Coconut Lime Verbena
by Bath and Body Works

Enjoyable tropical fragrance that's top heavy on the lime but turns into a light coconut and floral base. Doesn't have the strong top notes of VIW, but it holds it own. Is it a via alternative? Absolutely. Even though I enjoy VIW I don't wear it often and it's hard to justify paying over $100 for that when you can get this for less than $20.

When this scent first came out, I was not impressed. I tried it again recently and I really liked it. Knock out citrus (almost bitter, but in a good way) in the beginning, then dries down to a terrific and smooth summer scent. It lasts for quite awhile and doesn't knock the neighbors over when I walk down the hall.

A girlfriend of mine uses this product. She recently caught me in the act of rapturously sniffing the air as she walked past, and offered me a sample. Sad to say, what translates as creamy, sweet, and simply divine on her instead came across as cloying on me. I admit disappointment, but not defeat-- so long as my friend's supply holds out, I'm content to enjoy this scent vicariously.

I tried, I really did, to enjoy this one. I love anything citrusy, and the coconut effect led me to think that smelling a tropical potion would be very enjoyable. Unfortunately, I didn't get it with this one. I find it cloying and to be like a mixture of artificial lime mixed with suntan lotion and paraffin notes.

I would love to smell this on a guy; I imagine it would be lovely. On a girl, however, I find the lime to be too harsh, despite the delicious, powdery coconut that accompanies it. For me personally, I find the coconut to be absolutely fantastic and imagine that a spicy scent combined with it would be orgasmic, but the astringent, too-true-to-an-actual-lime smell makes this scent something I will never buy.

I love it. I'm a 24 yr old guy and I'm using this during the summer days. It has a citrus top and the coconut isn't extremely noticable, but maybe that's best, if it did I think it could lean towards the "tanning lotion" kind of thing. The lasting power seems ok, not great but I've had much worse. Really fresh fragrance
