I just got this jar of sun dried tomatoes recently and put it in the fridge. When my BF opened it, it looked crazy. It was kind of bubbly at the top which usually means spoiled. This looks spoiled to me but also maybe it could just be the oil solidified in the fridge? I’m not sure. No weird smell. He doesn’t remember if the seal popped. We did end up throwing it away but I need to know!
I have a confession to make… I have been OBSESSED with Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 39/Coco Cabana (if you’re OG) lately which is crazy for me as I used to be a gourmand hater. SDJ obv doesn’t have great sillage and I’ve been on the hunt for something similar that lasts longer, or even better, an EDP. All of the similar fragrances I have tried have not itched that nutty gourmand itch that SDJ has for me. The only thing that has came close is actually the Lume Toasted Coconut deodorant. (I recommend, it’s SO yum). Anyone else on this hunt or has found anything similar (EDP or not, even a lotion or something)?
So far I have tried:
Nest Balinese Coconut (did not love)
Kyse Cocca alla Vaniglia (liked this but not a dupe of SDJ 39 imo)
Theodoros Kalotinis Creme Brûlée (love this but it’s missing the coconutty/tropical note for me)
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Coco (sooooo light and not very nutty gourmand)
Cocoapink Coconut Cream Pie (love this, but not what I’m looking for)
Arnué Âme Blanche (I like this but nothing like 39)
Kuumba Made Black Coconut (I have a bone to pick with this one lol)
+ few “dupes” from perfumers on Etsy
On my list to try:
Khadladj Cream Velvet
Fragrance World Cream of Clouds
Arabiyat Sugar Coconut Chiffon
