In a nutshell

Reviews →

Built around creamy vanilla and rich coconut, this gourmand scent from Pacifica delivers a sugary beach vibe. A soft base of whipped cream and almond keeps the scent feeling like warm coconut macaroons. It works best during warm sunny weather for casual daytime wear when you want a simple, budget-friendly fragrance.
