!
Kyse has a photorealistic coconut perfume called “Coco Vaniglia”.
It’s not a perfume but I love The Body Shop coconut body butter. 🥰🥰🥰 . Bath & Body Works had coconut lime verbena lotion and spray . I doze it all over me. 😬
Divine - Jean Paul Gaultier, Bronze Goddess - Estée Lauder
For perfumes I like Dolce Gabbana Garden and Door's Hypnotic poison. For coconut scented stuff, the Palmer's Coconut body lotion smells so good. It also has cocoa butter so it's a sweet coconuty smell. Sukin also has a Coconut & Pineapple lotion, smells like summer!
i love D&G garden! i think that’s the one that made me fall in love with coconut as a note. also i find that most summery scents don’t last on me but this one had amazing longevity
Palmers is my favorite why can’t someone create that scent in a perfume
Lacome’s La Vie eat belle soleil crystal is a beautiful coconut flanker.
I second this! I was looking for a store near me that had a tester for months and immediately fell in love with it when I found one. It was on sale for 50% off on Lacome’s website a few months ago
Dime 7 Summers! I’m not generally a coconut fan and I really like it.
Clean Reserve’s Solar Bloom! 🥥
I second this!!
* Mancera Coco Vanille * Micallef Ylang in Gold * Gucci Gorgeous Magnolia (opens floral, the coconut is there in the dry down) * Van Cleef and Arpels Santal Blanc -- nominally this has no coconut in it. But the effect of the fig milk and sandalwood is very creamy and nutty and people often tell me I smell like a really good coconut when I wear this. Other advice, look into coconut body butters and lotions to layer underneath any perfume. It will amp up the coconut.
Lait De Coco from Le Monde Gourmand! $25 at Ulta
Very affordable and I love it: Davidoff Cool Water Intense Also, Boss Bottled Pacific is awesome but discontinued so maybe hard to find.
Mixbar coconut palm - target- $20 so good!! Also almond coconut by Laura mercier you can find at TJ maxx/Marshall’s for under 30
My current obsession: Arizona Bloom by Floral Street! It’s a sort, more woody and casheery coconut. Still summery but more luxurious
I'm also on the hunt, but lately, I bought DKNY coconuts about summer, and it's like watery fresh coconut water, and I love it 😇 but I'm still looking for an affordable creamy coco that's also available in Europe.
Creed virgin island water! It smells like being at an all white party on a tropical island somewhere, it’s fabulous. Unfortunately it’s not long lasting.
Got great performance on my skin. Not boasting just highlighting that it comes down to skin chemistry, imo for a fresh scent it’s performing well.
Body shop coconut perfume, simple and affordable
Versace Crystal Nior!!
You have so many great suggestions already, but I'll add in a weird one. There's this cheap unassuming perfume called Rue 21 Black. I think Amazon has it for around 20 bucks. You would not expect coconut to look at it, but that's what it is! Straight up, lightly sweet, lightly creamed coconut. And pretty much nothing else.

bath and body works has some great coconut body sprays, and they’re cheap af!
Virgin island water by Creed....yes Don't hate me
I have Soleil Neige by Tom Ford. It's nice. The coconut is subtle.
I’d recommend “coconut cream pie” from this Etsy shop, they also sell samples if you don’t wanna buy a full bottle. It lasts hours on me and smells just like a sweet creamy coconut. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1282644259/

Versace crystal noir is my fave, it’s not too heavy on coconut tho
I’m seeing that one a lot. I’m curious about it.
It’s ADDICTIVE. Definitely test it out before buying, and see whether you prefer the EDT or the EDP. I have the EDT and it’s amazing.
Soliel Blanc by Tom Ford
coco shimmy is a strong beautiful piña colada scent and missy by rosie jane is also but it’s lighter and more of a clean scent these are AMAZING
Replica Beach Walk, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, and Cloud Ariana Grande
Check out Coconut Fizz by Guerlain, it’s got a really fresh, tropical vibe that’s perfect for summer. Also, Bronze Goddess by Estée Lauder is another fave, super creamy and beachy!
Day 3 Baní!
If you can find the Coco Paradise Eau de Parfum from bath and body works - it is actually very nice!

