Description
Pina Colada is the scent of the cocktail of the same name, made of coconut, pineapple and rum notes.
n 1950’s Puerto Rico, Don Ramon Lopez-Irazzy developed a delicious homogenized cream made from coconut. The product became known as Coco Lopez and was used for tropical dishes and desserts.
In 1957, Ramon Marrero, a bartender at Puerto Rico’s Caribe Hilton, combined coconut cream with rum, pineapple juice and ice in a blender to create this famous drink. Victor Bergon, of Trader Vic’s borrowed Marrero’s recipe and called it the Bahia.
It is available in 30 and 100 ml bottles, as well as the body care products.
Pina Colada was launched during the 2000’s.

what about layering this with CREED VIRGIN ISLAND WATER? for added projection and punch?

I am getting onions, which is difficult to understand as I own their pineapple and it is spot on. Something about this blend ruins the entire concoction. Blech!

At the price of 10 e I gave myself the illusion of lying on a Bora Bora beach. Too bad it lasts only minutes. It does not seem synthetic to me. It runs smooth on my skin. Sure at first it reminds me of the drink but after that it gets powdery and fresher. Yummy and elegant .i wont give up on this…ever

Quite artificial, pineapple stands out the most. Not enough coconut in this concoction for my taste.

Curvealert nailed it, below me. This is a pleasant scent in theory, and I adore Demeter and their ability to create fun scents that smell like fun and memories and nostalgia and weird things (uh, Mesquite, anyone?)….but this is just a sweet batch of very synthetic Pina Colada. And it is STRONG. Anyone that says Demeters don’t have the sillage or longevity just need to try this one out. It’s tenacious. I’m borderline headachey over this one, in fact. It smells delicious, if a little fake…but I’d rather have the real thing. Very very pineappley.

I like the idea of collecting a scent library so that you can test and remember individual notes and concepts. However, I wouldn’t wear most of these as a perfume and this one is no exception. It smells exactly like a piña colada (in the most synthetic way possible) – but who really wants to smell like a piña colada? I’ll just have a drink, thanks!
Сармат – :
Spot on. Not terribly perfume-like but very true to its subject. Lots of fun.

the opening smells exactly like a pina colada drink, not something id wanna smell like unless i was at a beach or out on a hot hot day, however the drydown is this beautiful pineapple coconut smell and i just wanted to keep sniffing my wrist every 10 minutes and wish it would never fade away

I had high hopes that this fragrance would be a classic pina colada fragrance. I wanted the combined smell of Coco Lopez, fresh pineapple juice and good rum. This fragrance starts off with a very bad interpretation of pineapple, and some coconut. The coconut is not the rich, heady Coco Lopez smell, nor is it any coconut that I’ve ever smelled either fabricated or in nature. Maybe it is a really poor vanilla, but even this is a big stretch. I smell no boozy rum to speak of. The dry down is the most disappointing part of this fragrance: it is a chemical, rotten (as in mold/bad fruit), “vanilla” scent. This fragrance is horrible! If you are looking to remember and/or celebrate summer, PASS on this fragrance!
