    Real talk

    This one leans heavily into coconut, so if tropical scents make you think of dollar-store sunscreens, steer clear. But if you want a sophisticated tropical that stays close to the skin and smells.Virgin Island Water
    Some people find the jasmine overwhelming at opening. Those people are wrong. Or they're right, and you love jasmine enough that it doesn't matter. Either way, the coconut in the base saves it.Del Mar
