I purchased this last summer as the reviews made it sound like a refreshing scent and they were right!
The lasting power wasn’t the best, it faded within hours after spraying. However, I sprayed it in my hair the other day and I could smell it much longer than if I were to just wear it on the skin.
I get the sweet, but fresh pistachio and coconut from beginning to end.
Most fragrances that have coconut can be like vanilla perfumes that just suffocate your lungs but this was a subtle coconut that lingers in the background.
I truly enjoyed this, I wish it wasn’t limited edition!

I purchased the trio mainly because I wanted this one. Unfortunately, it’s my least favourite of the three. I get no coconut or pistachio on me, it ends up smelling like a sharp patchouli based bathroom cleaner! Based on the reviews below, it seems like this one does have a lot to do with your own chemistry. On a positive note, the longevity and sillage are really good on this one, so if the scent does work for you, you’re on to a winner 🙂

Sweet coconut. This is not fresh or crispy on me, more like syrupy and sticky. Quite good sillage and longevity. Nice and different edible scent and heliotrope is there too.

Divine, paradise comes to mind.. I adore this fragrance, enchanting, romantic, drifting on a warm swirling bed of magnolia, serene and sweet.
My friend could smell it days later in my hair although I had not used it that day.
I would recommend this fragrance to anyone who enjoys the Caribbean sensation and smells. 10/10
Yummy!!

* These are my personal experiences/thoughts with this fragrance. Yours/others may differ. *
Initial – coconut + sorbet + violet leaf
Drydown – patchouli + musk + coconut
Duration – 5-6 hours
Projection – moderate
Experiences – The opening is quite interesting – very different from anything I have ever smelled. A very unique twist on coconut. Sadly, the drydown is a major disappointment – all I get is patchouli and musk with a hint of coconut. It’s a light and clean patchouli that is good for summer, but as I am not a fan of patchouli-dominated scents, this one is not for me.
Quick Thoughts – unique, patchouli, coconut, summer scent

I got this for my birthday in 2016 and I have only kept it and used it because my boyfriend gave it to me. This scent was not my thing at all. The coconut almost made me feel nauseous. I don’t think this lasts for more than three hours and it fades very fast. I used it up a week ago and I will not be looking for any similar fragrance.

Love, love, love this! This is delicious, fruity and creamy ice-cream. Amazing smell on the skin. I’m surprised at the reviews saying it doesn’t last long, I must be one of the lucky ones as this lasts well on me! Strong at first but it does settle down to be a more subtle fragrance.

Finally found it at Ross for $20. It smells so good like nothing I have ever smelled before.

Mouth watering did you say?! Drool all over sounds more appropriate. This smells like heavenly ice cream served at the perfect temperature with an incredibly indulgent, rich and creamy texture. The fragrance engulfs you and the cold coconut water served at the very top is a thirst quenching appetizer paving the way towards frozen pistachio ice cream!
This is no ordinary ice cream either, it is gourmet ice cream served at an air conditioned ice cream parlor some where like in the Maldives! The jasmine is not hot and heady, it is rather refreshing and stays in the background almost as if the couple sat behind you were drinking iced jasmine tea. You also get the impression of chilled cake sitting on freezing dessert stands which looks and smells divine, but you ultimately end up ordering ice cream!! Absolutely delicious, watch your cravings!
Gypeswell – :
It smells like ice-cream 🙂
I think there is a banana note as well
I like it , but it has zero lasting power and its quite a faint scent as well,
they should have intensify a lot more
I would classify it as floral fruity Gourmand
zkv13433 – :
I bought this one just because of the sorbet note, unfortunately I cannot detect it. 🙁 On my skin it’s a very green and fresh scent, but creamy at the same time. It’s like raw pistachios with a freshly cut grass smell and green apple, plus the coconut (water).
If you don’t like it this raw like me, try to combine with simple and sweet coconut perfumes, like Fcuk Friction. These two blend very well. Fcuk cuts the sharp raw edges, but keeps the weirdly unique part of the original.

This is a fresh gourmand. A nice scent for the summer.
I know the description says “pistachio sorbet” but to me it smells like a yummy, a bit acid, green apple sorbet. And the green apple smell continues to the drydown. I can´t actually smell anything other. If i try really hard, maybe the coconut water. Ok, a bit of pistachio too. but definitely not pistachio sorbet. It is overall just this green apple smell ( that turns a bit sickening and synthetic as the perfume drys down). I am actually surprised green apple is not listed.
Anyway, a nice fragrance but overpriced. It is not really that special and in one hour it is almost gone.

