Coconut vanilla whipped cream with a touch of honey. Sandalwood is nowhere to be found. Love it for summer, but many sprays are required. Good layered with a body oil to make it last.

This is a truly delicious, sweet fragrance, though the name is misleading. I detect no coconut whatsoever. It’s a simple, linear scent that smells almost exactly like Haagen Dazs Honey Vanilla ice cream tastes. It’s a delightful bargain in an unboxed glass bottle.
I highly recommend this if you have a hankering for a professional quality, reasonably priced, luscious gourmand vanilla fragrance.

It’s really gorgeous!!! Sweet! Honey and coconut!!!! (it does smell quite a lot like coconut!). Beautiful violet and sandalwood, vanilla and honey!!! Yum!!! DELICIOUS!!! I love it!!! My husband adores it, and so do my kids!!!!
And the bottle is gorgeous too!! So pretty!!! I love the colours, and the birds, and the writing!!! It’s all so artistic and fun!!!

I love this scent, but it doesn’t last…..IT DOESN’T LAST!!!
If you like quirting yourself every 15 minutes, By all means go for it. It’s lovely and light (coconut & vanilla ) with a warm honey base note. It’s a fresh summer scent, causal and sexy. It’s frustrates me that it has no staying power….It could have been a Classic!!! P.S…. Did I mention, It doesn’t Last??

My husband says it smells like “old-school play-doh”. He loves it!

Smells as titled, honey note with a coconut note. Sweet and creamy without being cloying. Works for all seasons, in the summer for beachy outfits or in other seasons to remind of tropical vacation. Sometimes the overall scent smells like gourmet vanilla ice cream which is yummy! This is a pleasant light summery gourmand. It does not last long though unfortunately.
Jak – :
This perfume is very generic sweet floral vanilla to me and is nothing special. I started wearing this to go run errands, but even for that it left me wanting so now it just gathers dust on my perfume shelf. It’s not a *bad* smelling perfume, but it rates somewhere around boring drugstore vanilla body spray to me. Pass.
nijna01 – :
This is a really nice light gourmand scent; wearable and uncloying. My 17 year old self would love this. However, at 32, I feel as though I should seek something a bit more multifaceted and sophisticated. This wears as toasted marshmallow/honey on my skin. I do get a touch of violet, which gives this a teeny bit of depth, but still…. Too young. Oh to be 17 again!
demid123 – :
this gets my vote for most misleading fragrance name. now, going into it, i knew there were no actual honey or coconut notes, but on me this is soooo green, leaning toward bitter. i get an extremely vague, barely audible whisper of sweetness way off in the background. it’s impossible to tell whether this quiet sweet note comes from vanilla, honey, etc. since the greenness is so overpowering. it also gives off a certain salt air quality. this perfume personifies the childhood memory of snapping and chewing dandelion stems in my aunt’s backyard by the Jersey Shore. not a bad thing, not even close, just not at all what i’d expect from something called Honey Coconut… i seem to be in the minority with my experience, especially because most so-called sweet scents tend to scream sugary-ooey-gooey-sticky sweet mess on me, but it’s pretty fascinating how many different ways individual body chemistry can influence a fragrance!
*update: the more reviews i read on this fragrance and having tried it on several more occasions, the more i suspect the sample decant i received must be mislabeled. the fragrance i have could not be further from sweet and gourmand. as stated before, what i get is a sharp green note on a fresh air background with what feels like a bit soapiness and a vague hint of (maybe yellow?) floral i can’t identify. it’s not a bad scent, but not something i would typically reach for. i’m now pretty sure this isn’t just a bizarre case of clashing chemistry, especially when my skin tends to wear gourmands well. now i’m interested to know what fragrance i actually have…

