Has anyone found the ultimate coconut smell?

potsofmoney_(I_wish)

Hi all,
I am searching for the ultimate coconut smelling body butter or lotion. I love the body shop body butter smell,but am looking for a more economical one. I've tried one from Asda, Tesco, Superdrug, and look and sniff in every cosmetics shop I go in. I even tried to make my own, but just don't have the time. I also found it difficult finding the coconut smell.

Any ideas? Has anyone found a good smelling coconut cosmetic?

TIA

Malibu suntan lotion, smooths the skin, and protects at the same time

Why not buy a tub of coconut oil? Much better for your skin and smells amazing, coconut oil is relatively cheap too.

At Christmas my daughter bought a set of body butters from Costco. I think there were 4 tubs in the set for about £10. One was Coconut, another was Olive. Don't know what the other one or two were. She kept the Coconut one and gave the others away as Christmas presents. She is on holiday at the moment, but I have just entered her "pit" and found it. It is called Delon+ Coconut Body Butter. The website is labdelon.com, and it is produced in Canada. The second ingredient listed is Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil). Trust me when I say she reeks of coconut, the bedroom and most parts of the house likewise, when she uses it. Bless her :rolleyes:

Not all of them are fragranced, if you have the brand of one to recommend I'd love to try it. I've tried the boots solid coconut oil which is ok, but can be very greasy and is temperature sensitive. I use tons of the stuff as I use it on my 3 children as well as me every day. I used Palmers for a while, which smells lovely but didn't get on with how solid it is and the lotion is hard to get out of the bottle as it gets used up so quite a lot gets wasted.

I buy Inecto Coconut oil body wash from Home Bargains for 99p, it smells divine. They also have the same make body lotion for either 99p or £1.99 which I haven't tried yet, but intend to as the body wash is so nice.

I've just put some body butter on and been told I smell like a bounty!

I'll have a look at the make next time I go upstairs - I know I got it in Tesco.

In winter leave the tub a little near a radiator for a while before you want to use it. In summer ten/15 minutes on a sunny windowsil should be ok (refering to coconut oil and presuming you're only using on body not for food too.:o)
