If you like any of the beachy smelling perfumes, such as Estee Lauder's or Tom Ford's, then check out Avon's Tahitian Holiday for a fraction of the cost -- while it is being introduced it is only $9.99, later it will be $15, still a bargain.
This scent smells a whole lot richer than the price! One of my daughter's loves it and would like some of her own.
First, I have to say I'm not a fan of either Estee Lauder's from last year or this year, but I like Tahitian Holiday. (Not to mention I'd like to go on a real Tahitian holiday!) To me, and on me, Estee Lauder's grabbed the oiliness of the scents, and I was afraid over time it would smell rancid. Second, when it smells so much like suntan oil, why bother paying for a perfume, just use suntan oil...
The notes of Tahitian Holiday are:
Ginger, tiare, coconut oil, musk, monoi oil (evidently monoi oil is tiare flower and coconut oil.)
There is enough coconut to balance the tiare, and while there is a beachy/oily/coconut smell, it smells like fragrance, not suntan lotion.
I bought the edt spray. I have not tried the body spritz (now $6.99, will be $9) which is dual-phase (it includes moisturizing oil.) They say it cools, moisturizes and refreshes (that's 3-phase.) (I didn't notice that it separated in the bottle, so I'm assuming it didn't and is thus blended well.)
There is also a shimmering body lotion ($5.99, will be $7) and a hair mist ($5.99, will be $7) that is a leave-in treatment with moisturizers and UV filters.
I've also ordered Meet Mark's Instant Vacation Greek Isles. I'll let you know more about that one when I try it in quantity vs. a small sample. I loved my time in Greece, so this will give me some memories.

Happy to have found your site – you’ve been linked!
I am definitely buying this one unsniffed – I go on a coconut bender each summer and this is such a great deal!
I think you’ll like it. It’s a comfort scent in some ways. And it’s long lasting, to boot!
If you long for a true sweet coconut, The Body Shop has (or had) coconut oil. It’s not very long lasting, but conceivably you could dab some with other fragrances to give it a coconut oompf. Also, they have a coconut foaming bubble bath, which a male SA told me was better than the shower gel for showering. I liked the way it smelled better than the shower gel, so I’ve used it ever since. It is a HUGE bottle and smells delish.
