I am thinking of springing for a bottle of this for summer - I like coconut - but I have read that it smells like Bath and Body Work's Coconut Lime Verbena - is that true?

i've never used Bath and Body Work's Coconut Lime Verbena

But this fragrances smells like lemonade (lemon and sugar cane)
thats the first impression once i pull the trigger to my skin
it's very lound actually on the Beggining
as it starts to dry down it smells like coconut,
and yeah i get a creamy suntan lotion viBe, which its not Bad for me at all
since this smell Brings good memories of having fun at the pool
there's also a white rhum note which i dont know how to pinpoint
Bcause it's Being years time since the last time i drank rhum

longevity 4 hours pushingit
mayBe some times 5
sillage: people close to you will smell you for the first 30 minutes since application
after that i have to put my nose to my wrist to smellit

i knew all this Bfore i Bought it, i didn't care, smell is great for me
a must have, quality fragrance well done and unique
aBout compliments, thats a fact
girls who can smell cannot put their noses away from you

if you find it at a good price, get it

I think it is similar to CLV, but by no means does it smell just like it. I think it's actually pretty unique.

It is very similar to Set Sail St. Barts by Tommy Bahama. This is less than $30 for 100 ml from online retailers.

It definitely has that coconut-lime vibe.

sexy unisex fragrance imo, if you like coconut of course!
I smell the lime at first spray then on my skin drydown is basically more coconut
I'm blaming the sunny days to make me buy this lol

I've used the Bath and Body Works CLV...and they're very similar... My wife even asked if I had used their hand sanitizer that she has, because they smell alike. I think after my sample I may pass on buying a bottle... I have a hard time paying that much money for something that I actually complained about the smell of when my wife kept using their soap... It's a decent fragrance though, and it does smell a little better than CLV.
