I Could Inhale This Food - Edible Perfume Notes

Coconut is my favorite gourmand perfume note -- those fragrance notes are based on foods, especially spicy foods.    What a nexus,   it's the best of both worlds!!
Here are a few more popular gourmand perfume notes:

  • Honey 

  • Cumin
 
  • Saffron

  • Cardamom

  • Sugar or Caramel

  • Orange, Lime, Lemon
  • Almond
  • Butter
 
  • Mint

  • Chocolate


Rose petals with Glass of rose petal jam
Rose Petal Jam


Of course, I can’t forget about edible flower fragrance notes, like 


  • Violet


  • Lavender

  • Rose

 But I just luv, luv, luv the smell of fresh coconut and toasted coconut fragrances that remind me of Holiday desserts. Nothing beats eating coconut cake and sweet potato pie topped with toasted coconut for the Holidays.  
 
But the best are creamy coconut perfumes blended with everybody’s favorite flavor:  Orchid!!!  Huh?    You know… vanilla flavoring!

LAVANILA VANILLA COCONUT REVIEW – COCONUT SUGAR JOY


Vanilla orchid vine and blossom
Vanilla Orchid Blossom
 
Fragrance Name: Lavanila Vanilla Coconut                               
Rating:  5 out of 5 stars
Where to Buy:  Online stores, TV shopping channels and Cosmetics specialty stores       
Type:  Rollerball scent
Use:  Year round daytime use
Fragrance Notes:  The top note is coconut, the mid note is gardenia, and the base note is vanilla.
Price:  About $18 for 0.32 ounces
Impressions:   Lavanila’s fragrance has an attention getting edge that’s like the scent of cut-open and scraped vanilla beans.
The coconut oil note is mild and gently arousing.  In addition to the coconut, I detect a cocoa bean note.  The gardenia floral note is muted and not overpowering.
Lavanila’s Vanilla Coconut is stimulating and slightly sugary sweet.  I would not describe the fragrance as  sunscreen-like or beachy. The sugar element makes this scent very modern and ideal for office wear.
This American fragrance is a masterfully blended gourmand scent that lasts fairly long on me.  People have complimented me on the fragrance, saying things like “you smell like cake” or “you smell like hot chocolate”.

COCONUT CAKE, THE PERFUME


MIX AND MATCH COCONUT FLAVOR

Coconut perfumes are the perfect choice, if you’re like me and not into floral, green, spicy or musky scents at the moment.  Sometimes coconut oil seem a little plain though, so I often mix and match other fragrance notes with the coconut for a change of pace.
Here are

TOP 5 SCENTS TO LAYER WITH COCONUT PERFUMES

  1. Gardenia
  2. Sandalwood
  3. Chocolate
  4. Vanilla
  5. Orange
Sometimes I layer all of the last three scents together to mix-up a "coconut cake" flavored fragrance that’s so yummy that it’s almost eatable.