I would be head-over-heels for this scent if only it lasted longer. I get this delicious violet and sandalwood with the honey on my skin, but within 30 minutes it’s mainly just vanilla and sugar. By an hour, it’s almost completely gone.
dfktynby – :
This is delicious and sweet, very true honey scent. Just a little bit tropical but mostly sweet honey and a bit of warm woods. A bit sticky but not too cloying, you could wear it in a professional setting and not feel as though you’re overwhelming the room. A sweet scent you could wear any time of year, it’s not too heavy even for warmer months.
Fenrir555 – :
i really want to try this can you get it in the uk though?
Skaizer – :
Though not listed in the notes, Honey Coconut does in fact smell like coconut, or more specifically coconut lotion (according to a blind smell test by my boyfriend). It is to Pacifica’s Indian Coconut, what Kenzo’s Amour is to Hypnotic Poison. I prefer Amour, and I also prefer Honey Coconut.
If the above analogy is useless to you, I’ll also try to describe this scent without making any comparisons to other fragrances.
Honey Coconut is impressive because it is simultaneously ultra sweet and whispery. There is a tiny bit of saltiness in the sweetness. After buying it, I smelled it next to wildflower and buckwheat honeys. There is no true resemblance. It smells as much like actual honey as it does like actual coconut. Projection is good but soft, longevity is average-pretty good.
When I smell Honey Coconut from a distance, it reminds me of a vacation town and being down the block from a bakery or treat stand. The intense sweetness of “something somewhere” keeps teasing you and piquing your interest, but you aren’t sure whether it’s cupcakes or caramel corn, or what… On closer inspection it’s… IT’S…
still a mystery.
Could it be something with coconut?

