In my hunt for a signature summer scent, I came across the brand Sunday Forever. I’ve been having a full blown coconut moment lately- from cocktails to cake, I'm obsessed. I was never a big fan of the texture growing up but I always loved the smell, taste + tropical yumminess. It seems as if I'm re-discovering my love + then some now that it's summer. Coconut also seemed like a good place to start for a summer scent. Now don't get me wrong- I want to eat a piece of coconut cake BUT I don't want to smell like one. I love a coconut smell but didn’t want anything just straight up coconut, too fruity or artificial. I wanted a more sophisticated coconut- something subtle, complex and just yummy. Irresistible! I came across the Sunday Forever “Coconuts” perfume which initially caught my eye because of the gorgeous bottle! So pretty right?

The description + the reviews are what won me over: "addictive, ethereal, warm and sparkling. Not too sweet, no tropical fruit, just pure toasted coconut magic." I also found out Sunday Forever sells lots of other items including a few more scents: Eau De Babe and Smokeshow. An even bigger win-win is that they sell small sample sizes of each scent which I think is amazing + what I ended up purchasing. Scent is such a personal, chemical experience. Even if you like how something smells out of the bottle, it's always important to give it a little test drive. 

I opted for their Tiny Try Me Duo which comes with a mini Coconuts perfume + a mini Eau De Babe perfume. Eau De Babe is a slightly altered version of Coconuts with an added Oud touch. It just made sense to also grab a sample of Smokeshow too while I was buying, right? In the name of research, we might as well give it a go too. Smokeshow is a blend of blonde woods, whipped musk, bergamot and vanilla orchid.

Right out of the bag, I really like how all three scents smell. There is an intriguing element to all of them- Coconuts being the most subtle to me. Both Eau De Babe + Smokeshow have a little something extra in there. A little extra kick or spice, if you will. I can't put my finger on which one I like the best out of the bottles but I'm definitely going to try them all out + see which one wears the best on me. 

Let's talk a little packaging too! I give them an A+ here. Everything arrived safely + was wrapped up nicely. I love the extra details on the card inserts, the free button + the actual look and feel of the sample bottles. They are made of glass + came with a nice fabric pouch for travel. The overall vibe is very clean + sophisticated. 

What is your go-to fragrance?
