The healing powers of aromatherapy have long been talked about and one of the most common fragrances that pop up is that of coconut. A coconut fragrance is said to reduce stress and anxiety and bring about a feeling of peace and serenity. It’s also known to improve mood and promote relaxation. The fresh creamy aroma of coconut scents with almost nutty overtones, brings accords of seasonal freshness and a warmth that’s reminiscent of both a summery scent and a winter chill, depending on the type of coconut. 

Many celebrities have their version of coconut perfumes. For instance, Reb’l Fleur by Rihanna has middle notes of coconut, tuberose, and hibiscus, a nod to her Barbados roots, and Harajuku Lovers G by Gwen Stefani has top notes of coconut, red apple, and mandarin orange. Now, let’s help you find a perfume that smells like coconut and feels tailor-made for you.

Now that we’ve taken a look at some of the best coconut perfumes, here are some things you should know before buying one for yourself. 

 

There’s always a sense of confusion when making a new purchase but going by a list of key factors would mean that there is no room for error. Here are the factors to look out for -

Ingredients 

While perfumes typically don’t cause white marks or stains, it's best to look for ones without aluminum or baking soda. Perfumes with ingredients like coconut oil offer antibacterial properties and help nourish the skin. Essential oils like sweet almond oil provide UV protection and aloe vera keeps inflammation at bay. Many perfumes have patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar in the base notes that add an element of smokiness.

Notes 

All perfumes, including spicy ones, consist of three distinct notes: the top note, the middle or heart note, and the base note. The top note is the initial impression cast and lingers for approximately 15 minutes. After that, the middle or heart note shines through and lasts for about 30 to 60 minutes. Finally, the base notes take over and stick around for six hours or even longer. 

Strength 

Understanding the distinctions between fragrance types can significantly impact your choice in finding the most suitable one for you. A perfume boasts the highest level of fragrance concentration up to 30% and offers long-lasting wear, often exceeding 12 hours. Eau De Parfum (EDP) contains 15-20% fragrance concentration and can last up to eight hours.

Eau de Toilette (EDT) contains essential oils with a fragrance concentration of 5-15% and lasts approximately three hours. Finally, Eau de Cologne (EDC) features a fragrance concentration of 2-4% and lingers for about two hours.