Beautygirl…..
No…I don’t consider this to be a powdery vanilla. It feels “moist” to me…like so many have mentioned…”sticky” sweet. I left a review way back and can’t remember exactly what I said but yes….this is like a moist confection…chewy and palpable…not wispy or soft. It has a nice hint of tropical coconut too!
пабло альберти – :
I smell like a birthday party: white sugary confections and a few fresh-cut flowers. I smell like a slice of vanilla cake slathered in coconut icing. Mmmmm yummy
milana – :
Is it a powdery vanilla? Anyone who has this and can tell me please 🙂
novitexkievelit – :
This is a nice thick sweet scent. Sugar, vanilla, and floral honey. It’s simple, but not without a bit of charm. I actually do get the violets on my skin. They are deeply embedded in the honey though. The honey note is rich and “perfumey”. It is a velvety and slow scent, and it somehow feels warm. It definitely has a sweet sophistication. It thins out as it wears and becomes more sugary vanilla towards drydown. Some note at the very very first spray reminds me of Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar, but it fades quickly – and this is definitely a more substantial fragrance. It also slightly reminds me of a sweeter and prettier version B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar. A sophisticated, feminine, and enchanting sweet honey fragrance.
Razor-six-four – :
SWEET SUGAR RUSH! I got a little free sample bottle of this, and wow is it sweet. All I can smell is vanilla sugar; no violets, which I would have loved, and no coconut, which I am glad for. I love vanilla, and this stuff smells delicious, but I can’t see myself actually wearing it. Perhaps sweet gourmands are just not for me, because the vanilla seems to completely take over on my skin whenever it’s included. If you like Honey Coconut, the good news is that it lasts a long time. 8-10 hours on me. It also layers nicely with fresh fruit scents.
andrw87 – :
This should be called “Vanilla Ice Cream with a Hint of Coconut” 🙂 I can’t really smell the violet, honey, or sandalwood, but I would say this is a nice French vanilla ice cream flavor. I just had a thought that this might smell gorgeous layered with some patchouli. It’s a sort of one-dimensional vanilla (in my non-expert opinion), and quite sweet, but it would be a nice frag to layer with pretty much anything to make it sweeter. Hmmm, I think layering this with Spicebomb (or another mens frag with some nice cedar, etc) would be really yummy for Fall/Winter! Anyways, overall it’s a nice sweet vanilla. Not my favorite but it’s nice. Especially if you want to sweeten up another scent.
andrei1612 – :
I hate how this fragrance is light because i LOVE the smell. Not proud that there’s no coconut in here but i love that’s it’s sweet, fresh and a little girly. Fell in love when smelling the hand creme so I bought the fragrance. Light scents are good things…don’t underestimate them, but i prefer this one to be a little heavier so i can smell it more. I love anything with honey, vanilla…anything warm and creamy (not too much though)
plainenex – :
In my personal wrist to wrist face off, this a dead ringer for Victoria by Victoria’s Secret. Honey is all you smell here. Not a drop of coconut. This is so beautiful to me as Victoria was my signature for many years before it was dc’d. It’s like finding a lost love! The lasting power isn’t great, maybe 2 hours tops but the beauty of the sparkling, warm honey dancing on your skin makes up for that. Sillage is good while it lasts. I truly love this!
Mixey – :
I am trying the hand creme just now, and to me it smells kind of like vanilla ice cream… I get almost only vanilla, maybe a tiny bit honey.
lut – :
I thought this was a delicious scent despite the lack of coconut, however I would not buy it again as its lasting power is terrible especially for this price.
denisss – :
I have to agree with LaSenorita – this is really awful. This perfume has made me honeycocophobic, I’m afraid to try anything with either ingredient for fear it will smell this bad. I hid mine in a bag deep in my closet in shame. I tried giving it away but after many a uhgh and geez and spare me, I threw it away. Ladies don’t waste your money.
Denhard – :
I wanted to love this, it sounded perfect for me, but ugh. I don’t think I’m a fragrance snob (yet) but this smelled very synthetic and juvenile – there was nothing subtle or inviting about it for me. Disappointing.
liross – :
Honey Coconut is a simple, sweet and pleasing honey scent with subtle floral undertones. There is NO coconut in this perfume, despite the name. Pomme Poivre, which I also sampled this week, likewise has nothing to do with apples or pepper. The names in this series really don’t say anything definitive about the notes. The correct notes (from the Love + Toast website) are: sweet honey, sugared vanilla, violet, sandalwood.
The honey is the strongest thing going in this fragrance, with a touch of vanilla and sandalwood lending some underlying warmth. The violet isn’t at all powdery, but there is a noticeable floral tone running through this fragrance that brings a welcome tinge of freshness amidst all the heady sweetness. This fragrance is wonderfully simple. It’s all about the intoxicating scent of sweet, creamy, golden honey, and yet it retains a sense of the fresh flowers that played a role in the creation of that honey. It does smell quite natural.
The only thing I can really compare it to is L’Instant, however Honey Coconut is much simpler, much less thick, and yet I would say it is sweeter. I haven’t yet decided if it is a must-buy for me, but I do like it a lot and have a feeling it will grow on me even more. When I sampled it for the first time yesterday, I became increasingly addicted to sniffing my arm as the hours passed. The lasting power was also extraordinary – almost 24 hours after applying it, I could still smell it.
