Lait de Coco
by Urban Outfitters
Lait de Coco by Urban Outfitters presents a soft, milky, and gently sweet coconut fragrance that feels more like a high-quality hair or body mist than a traditional perfume. It unfolds with a delicate lactonic quality, evoking coconut milk, vanilla, and praline, balanced by subtle bergamot that prevents it from becoming cloying. The scent is light, clean, and comforting—reminiscent of a fresh shower, skin care products, or gentle synthetic ambrette notes—making it ideal for those seeking a summery, delicate, and wearable gourmand scent. While it lacks strong projection and longevity, it wears close to the skin, offering a discreet, skin-scent-like presence that many appreciate for layering with more complex fragrances. Its transparent, white liquid and elegant bottle enhance its appeal as a niche-friendly addition to a scent wardrobe. Most users describe it as simple, sweet, and lightly sweetened with praline and vanilla, though it lacks depth and power.
Pros
- +Much better than expected given the price, offering a pleasant, milky coconut scent that feels refined and luxurious for its cost
- +Ideal for layering, effectively adding creamy, sweet depth to both gourmands and fresh scents without overwhelming
- +Delicate and discreet, perfect for sensitive skin, offices, light summer wear, or bedtime use
Cons
- −Very weak longevity—often fades within an hour or two, making reapplication necessary
- −Extremely low sillage, often imperceptible beyond the immediate skin proximity
- −Faint projection and lack of power make it unsuitable for those seeking a noticeable or bold scent
