Coconut Passion Body Lotion 236ml
Coconut is the whole appeal of Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion Body Lotion 236ml, and it is handled here as a creamy material rather than a tropical gimmick. Cardamom is the detail that lifts it. That green, slightly camphorous spice sits over the coconut and vanilla at the top and keeps the opening from being one flat sweet note, which is the usual fate of coconut in a moisturiser. Orange adds a quick brightness beside it, freesia a clean peppery petal, and heliotrope brings a soft powdered sweetness of the old cosmetic counter sort that sits very naturally against vanilla. Musk runs underneath all of it, close and skin like. The finish is the best part: benzoin gives a resinous, balsamic sweetness and tonka bean adds a dry warmth with a faint bitterness at the end of it, so the cream does not simply smell of pudding.
Nine materials, which for a scented lotion is a generous list, and the vanilla appearing in two tiers tells you where the emphasis lies.
In use it behaves as a lotion should. Smoothed into damp skin it holds a soft scent for hours without projecting, and it is the quietest way to wear a sweet fragrance, since the sweetness stays against the skin instead of filling a room. 236ml is a sensible quantity for daily application after a bath, and it is just as useful on dry elbows and shins in winter as it is on bare arms in summer. The scent is marketed to women.
The company has been selling in America since 1977, with lingerie first and beauty and apparel following. Leslie Wexner's The Limited bought it in 1982, and in August 2021 the break from L Brands left it independent. Beauty, fragrance included, is run internally rather than under licence.