DsQuared – :
What a disappointment! Being a coconut freak, I couldn’t wait to sample this. However, all I got was an overpowering honey blast with a very chemical-smelling sugar drydown. Ugh.
vova19650422 – :
I got the little luxe mini of this scent; which is a splash, not the spray. This is a really cute fragrance. I smell honey and a playdough-like vanilla. If you like Pacifica’s Indian Coconut Nectar or Island Vanilla, you will like this one too. It’s not a sexy scent to my nose, nor does it seem to really project or last for hours on end. However; it’s a fun scent for warm daytime weather (that’s when I would choose to wear it), and I can see myself reaching for this a lot during the summer.
banana5130 – :
i usually dont go for vanilla and coconut scents..but i tried a little on at work (whole foods) and i got so many compliments. so the next day i bought the perfume and body creme for layering. it is the perfect spring/summer scent ..love it!!
serg3574 – :
Warm honey,vanilla in a nice way not sickely sweet just soft and yummy.
Lasts a long time on me and i can acually smell some coconut even thoug its not any
In it, dont know why.
Great for winter time when you want to feel warm and cosy.
Really like it
Codex_Gigas – :
this is sweet yummy honey. i love this. this actually reminds me a bit of pink sugar, but this is actually sweeter and in a good way. did i say i loved this? i am a gourmand freak and this perfume really does it for me. this actually lasted at least 7 hrs and i could actually still smell it faintly. i will buy this again…. soon. 10-10 from me.
sub878InsuffBooni – :
This is lovely, i have tried alot of honey scents and the honey always smells,… somewhat wrong or off to me. But this is really sweet but also has a nice amount of depth. I love it. But why is it called honey COCONUT if there is no coconut notes?? I can’t smell any coconut, or violet, or really any sandalwood either! i do get the sugared vanilla in the background and it comes out more in the mid phase, but the honey is still the main note.
izjunkman47 – :
Love & Toast HONEY COCONUT reminds me a lot of Laurence Dumont VANILLE VIOLETTE. Key word here: sweet. Very sweet. Very, very sweet violet fragrance. The honey is quite prominent, but the vanilla is also detectable, and it goes without saying that the sugar cubes are not an exaggeration in this case!
Is it true that there is no coconut in this fragrance whatsoever? Well, there was no gin in GIN BLOSSOM either. Margot Ellena appears to be working out a philosophical thesis best summarized in the following phrase: “Anything could be anything.” This may be why she confers such odd and irrelevant names upon her fragrances. In this case, it’s not totally irrelevant, because there is definitely a detectable honey note. But coconut? No, this is much more about violet, it seems to me.
Anyway, if you like the Laurence Dumont Les Senteurs Gourmands line, you’ll surely like this creation, which is also very natural smelling and every bit as sweet. Just be sure to have a triple expresso and a pitcher of ice water at your side!
NetsNiftispsw – :
As other’s have stated, this also reminds me of Honey and the Moon. I love Margot Elena and her creations….they are always unique and the packaging is artfully done. I put this on eight hours ago and it’s still very evident on my skin….usually scents stay a very short time on me(1-2 hours) It is SO so sweet but I really love it. The sweetness is tempered with sandalwood but the sandalwood isn’t obvious…it just gives the honey a bit of dry, earthy smokiness. The violet just barely peeps through in the most beautiful way.It is so soft, sweet and lovely….it’s like those old-fashioned violet candies, drizzled in raw, smokey honey!
Oh…and…..I don’t smell any coconut.
I am loving this.
EDIT: The first review was after I had tested this scent but had not yet purchased.Although I still feel pretty much the same as my first review, I recently purchased a bottle and for some reason, the scent smells a little differently to me now. There is definitely a slight “tropical” note for the first few minutes. It must be the coconut but smells more like a coconut/pineapple combo to me. It doesn’t last long but gives this more of a tropical vibe than I smelled the first time….I guess I didn’t smell ANY thing tropical the first time. Feels a little more sheer ( less heavy and drippy and smokey) than I remember too. Doesn’t seem to last as long as I remember either. I tried it on the first time when the air was really cold so perhaps that makes a difference. I still love it but it’s funny how that happens.
Deroxknipk – :
The honey note is very very intense! I like sweet perfumes but this one is waaaaaay to sweet! It smells like your IN a beehive.
pravidnik13 – :
This is not what I had hoped for. More of a milky scent at least on me. It does not remind me of coconut at all. Nice bottle but not what i had hoped for.
Hellena666 – :
One of my favourite scents-pure honey with sugared violets with soft vanilla topping!!!
Bright,cheerful fragrance for cold winter days-very good sillage and longevity!!!
kkl809elipseskism – :
I am beginning to think that a combination of honey and sandalwood is not working out for me. From this fragrance I get an effect similar to what I get from Tokyo Milk Honey and the Moon — some sour fruity notes in my honey. It wears like a slightly honeyed fruity fragrance on me. Don’t get coconut here either which is fine with me since I was interested in honey. Not my honey though, and doesn’t last very long either (under 4 hours I would say).
