King's Crown - Grüner Tee (Green Tea) - Mango-Kokos (Mango-Coconut)



This is a flavoured green tea where the flavour is actually a taste not a smell.

It's a fun tropical twist on normal green tea.

I don't have a photo because I drank it all.

Price: 5/5 ($1.36 for 20 bags)
Rating: 5/5

Pure Beach - St. Tropez Shampoo - with Coconut & Passionfruit


This is a hotel sample from a recent adventure.

It doesn't really smell of coconut or passionfruit, and it doesn't contain any extracts of either.
It's just a generic shampoo smell.

And it's great for cleaning up blood!

It does, however clean well, lather well, and doesn't leave a residue.

Price: 5/5 ($0.38 for 25mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (generic shampoo scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Kris n Rad - Conditioning Shampoo - Coconut


This is a shampoo I got from a hotel!

It smells like a mix of coconut and baby shampoo.

It doesn't take much to clean your hair, lathers and cleans well.

If you find this in your hotel room, you're in luck!

Price: 5/5 ($0.24 for 30mL, I found a site where you can buy a box of 400!)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Versace - Crystal Noir - Eau de Toilette


This is quite a unisex scent!
It is very heavy in green notes, with green florals, musk, incense, sap, some spice, and lavender.

This is a Autumn night in a well-cared for garden.
This is moths dancing around a street lamp as you move from one great party (for +25 year olds) to the next.
This is that spark of electricity in the air when the weather turns.

It is a strong scent as well.

Fragrantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: ginger, cardamon, pepper. (agree with all of these)
Middle Notes: orange blossom, peony, gardenia, coconut. (agree)
Base Notes: sandalwood, amber, musk. (agree, but it has smokiness)

Price: 1/5 ($140 for 90mL, I have a tiny sample bottle!)
Scent: 5/5
Season: Autumn
Strength: Strong
Time: Nighttime

OGX - Sunkissed Blonde Lemon Highlights - Citrus Oil Mist



This is a great way to distribute a fine mist of shine-giving oil over your hair!

The packaging on this is just great! No spilling. Fine mist. Cap stays ON!!!

It adds a nice shine to the hair without making you look like you put a roast chicken on your head.



There is mostly a strong coconut scent, followed by citrus.

Gives you a glossy coat!

Does it enhance blonde highlights? Nope.
Don't buy it if you want it for highlights.

Price: 3/5 ($17.99 for 118mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

The Body Shop - Italian Summer Fig


I don't know if the person who formulated this has ever encountered a fig before.
This smells like coconut.


COCONUT!

Not fig, it isn't even fruity.
It is a good summer scent (coconut is known for this).

But all it needs is a sharpie to fix it:


Done!

Scent: 1/5 (not fig!)

Strength: moderate
Season: Summer

Purple Prairie Botanicals - Organic Olive Oil Lotion - Frankincense & Myrrh


This smells AMAZING! It is herbal and spicy.

It contains olive, sunflower, coconut, frankincense, myrrh, orange, and rosewood oil.
It also has witch hazel, black willow, and rosemary extract.

I really wanted to love this, but my skin on my torso didn't agree with it. 
But you better believe it was all used up on my legs!

It absorbed well and left my legs well moisturised.

Price: 3/5 ($15.89 for 237 mL)
Scent: 5/5

Premium Spa Australia - Body Butter - Coconut & Vanilla

I got this over a year ago to keep at my desk.
I have to say I really don't like the scent, it is very strong on the macadamia and coconut notes.
It is very heavy and oily, but surprisingly doesn't feel very moisturising or rich when it is on the skin.

Also, the container has a false bottom!!!! There is not as much as in the container as you think D:

Even though it is a good price, it isn't that effective and hence not really worth buying.

Price: 5/5 ($9.99 for 190g)
Scent: 0/5

Australian Gold - Face Guard Sunscreen Stick

I picked this up in Los Angeles, USA of all places. This is not a brand I have ever seen in Australia (which is kind of odd because it even has a koala on it)
It is SPF 50 and I used it on my arms primarily.

It smells strongly of coconut and doesn't leave your skin shiny or oily.

It's a shame I have used it all up.

Price: 3/5 ($6.15 for 14g)
Scent: 3.5/5

Versace - Versense - Eau de Toilette
This was a little sample bottle I had, I don't normally buy designer things, just to make that clear!

To me, it has notes of lime, green foliage, woody notes and a little bit of coconut. This is a morning, spring scent to me, with only a short lasting time and small sillage.

Fragrantica places the notes as follows:
Top notes - bergamot, fig, green mandarin, citruses, pear
Middle notes - lily, jasmine, cardamon, narcissus
Base notes - sandalwood, Virginia cedar, olive tree, musk

Price: 1/5 (rrp $110 for 50mL)
Season: Spring (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Light (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 4/5

L'Occitane - Shea Butter - Foot Cream
This foot cream has a property that I haven't encountered in another foot cream yet: it is oily... and I LOVE IT!

The skin on our feet doesn't produce a great deal of oil by itself, so to give it a little extra boost, an oily foot cream seems brilliant (to me, at least).

This rich formula smells beautiful with coconut, lavender, rosemary and sunflower oil and is best put on at night, with socks over it, for an easy foot treatment.

Obviously don't walk around your house with oils on your feet, or you will have a bad time.

Solution to not being able to walk:
Anyone else remember scooter boards from primary school? :p

Price: 3.5/5 (rrp $12.00 for 30mL)
