How many good fragrances have you discovered, and are you surprised to see it’s unfairly underrated or overshadowed by other highly valued creations of its brand? Too many, right? In Love With The Cocos by Fugazzi is one of those works, to give a name. A straightforward, functional, and complete perfume that balances the note of fresh citruses at the top and generous touch of white flowers on a base of musk and amber, all arranged around a mouth-watering coconut that is, arguably, recognizable from any other example with the same lactonic scent.
Launched in 2020, In Love With The Cocos is a perfume that immediately conceives the aura of a tropical seashore vacation on a crowded beach with happy people wearing colorful swimsuits, some playing volleyball on the golden sand while others enjoying their pina colada, the sound of loud party music swallowed in the vast landscape of the beach. All this joy is registered in your mind with the scent of fresh coconut, the odor of sun oil and tanned skin, sauntering towards the sea to get rid of the heat under your skin, etc.
The perfume opens very boldly and completely with no hesitation, directly through the heart with the smell of coconut which sits in the center. While a whiff of lemon zest and tangy bergamot accompany the coconut in the opening, the center goes with a gauzy and indolic orange blossom, as wild and natural as it’s just cropped and immediately extracted.
The combination rests on a fluffy blend of rose and geranium that contrasts with the coconut and veers gently toward the musky notes and amber in the dry down.
The perfume is so functional. You can use it all summer, especially on chilling summer nights. It’s all for casual attire and relaxing occasions. With its notably long tenacity and powerful sillage, it’s an item that you enjoy for hours without worrying about being unnoticed.
