    Pros
    • Coconut done right, not suntan-lotion
    • Almond opening is genuinely unusual
    • Body mist format means easy reapplication
    • Smells like a beach day in a bottle
    • Vanilla drydown lingers on fabric
    • Benzoin keeps it from going too sweet
    • Heliotrope adds unexpected depth
    Cons
    • Fades faster than an EDP
    • Coconut dominant if that's not your thing
    • Limited projection after the first hour
    • Too sweet for some noses
    • Not a cold-weather scent
    • Skin chemistry may amplify the sweetness

    What others think.

    The heliotrope underneath the coconut is doing quiet work, and whether it reads as marshmallow softness or soapy synthetic is going to come down to your skin. How did it land on you?
