Why why why do I buy products first, and then check the reviews after? The description of this on the website sounded absolutely divine. I don't typically go for gourmands but thought I would give it...Read more

This is another of my favorite fragrances of all times. I can no longer tolerate most perfumes, and need a much more natural smell. I use this alone, or add it with my Philosophy Honey This is swe...Read more

Surprised to see all the negatives reviews on this one. It is exactly as described..almond & coconut with an emphasis on the latter. What impresses me with this scent is longevity. My biggest complai...Read more

First review on this site! :D Got this as a sample and it smells like medicine mixed with milk and a tiny hint of coconut. It has a very plastic smell to it that I can't ignore. I'll even go as far to...Read more

Initially, I loved this fragrance, to me it smelled like a "grown-up" and classy version of coconut with almond and floral notes. Of course, the lasting power wasn't the greatest, but I could still ca...Read more

I'm sorry but this is pretty yuck .It's overly done almond and coconut and it is underwhelming as a scent and overwhelming to my nose. No subtley at all. Horrid.

This is a pretty sweet mixture of both almond and coconut, however, it doesn't smell quite edible. There is a little woodiness and musk for balance. It is a very snuggly, comforting, and casual fragra...Read more

I loved it, although do not "bath" in this otherwise you will end up with a headache, over all light summer smell.. For a more lasting smell i do suggest applying a lotion first! Its a keeper :)
