Full disclosure: tested this in November in Canada so it was not heeding the hot weather warning on the Alkemia website.
The most “simple” Alkemia scent I’ve tried and with only 2 notes, is quite uncharacteristic for the house which specializes in intricate blends. This was a disappointment to me. It smells like the scent they add to fake tanners which isn’t something I seek out. I don’t even want to layer it with anything I own because the scent itself is not my favourite.
Very lovely, a simple sweet coconut that reminds me of VS Coconut Passion. Actually the tonka reminds me more of a Hawaiian Tropic body spray I absolutely loved called Golden Paradise. And including tonka in a vanilla/coconut scent is genius! The silage isn’t as strong as my other Alkemia scents, and neither is the longevity but it’s nice for hot days when that doesn’t matter as much
This is one of the rare scents that I knew I wanted a full size moments after applying. The coconut smells like fresh coconut flesh and the vanilla blends with it so well.
Paradise smells like it’s named, like paradise. It’s warm and sweet without being really gourmandy, I’m not normally too much of a coconut person but this scent is so pretty and will be great for summer, since most of my scents are autumnal this will be a nice addition to my small summer scent collection!
Creamy coconut and vanilla. It reminds me of sweet coconut water. It’s pretty faint but meant for hotter weather. I bought a FS of this scent.
