I would love a scented candle that smells like the old Coppertone Hawaiian Tropic coconut scented oil. I can't remember the exact name of it but we used it in the 80s!
I have the Yankee Candle Sand and Surf, but it's a different scent.

I really do. It makes me think of the days I spent with suntan lotion on my back deck trying to get tan when I was a teen. I love that smell.

I hate the smell. Don't like the taste. Interestingly enough, I found out as an adult that I'm allergic to it. Kind of wonder if my extreme dislike for it was my body protecting itself. My husband gets migraines from it. And my daughter can not have/ or use it in any form. Neither of them like the smell. I love it.

I love to eat coconut, especially coconut cake. But I don't like things like scented candles or air freshener a that are coconut.

Dislike it because it reminds me of suntan lotion when I was a kid- the icky thick greasy kind I hated to wear.

I love everything coconut!!
I love lotion and candles.
I love coconut cream pie.
I love pina colada's.
However, I despise coconut water, that stuff is nasty! I could have written this. I love everything coconut, except for coconut water. I want to like it, but it is revolting! There's a white chocolate bar that Lindt makes that is flavoured with coconut, which sadly, or maybe not, is not sold in the UK. I always stock up on it when I visit the US, because it is just the most sublime chocolate ever.

I love the taste of real coconut (not fake flavoring), but I don't really like the smell of things scented with it. It always has a fake note to it, kind of like fake vanilla smells so different from real vanilla. I'm another one who despises coconut water.

I love everything coconut. I love the scent, love the taste and love coconut water. For those Peas that love coconut but hate coconut water I think you probably haven't tasted "real" coconut water. Most of the coconut water on grocery store shelves are heat processed and does taste nasty. I agree totally with you-I've tried it myself. There is a company called "Harmless Harvest" that sells coconut water that has to be refrigerated, because it hasn't been heat processed which destroys the flavor and nutrients. This coconut water tastes delicious! I love it and treat myself to a bottle once in awhile-it's not cheap but worth trying. It's great for re hydration. I get it at my local Whole Foods. You can read about it at www.harmlessharvest.com I have nothing to do with the company, just wanted to let those know who like coconut, but hate the water that there is a great tasting option out there.

I'm indifferent to it. Doesn't bother me. But I don't love it other. I do not like the taste of it at all. Which is good since I'm allergic to it. I'm ready for the coconut oil craze to be over. I can't eat gummy bears anymore because they now use coconut oil. Can't eat popcorn at AMC because they use coconut oil.

Yes, to the point where I will buy crap I don't need/want just because it has the freaking word "coconut" on it. It could be a bag of coconut scented trash and I'd still pay money. LOL I'm a beach person and it makes me think of summer...I just love it.

I honestly thought this was a rhetorical question! I love coconut scent and flavor and thought it was one of those universal good scents, like bread baking or cookies. I do understand the dislike for faux scents, I feel that way about banana.

Tropical Blend suntan oil on a hot beach somewhere. Now that I am old enough to enjoy it I sit in the shade with SPF 200 and a cold drink in each hand. I wish I could still bake in the sun for a whole 10 minutes because I am bored by then. But I do not. I don't like the smell of coconut oil that much either.

I'm ok with it as an ingredient in foods, but I hate the scent. I have no fond memories of beaches and tanning -- I associate it with terrible sunburns -- coconut oils of the 70s and 80s was never the SPF>60 that I need to avoid serious damage. I actually kind of gag when I smell it as a room spray or candle scent.

I cannot stand the scent of coconut or things scented with real or fake coconut smell. Same thing with vanilla-scented products. Both scents make me gag. But, I actually like the taste of real flakes of coconut, and I like coconut macarons, those coconut bon-bons, and dark chocolate with coconut.
I have to be careful at this time of year to avoid it, especially since so many sunscreen products (and other products) are scented with coconut/cocoa butter. It's everywhere - GAH!

I hate the smell of coconut scented things - lotions, candles, sunscreen, air fresheners. I have no problem with Coconut Cream Pie or Macaroons. Hijack- Dear Co-worker, please don't use coconut scented products before coming to work.

I LOVE the scent of coconut! Reminds me of sunning on the beach with a fruity drink in my hand. This is exactly why I love the scent of coconut - it's so summery and beachy. Takes me back to my younger years when we used to slather ourselves in Reef Coconut Oil with an SPF of about 8! Yeah, we didn't worry too much about skin cancer back in the 80's. Arnotts brought out a new Tim Tam flavor earlier this year, Pina Colada. I wasn't really a fan, it tasted like I was eating the aforementioned Reef Coconut Suntan Oil!