This is my new favourite gourmand. I’ve tried all three in this line – Fruity Rooty and Dreamsicle. Fruity Rooty was just very forest fruity and not that exciting, and Dreamsicle I didn’t like at all. I LOVE Cool Swirl!! This is like ice cream in a bottle. I’ve been looking for a scent that smells like ice cream and this is EXACTLY that. I smell pistachio, coconut, honeydew melon, cookies and vanilla ice cream. Soooo nice..creamy and a very unique scent to me. Never smelt anything like it.
Querumnfuex – :
Just got my fb, was so curious about this note pyramid! Cool Swirl opens with a sweet burst of blueberry, quickly joined by wet, cool, juicy green violet leaves. A bit of creaminess joins in, some blend of gentle coconut and the sweet kind of ‘jasmine’ that’s popular in today’s white floral blends. This is however the closest to “sorbet” that it gets for me, but it is a very fun zippy scent! After 2ish hours it’s reduced to a heliotrope (soft, warm vanilla) skinscent on me with just a touch of coconut still. Honestly the opening reminds me more of BALENCIAGA L’ESSENCE than anything else what with all that wet, green violet leaf.
I’ll wear this one as I wear other DKNY Delicious scents: for a few hours of playful sweet fun! 😀 The sillage is close to skin after about 45mins on me, longevity’s only maybe 3 hours (dry, scent-eating skintype though).
To Lulu169: my bottle does look like the liquid is yellow if you hold it up to light, like in the pic on here.

I agree with passionata20 about the dry down of this one. It is creamy, nutty, lush and snuggly .The top notes smell too much like coconut suntan lotion for my tastes, so, although I can see why people would love it, I probably won’t buy it. I spent a lot of summers smelling like this as a teenager, now I am going more for the fruity vanilla thing that I never did in my youth.

es muy rico ! se siente el olor a coco pero no intenso , tambien una mezcla de helado de pistacho ! muy groumand fresco
helduncooconi – :
Light gourmand scent, made mostly of sorbet and pistachio notes. If you don’t mind smelling like a cookie, try it. Nowadays many new fragrances smell like sweets, some even smell like sugar bombs, but luckily Cool Swirl keeps its sweetness under control.
Recommended for gourmand lovers.
Blondinka – :
I have this feeling that a small part of this perfume is DKNY’s Be Delicious. Somehow it comes in mind.
I also sense sweet sorbet and coconut in it.
Sweet, tender and light, very nice summer fragrance, but the others from that line were even better.
I am afraid this one doesn’t have very good sillage and longevity. But nice and outstanding anyway. I guess I just wouldn’t buy it, because it’s too weak.
AlekseySyzran – :
This is my least loved in this collection. I can get the pistachio scent but also something Spicey like pepper?
I also get that musky scent and something like the smoke from a bonfire. At the same time it’s fresh and somewhat sweet. I think this would be great for summernights. Not partying, this is more like of a veranda and red wine kind of fragrance to me. A little more mature and sophisticated.
Xeroxdpode – :
in my country (Germany) the bottles look different – they are all just unicolor (green, orange, pink). does anybody have seen this Cclors like here on the pics?? just wondering…
VVasilevsky – :
best longevity out of the three…I washed my hands already several times, but it is still there as intense as when i applied it
ivan56 – :
great pistachio gourmand! if u love pistachio, u wont pass on this…there are not much pistachio fragrances at the market yet, so grab this if u like it plus ice cream smell
vicin309 – :
I’m disappointed. I was prepared to delve into the heavenly smells of pistachio, blueberry and coconut, but instead all I got was a sweet apple sorbet from initial spray to drydown. I don’t know how that’s possible as apple isn’t even a listed note, but that’s what it smells like to me. There’s a hint of muskiness in the drydown, but a personally don’t detect any patchouli or flowers either. So sad, this one could actually be an interesting perfume if they’d put some effort in the creation.
levkinasy3ag – :
Cool and refreshing.
This smells like a cucumber and mint smoothie to me. Very refreshing and green, just slightly sweet. I think this would be perfect for a boiling hot day.
Silage is medium and lasting power around 4 hours.

I have managed to test the whole trio and this one is the least favorite of mine, HOWEVER(!!) I would put it on the second place with “fruity rooty”.
Tve reason is that they are both good, but not perfect for my taste. While i like the opening of “fruity footy” and no much the drydown, “cool swirl is the opposite: i don’t like the opening, but i like the beautiful pistachio drydown. The ooening is very fresh and resembles the original “Be delicious” quite much and i strongly dislike the original. Fresh and green, high on the musk and jasmine it smells very ordinary. BUT!! the drydown is a pure magic: bitter raw pistachio with violet leaf and light musk. It is veeeeery nice, you have to smell it. I don’t get ANY blueberries, almost no coconut, NOT a hint of pachouli. It stays fresh, virginly green, like the first young tree leaves in the early spring and very captivating, thanks to fresh raw pistachio accord!!
Soft sillage and moderate lasting power and a very reasonable price are the perfect combo for the upcoming spring. A must have!!!

blueberry, pistachio and sorbet sound awesome but not in the same fragrance!!! how will they shine through?
