Coconut Lime Verbena
Bath & Body Works

Sorry but I do not see this as a decent replacement for VIW. There's just no creamy, boozy, coconut, suntan lotion to be found. My wife still has some of the B&BW body lotion of the same scent to compare with and I like that better, probably because it has that creamy lotion vibe. This EdT has plenty of lime and green verbena but it's just too sharp and bitter for me. If it had some creamy sweetness added then we might have something.

Projection is below average for me while longevity is only 4-5 hours tops.

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 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
