tyvey Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 OK first of all, the coffee in the picture is PRECISELY what I was envisioning when I ordered this!! Wet: for me it started out black coffee. Dead-on, head-over-the-french-press-as-you-pour-in-the-water coffee. Bright but not at all bitter. While drying down, the coconut quickly came out, equally to the coffee, to give the impression of coconut flavored coffee (oh hai Invi!). Very nice, and uplifting! but I admit I was like "where's my vanilla/cream :'( ". But wait there's more! After about 20 minutes, a creamy vanilla came out to play! Yippee! And after *that*, it all melded (melted!) together to give a very harmonious, almost spicy impression, like maybe cloves or cardamom (both of which I adore). It didn't actually smell like those things, but had the same mild-spice feel. So, at least on me, it needed a bit of time to bloom. The brown sugar never did come out for me (at least on this first trial) but ain't no thang. If I *must* have more sweetness, I'll layer it with OCCO Pink, or Pure Sugar. :happycaffeinateddance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I received a sniffee and this is absolutely delicious! For me, I need a coffee blend with more sweetness than spice and for that reason alone I love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) YAY! and I spoke too soon - the sweetness/creaminess is coming out more and more. Almost nutty. It is reminding me of... gasp...

ladybegood1 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) I cannot wait to try this one on! I think I may try it tomorrow. It smells like a delicious grind shop wet. One of my all time favorite smells--based on what Tyvey was describing, I am gonna love this one on dry down! Though I hate the taste coffee, the smell is luscious--coffee lovers will like this one I think! Edited May 22, 2010 by ladybegood1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiana Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) This is so rich, so creamy, so indulgent...wet the coffee is the strongest element but as it dries down the delicious coconut emerges and, just like in the description, a thick ice-creamy vanilla. The proportion of everything is just right and it makes me wish I was in Florida enjoying one of these damnit!

luna65 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 The best coconut ice cream I ever had was in Honolulu...can't remember the name of the place, though, but they made their own and it had really big chunks of fresh coconut in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 This is just a creamy delight ...I get no coconut but since I am having that problem with Pie In The Sky also,it has to be me I love the coffee in this,by far the best I have smelled in a fragrance,soooo smooth!

halo0073 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I am getting equal parts smooth creamy coffee, coconut and brown sugar. Brown sugar seems to be taming a bit the more i wear it but it's kinda killing me.My amping nemesis. Nobody else gets the brown sugar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Not me - it's not all that sweet on me actually - I adore brown sugar and WISH I amped it! funny. Edited June 8, 2010 by tyvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovvy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 This is lovely! I'm one of those people who hates the taste of coffee but loves the smell, so this is perfect. Delicious coffee with creamy, nutty coconut and vanilla in the background. Delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbob Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! ITZ SO GOOOOOOODDDDD!!! AHHH..... DELICIOUS!!! Im just sniffing my arm every 2 second!!! The coconut reminds me of the coconut in Pie in the sky! The cream note is slightly sweetend with a hint of coffee!! OMG. THIS IS AMAZING. :banana052: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtar Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) The coconut in this is scrumptious! Combined with the sweetness and creaminess of the ice cream, it's like smelling chunks of fresh coconut meat and pieces of candied coconut at the same time. Verrry appetizing to say the least! I don't get much coffee at all, which is not a bad thing since I usually start out enjoying coffee scents, but don't tend to wear them much. This on the other hand... and I am sure it'll layer beautifully with all sorts of stuff, too Edited July 14, 2011 by Ishtar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm *SO* happy that people like this... I like it so much I pretty much never use it for terror of, well, it getting used up. MENTAL NOTE: MUST WEAR TOMORROW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergist Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well, this is pretty much what the title says! Coconut, coffee, ice cream. Altogether it goes a bit pink and foody to my nose, deliciously sweet with a little bit of gentle spice. This is probably one of the only coffee scents I have tried that I've liked - the coffee is so well balanced by the other notes and the sweetness.

Calii Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 This is one of my special "in the vault" favorites,will be bringing it out as soon as the weather cools here,or sooner ...Have you tried Tyvey's Coffee cake? it is amazing,and surprisingly on the sale list,if I did not already have two bottles,would surely get more!

snowflake Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I never had a chance to try Tyvey's Coconut Coffee Ice Cream. Is it similar to Tyvey's Coffee Cake? I like coffee scents, but I wonder if the coffee scent in this one would be overpowered by the 'cake scent'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Tyvey's Coffee Cake is more coffee than cake on me,it is delicous...I have one boosted with Open Windows and love it,the perfect combination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 There's no cake impression intended in my coffee cake more like a flavored sweet coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyVictoria Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I am so sad that there was never any of this for me to try. I love coconut ice cream and I love tyvey's coffee and all the coffee scents LP has created so far. I wonder if I mix sugared coconut with BBM and tyvey's coffee will I get this?

luna65 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Possibly, although I don't think there's any spice in CCIC. For me, now that it's aged a while, it's really more like a Coconut Mocha except there's no chocolate. But I don't really get an ice cream evocation from it.

luna65 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah kinda; that's one of my favorite flavors of Coffeemate too. I also like the International Delight Almond Joy flavor.