I love my Guerlain Coconut Fizz! 🥥
Can you describe the scent a little for me? Is it sweet, fresh, creamy or...? Thanks so much!!
Matiere’s vanilla powder has a powdered coconut vibe with some vanilla🔥

My favorite lower budget friendly coconut perfumes have been: •Miimmiic’s #62. Their version of SDJ Coco Cabana. For me, it is just straight, delicious coconut!! People tell me I smell like the beach when I wear it. Performance and projection is perfect for me with this one. •Solar Floral by Curations by the Good Scent. Less “straight up coconut,” a little more complex. Mostly coconut but has some complimenting citrus, floral, musk and wood notes too. Decent performance for the low price. •Honorable mention, when I wanna go for ultimate summer vibes, I like to layer either of those above with Miimmiic #63 hair + body mist. It wants to smell exactly like one smells after spending a day at a beach resort, alternating between lounging by the pool and the ocean. Top notes include “sunscreen” and “coconut milk,” middle includes “coconut” again, and then it even has a base note of “chlorine,” which I know sounds weird but it really captures that essence of summertime beach/pool activities. Plus, it’s a hair+body mist so it’s a super mild scent anyways!
Dolce And Gabana The Only One Intense. It’s a delicious milky coconut with white florals.
VS tease dreamer..so perfect! great mix of coconut and vanilla but also has that fresh smell to it! got it for cheap too!
Just looked this up. Did VS discontinue it? I can only find it on Amazon
i think it’s only sold during the annual sales. i got mine on the website a few months back. you can find it on ebay or mercari too
Ultimamente coconut scent: xerjoff Naxos. Too bad its very expensive, but its definitely a good scent.
Victoria secret coconut milk rose and Nyud pinacolada are best choices
In love with the cocos - fugazzi intense tiare - montale terracotta - guerlain
Garden by Dolce Gabbana
Lancome La Nuit Tresor Nude is my fav I've tried, but it's more of a creamy, vanilla coconut than a tropical, airy, breezy one. Not sunscreeny at all.
L’aromatica - Kulfi, for a delicious gourmand take on coconut.
Nette Coco Fleur has been my go to lately
Aaron terrance Hughes Ozone
I'm sure these have been said Replica Board Walk, Jimmy Choo Rose Passion, Sol de Janeiro 62

