Coconut perfumes

The coconut accord is built on the creamy, sweet and slightly woody smell of coconut flesh and milk, and it is closely associated with summer and the beach. It gives a fragrance a soft, milky and relaxed feel.

The main source of the effect is the molecule gamma-nonalactone, often enriched with other lactones and vanilla. Coconut usually sits in the heart and base. It pairs often with tropical notes, white florals such as tiare and tuberose, vanilla, salty notes and lactonic accords. Coconut fragrances suit spring and summer, holidays and warm days, while vanilla-rich versions also work well in cooler weather.

The Coconut accord appears in 3,310 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
