Nothing says “summer” like the aroma of coconut, but if you think coconut is exclusively for sunscreen scents and dessert concoctions, think again! The fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) is just as delicious in a rich and creamy gourmand as it is in a light, refreshing aquatic. Whether it’s rich and creamy like a sweet treat or light and addictive like a fresh coconut enjoyed right on the beach, the scent can be relaxing and comforting or sensual and evocative, depending on when, where and how you wear it.<\/p>\n

Coconut fragrances never really go out of style, but they’ve exploded in recent years, likely because they’re so closely associated with happy memories and vacation vibes. A coconut note can smell like sunscreen, a pi\u00f1a colada or a creamy, ice cold glass of coconut milk, giving it a versatility that makes it essential in a perfumer’s palette. The scent can bust you out of your winter blues with visions of warm beaches and crystalline ocean views or heat up the summer with an intoxicating warmth. You can dress it up with floral notes or keep it low-key. When you’re wearing a coconut perfume, people take notice in a big way.<\/p>\n

Below, check out some of the best coconut fragrances of all time.<\/p>\n
