Up for an adventure? Bring your senses to the tropical rainforest with DS & Durga Jazmín Yucatan scent.

The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Coconut water, frangipani, and vanilla
Hit the beach with this fragrance babe that leans more fresh and floral than it does fruity. Despite its name, the frangipani and slightly salty vanilla are the stars of the show at first spray while the coconut is in the background. But once it mixes with your skin, the coconut becomes more prominent and turns slightly sweeter but nothing overpowering.
