- Key notes:

Perfumer: Chris Bartlett.
The Elephant’s formula has a fresh air nuance and violet leaves in the opening. The heart layer is sandalwood highlighted with ambery kohinool material and the base has accords of chocolate and coconut milk, both used to enhance effect of sandalwood rather than turn fragrance into a gourmand.
Fun fact: Elephant was originally meant to be a spicy chai and sandalwood fragrance to represent India. The sandalwood idea stayed, but the idea of elephants in their habitation led to the green, fresh and leafy top instead.

The dirt road is bumpy, glowing red in the fiery sunset. The truck lumbers through Mediterranean farmland, kicking up dust at every turn. You put your hand out the passenger window, experiencing the dry heat of summer and the rich smell of figs. Pulling into the grove, you fill your mouth with sticky figs. The driver takes you by the hand and you start running towards the sounds of laughter and music. There are flamenco guitars, dancing, milky cocktails. You spin around and around until the colours of the crowd swirl into infinity.
Perfumer: Joëlle Lerioux Patris
About Coconut & Yuzu by The Body Shop
- How does Coconut & Yuzu differ from these similar fragrances?
- Coconut & Yuzu uniquely balances the creamy sweetness of coconut with the sharp, citrusy brightness of yuzu and a subtle jasmine floral note. Most fragrances listed here focus on coconut paired with other notes like amber, woods, or tropical fruits but lack the distinctive citrus-floral interplay of the original.
- Are any of these fragrances as fresh and bright as Coconut & Yuzu?
- Still Life in Rio stands out for its fresh coconut and yuzu combination, closely mirroring the brightness of Coconut & Yuzu. Others like Chameleon and Fiery Fig 24.05 offer fresh interpretations but with different supporting notes such as sea salt or fig.
- Which fragrances here have a powdery character?
- Ambrosia, Bain de Midi, and Fawaki Fawaki include powdery notes alongside coconut, adding softness and complexity not present in Coconut & Yuzu’s fresher, citrus-led profile.
