LOVE LOVE LOVE. I was so lucky to have found this in stores! (Online only now) It is PERFECT for summer. It smells just like a sweet coconut smoothie to me. It's a little bit sugary. It's just perfect!

I like the fragrance its not too coconutty just right a nice mix between coco butter and coconut banana and florals Its good to put on during the winter,the fragrance is just light enough to be a reminder of summer and not like you are trying to wear coconut tanning oil in the winter nice thick lotion too Im am down to the last quarter of a bottle and now its become a fruited rotted smell so I think the fragrance of the lotion settles on the bottom and doesn't distribute through the lotion evenly The bottle cracked on seam while I was using it. Usually BBW has better quality than this

I, too, label myself a coconut freak. I really love this scent, although I will say it's not a pure coconut scent. It's very fruity and doesn't work for everyone. I mainly love this because it reminds me of past summers. It's discontinued so I always grab a bottle when I find it during a SAS.

I also ordered this off the net. I thought it sounded like a nice summer scent. How can you go wrong with Coconut?

IT SMELLS NOTHING like Summer or Coconut or anything near pleasant. Honestly my bottle smells like rancid decaying flowers. They should describe it as such:

Touch of decaying hibuscus followed up with a hint of rotten honey.

Horrible. Im just throwing it out. I was so disapointed.

I was so excited when my shipment arrived as the description and reviews of this scent sounded perfect! I am sad to say it was anything but. :( I honestly don't know how to explain this scent. I couldn't smell coconut and the other scent in it I can't place. It almost smells like plastic or chemicals. Strange I know. Perhaps it is my body chemistry. Oddly enough, the spray smelled better than the lotion. These 2 items will be going back to the store.

I am going to check out the Coconut Vanille when I am in the store.

I am the ultimate coconut FREAK. I live and breathe and dream coconut. I spend hours searching for coconut scents on the web weekly. I've yet to find that perfect coconut scent that I've deperately been searching for (I actually LOVE the suntan lotion/Hawaiian tropic smell - guilty).


I do smell the coconut in this, but the other scents I can't even identify. It is definitely strong, there's some sort of sharp or citrus scent. Maybe not citrus, maybe mango?? Could definitely be mango.


Anyways, I like it a lot. I'd LOVE it if it were sweeter and less sharp, and if it had more coconut, but it's still a nice tropical scent. I like to layer it with a bit of vanilla or even another single note coconut perfume, just to tone down the sourness of it and add that soft sweetness that it's missing.


For anyone who's interested, candlepro.com has a dead on dupe of this scent in the fragrance oils, I think it's called "coconut cabana", or maybe just "coco cabana type". I like to add the oil to my coco cabana stuff and add a little more scent for frugality's sake. Their oils can be used in bath & body items, oil warmers, and to make candles, which is really cool. Just to be clear I'm not associated with candlepro in any way.

This scent is my sis's favourite, so I picked up 3 bottles on eBay and am using one. Well, I'm sold. I have to mention that I have very oily skin, and I found that this lotion worked perfectly - moisturizing my skin while not making it greasy even the littlest amount. A definite repurchase!


Note: the scent is a sugary, coconut smell that could be said to be intense - so if you like lighter scented lotions, this one is not for you.

Some people tell me this is their favorite scent and my jaw drops. Further proof that two persons can smell the same scent and have polar opposite opinions. I usually like every scent available, I'm not too picky. I have my favorites but I've never disliked a scent as much as this one. I smelled it and wanted to gag. I sincerely thought something had gone rotten in the bottle of lotion and looked inside, fully expecting to see mold. It was absolutely putrid. I smelled numerous bottles and the shower gel to see if there was any difference -- all had this rotting fruit smell that I found just shocking and unbelievable. My friends I was with did not smell what i smelled, but reading the reviews I see that some people and I are on the same level! A definite 'try before you buy' !!!

I love this lotion for summer. Not too heavy, not too light. B&BW lotions are the perfect consistency.

I got this for my friend for her birthday along with the shower gel (which I kept). She LOVES this lotion. And I love the shower gel! I did use a bit of the lotion on my hands though, and it made them really soft. I want this for myself!

"Turn the winter blahs into tropical bliss with the smooth, sunny fragrance of Coco Cabana Moisture-Rich Body Lotion." - reads the back of my bottle.

I smell a mostly pineapple fragrance with a bit of coconut. I picked this up at the semi-annual sale because it was on sale and because I was scoping out coconut scents. I find I prefer Creamy Coconut (fruity, but less so, and more mellow and creamy) and Exotic Coconut (toasted and more true) to Coco Cabana. (Oddly, all three are now discontinued.) This scent was too fruity for me. Pineapple and similar scents don't work too well on me, but I can understand how someone else might like it, so I gave this one an "average" 3. I don't think there is anything really special about it.

Coco Cabana is available during the semi-annual sales and often online. I probably won't purchase this one again. I will stick with Tahiti Sweetie from the True Blue Spa line for my tropical scent.

I love the smell. The problem for me is that as a lotion, it's not that fabulous. However, the scent stays on my skin which a love. So maybe dont mix it with perfume and dont rely on it for superior moisture. I wouldnt but the product again, but I do enjoy it. The scent makes me happy.

Coco Cabana is a staple for me! I stock up everytime they have their semi-annual sale. I'm a sucker for coconut scents and this is one of my favorites even though it doesn't really smell like coconut! I can't say exactly what it smells like but anytime I smell it, it makes me feel like I'm laying on the beach. I guess I'm in the minority here, but that's usually how it goes. If you like tropical scents that aren't overly fruity, give Coco Cabana a try!

I like it. The coconut is blended with other fruits so it isn't as overwhelming as Creamy Coconut. I cannot wear that one but this one is a nice summer scent.

As much as I love Summertime scents. Ones with Coconut and tropical notes, I must say that this isn't one of my favorites. I just never could get into Coco Cabana. Why? I really don't know, but it was always so cheap smelling, unreal smelling to me. It just didn't make me visualize beaches, like other tropical scents I have come across in the past. It was more child-like candy smelling coconut. Not my idea of a sexy summer scent. I think this scent is discontinued,but if you do want to try it, it comes around once a year during their semi-annual clearance. You get a huge bottle of it for a low price. Perhaps you might want to try it for yourself. I personally wasn't impressed with this one, so I will not ever be buying this scent again.

To clear up any confusion, this scent was discontinued awhile ago, which is why they only sell it during the semi-annual sales. That's how i found it, I was stocking up during one of the sales. I love all things tropical and beachy, so when I saw this I was excited. It didn't disappoint! It smells like a tropical getaway, to me at least! I actually like to layer this with the creamy coconut or exotic coconut, and also the mango mandarin. (Again, anything tropical is okay in my book.) Because this is an older scent, I don't think it ever came in a body cream. I always pick those over the lotions but the coco cobana lotion isn't bad at all.

YUM. I love the smell of Coco Cabana! A very beachy/summery smell although i'll probably end up wearing this year round. The only complaint I have is why the hell does B&BB sell this in JANUARY? I was told it is only sold during a certain season.. why winter I have no idea.