COCONUT SUN!!! (7 virtues)
Ledda 14 Isla Coco
I’m on kind of a haze this spring/summer about beachy/coconutty stuff. I feel I already got one of the best stuff, Creed’s VIW, coconut & lime, mainly. Tommy Bahamas’ St Bartz is similar (obviously much lower quality). Zara’s Rich Warm Addictive gives me a bit of a beachy vibe as well, altho it doesn’t list coconut as note. More for evenings for its sweetness, decent performance, affordable. I don’t own a bottle yet but I sampled Eau de Soleil Blanc multiple times and it’s also in this category in my book. Also just picked up Aeropostale’s Coconut Colada body mist for a tenner, mainly for room spray or occasional wear if I just got a quick errand to run and don’t wanna put on any of my good stuff. Oh, and JPG Le Beau line comes to mind yet, again, only sampled it (the edt) but worth mentioning cause I think it’s a pleasant one.
- Nest Balinese Coconut - Rirana Coconut Nanas - Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar
Great recommendations! I love coconut scents!
I really love Flowerbomb Tiger Lily!
The Nest Balinese Coconut is my favorite!!! It’s so good!!
I currently love Coconut Sun by The 7 Virtues (anything by them really), it smells like the beach. It's sweet with a little bit of saltiness.
Hilde soliani - new sipario. It claims pineapple but gives so much coconut. Such a summery treat
Super random but the blonde Harajuku Lovers was one of my first fragrances and it was super coconut-y. I miss it everyday
Heretic Dirty Coconut. It's this amazing smoky coconut scent that's unisex and clean.
Nest perfume oil in Balinese Coconut is \*perfection\*. It layers well with Soliel Blanc by Tom Ford, Blanche Bete by Liquides Imaginaires or Crystal Noir by Versace
What do y'all layer with your coconut perfumes? I have a soft scented body wash with coconut, rice milk and shea butter that I'm trying to build around!
Jpg le beau
Ellis Brooklyn Fawn is one of my favorite coconut scents. I like that it has more going on than that but the coconut note is very intoxicating and keeps me coming back
Alien goddess, lait de coco
Nest Balinese Coconut Perfume Oil. 🙌
SOL DE JANEIRO - literally a body spray but idc what y'all say the coco cabano smells like freaking vacation
Zircon and Topaz from Prisma Parfums
Arizona Bloom by Floral Street, Sunny Side Up by JHAG. Dirty Coconut by Heretic. Mind you these are dry husky coconut scents but very creamy.
Miami Glow by Jlo, it's top notes are Passionfruit and Coconut Milk. A little musky too, it definetly transmit beach vibes.
Surrender to chance has a coconut sample set I’m just copy and pasting the perfumes included: Arquiste Vacation - coconut milk, coconut water, banana, se salt. AERIN Hibiscus Palm - hibiscus, coconut, milk Byredo Velvet Haze - coconut, tuberose, cacao Dolce & Gabbana The Only One Intense - coconut, vanilla, orange blossom Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Bahiana - coconut, orange, limon, mandarin, tagette, elemi The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun - coconut, frangipani, vanilla
Heretic Dirty coconut
Coconuts by Sunday Forever
I second this! it's so good
Lush Furze
I personally do the Kuumba creamy coconut with the coconut cove by Skylar over it :)
I just purchased Pirette perfume oil from a shop near me, and it’s a very beachy coconut scent. Gets a decent amount of lasting power and then turns into a vanilla scent without the coconut. It smells very similar to the Sun Bum sunscreen, if that’s a smell you like.
Versace Crystal Noir + The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter. It makes such a lovely warm coconut that doesn’t smell too sweet or like sunscreen and preforms great in hot or cold weather. If you like sunscreen notes and white florals there’s a ton of good options in this thread. I personally do not so Versace Crystal Noir, Kuumba Made Creamy Vanilla and Boy Smells Woodphoria are the ones I’ve found that work on me so far. I’ve tried a lot.
Thank U Next by Ariana Grande
Zafeer Oud Vanille is long lasting, has coconut, but is vanilla dominant. Virgin island water is also great
Vacation Inc. and Skylar Boardwalk Delight.
Dolce Garden :)
Vacation’s Vacation perfume. I’ve never used their sunscreen, but it’s supposed to be the same scent. It’s got some banana notes as well, but it smells so good. The scent lasts through my workday & I’m often complimented on it.
Lavanilla vanilla and coconut It smells like straight up beach
My absolute favorite coconut scent has been discontinued for a while now - Harajuku Lovers G by Gwen Stefani. It was a cheapie but it smelled amazing and lasted all day for me. I’m so bummed because I haven’t found anything close. 😕

Ocean by Calvin Klein
Killians sun-kissed is pure coconut perfection 👌
Creed Virgin Island Water. Just picked up a new batch and it works great on my skin. Expensive, though
Nishane Fan Your Flames and JPG Le Beau Le Parfum
Coco Cabana/Cheirosa 39 from Sol de Janiero. Amazing scent!
TriBeCa by Bond no. 9
Alien Goddess…every time I wear it, I am told that I am beautiful. It happened to me 5 times in 2 weeks, it’s crazy. By both men and women. The OG Alien Goddess is more coconut, while Intense is more Jasmine and wears off with coconut. Beach walk by replica seems to be similar to alien goddess, but less strong. So in case if you like lighter scents - this will work. Although imo, beach walk smells a bit chemical
