tyvey Posted May 21, 2010 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:
luna65 Posted May 21, 2010 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.
tyvey Posted May 21, 2010 Author 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... LA VIE DE BOHEME..... Edited May 21, 2010 by tyvey
july_girl Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 This sounds perfect! It's a definite "yes" purchase for me
ladybegood1 Posted May 22, 2010 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
ivy_fiddlefox Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) yummy, this is really is like coffee ice cream!... Edited May 22, 2010 by ivy_fiddlefox
Invidiana Posted May 23, 2010 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! Edited May 23, 2010 by Invidiana
luna65 Posted May 23, 2010 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.
Calii Posted June 3, 2010 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!
tyvey Posted June 8, 2010 Author 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
goddesslynne Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hmmm, anyone with a sniffie that's not gettin' the love, please let me know!! I really want to try this one!!
luna65 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hmmm, anyone with a sniffie that's not gettin' the love, please let me know!! I really want to try this one!! I think I just got a sniffee with my last order, Lynne. I'll check tonight when I get home, but email me at [email protected] so I can respond to you there and let you know.
Kovvy Posted June 17, 2010 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!
bumbob Posted April 9, 2011 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:
Ishtar Posted July 14, 2011 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
tyvey Posted July 14, 2011 Author 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
Ishtar Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 You bet! You absolutely deserve to wear your delicious creation, and enjoy every second of it!
luna65 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I was *just* thinking today I need a Coconutty week so I can wear this!
ivy_fiddlefox Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Yes I have a sniffie of this and it is delicious, unfortunately the vial has leaked alot
Synergist Posted September 5, 2012 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 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 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'?
Calii Posted September 8, 2012 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!
tyvey Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 There's no cake impression intended in my coffee cake more like a flavored sweet coffee.
snowflake Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Thank you, Calii and Tyvey. I think I should include one bottle in my next order.
LadyVictoria Posted September 9, 2012 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 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.
LadyVictoria Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Coffeemate has this flavor.. Coconut creme.. YUM I drink this with my coffee in the am.. I imagine this scent to smell like this
luna65 Posted September 9, 2012 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. The coconut in this one goes a little husk-y on me, but it's mostly a creamy scent, very yum!
LadyVictoria Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Sounds delish both the PE and almond joy Haven tried that one yet
tyvey Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah the coconut is NOT suntan lotiony on me at all-- more supporting -- if I have a sniffie I will try to remember to include in next trade -- please remind
Calii Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Thank you, Calii and Tyvey. I think I should include one bottle in my next order. You won't be sorry,it gets better,richer,every time I try it the "cake" is more like the struesel crumbles topping on a Coffee Cake,that was the intent I believe Yumz,sniffed it last night while checking the level to see if I need to move over spare bottle yet
LadyVictoria Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Yeah the coconut is NOT suntan lotiony on me at all-- more supporting -- if I have a sniffie I will try to remember to include in next trade -- please remind YES WILL DO! XOXOXOXOX Edited September 10, 2012 by LadyVictoria
Eastwood22 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Just the name of this PE lets me know it was amazing. I'm going to Hawaii in a week and cannot wait for the coconut extravaganza.
