About this deal

The sweetness is very much toned down by this point and the base notes come out to play: lovely rich woods, peppery vetiver and smooth amber - all blending seemlessly into a very feminine and elegant scent. I was expecting a huge dose of coconut from all the recommendations, so I'm a bit sad that I don't get it like I had hoped. Other than that, it's not only supremely pretty and one of the only creamy fragrances that I can tolerate in summer, but it also brings back poignant memories of one of my life's most beautiful chapters ever. The coconut ingredient so clearly evident and prominent in this fragrance almost smells like 'Reef suntan oil'. But I can see why people like it, as I would too if the male-smelling note wasn't bothering me in this composition.

So the smell itself isn't bad at all, but when it hit's my skin it seems to bring out something that reminds me of fragrances for men - maybe it's the vetiver that really sticks out on my skin? This also has similarities to the Harajuku Lovers Pop Electric G but that one has a very heavy woodsy note in it that takes over the entire perfume. This affordable beauty is such an “easy-breezy-beautiful” beach fragrance, the fruits in the opening blend into a creamy coconut to create an almost pina colada-esque scent.

Anyway, this is a gourmand scent - it kinda reminds me of a pina colada - pineapple, coconut and condensed milk. The notes: pink honeysuckle, apple blossom, red berries, creamy coconut, spun sugar, vanilla absolute, pink jasmine, white vetiver, blonde woods, sandalwood, amber, magnetic musk.

French Connection UK, also known as fcuk, was founded by Stephen Marks in London in England in 1972. My favorite scents are sweet gourmands, and while this is a lovely, wearable perfume, it's not sweet. This notice will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, and any disputes relating to this notice shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.I enjoy every layer of this fragrance as it wears but, it is the ending that really is the star of the show for me.

I've bought every jasmine scent they make probably, and so the combination of sweet things (red berries, spun sugar, coconut, vanilla) and jasmine just makes me think of Bath and Body Works.

Yes it is cheap, but reapplying every 10 minutes would mean using a bottle a week of this, not so cheap anymore. I thought of Axe deodorant or something because this one note really ruins the lovely notes of everything else that is good in this frag. True, it is a very subtle drydown, but we deal with some serious heat and humidity and I appreciate the light, breezy, yet still quite feminine qualities of Friction. I was afraid with the coconut and vanilla it would be too "suntan lotion"-y, but it is very much not. The perfumes that captivate you and the ingredients that brings them to life shape your olfactory profile.

I loved it the first times I wore it, but one day I realized that it is similar to Rihanna Reb'l'fleur and now I can't wear it anymore. If you have any negative feeling towards sandalwood, I wouldn't bother with this one, even if it seems like a tempting cheapie. My only complaint is that I can literally only smell it for mere minutes; it is that weak on me with virtually no sillage.It is sweet yes, but the coconut, berries and HINT of floral freshen it up, and it's just a scent I can really picture in a tropical setting. I would not have expected a creamcicle drydown because I did not detect that at all upon the first hour of wearing it. At this point you begin to realize that resistance is futile, you accept the fact that you will be left wondering if you can really afford to eat that bar of Bounty or not for a very long time. Some vanila comes through but no berries for me, just pineapple but its a very nice tarty juice pineapple with some sugar, coconut , wood, amber and vanilla. It is a delicate (and very edible-smelling) gourmand and so sits close to the skin, but I can still smell it on me after four hours of wear.
