Question:
Ah, the coconut tree..."the tree of a thousand uses" ... but the note itself has often been misused in perfumes, most of the times resulting in a strong heavy coconutty scent.

Frederic Malle Carnal Flower and Creed Virgin Island Water are the only two fragrances I know which have an expertly weaved coconut note - the note is perceptible, yet never overwhelms the composition. It complements the other notes instead of overpowering them.

Are there any other fragrances which contain a perceptible coconut note yet aren't overly coconutty ?

Answer:
Serge Lutens Santal de Mysore has just a hint of coconut that brilliantly enhances the ripeness of its sandalwood base. Ah, it is heavenly.

I have heard that the Estee Lauder (Tom Ford) redo of Azuree, when it came out last year as a body oil, had light notes of coconut in it...milky almost in strength. Now Lauder's reissuing the body oil and coming out with a fragrance also at the end of the month.
I also must say that I agree with your comment that Creeds VIW handles coconuts nicely - that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I smelled it... Oh THIS is what coconut can smell like in a scent!

Answer:
I get some coconut in Paul Smith - London.
I fell for Carnal Flower this weekend at Barneys.

Answer:
Philosykos has a light coconut note too. Very clever - until Philosykos I really hadn't been aware of the similarity between coconut and fig. The coconut/fig thing is more obvious (less well done but still pleasant) in Demeter's Fig Leaf.
It smells like sweeties, so I'm a bit embarrassed to like it so much, but I've been very taken by Laura Mercier's Coconut Almond edt.

Answer:
Coconut is front and centre in Aramis Bermuda Tonic, so perhaps too much.
It's more subtly blended into Armani Code.

Dante - So correct on Bermuda Tonic. Whew! Almost cloying.

Answer:
There's a coconut note in Marc Jacobs for Men. It rather saves the fragrance as far as I'm concerned.
