Coconut Pulp CO2 - Organic

I've been reading previous reviews just to see if anyone else enjoys this as much as I do. Indeed there are positive responses below! This Coconut Pulp CO2 is like coconut oil right out of the jar. Warm, rich, milky, fatty. Mmmmm! Hm! It's like the oil I rub on my body straight out of the Trader Joe's Organic, Cold Pressed, Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil jar. Heaven and coconut- tropical in a bottle! The one downside is (as mentioned in the EB description) that it does not blend readily with perfumer's alcohol (I use 190 proof organic grain alcohol). I am chill filtering like crazeballs but these fatty deposits are insane! There's like tiny little snow globe snow glitter bits... (except not glittery) stuck all over the walls of my glass beaker. I wish I could include a video of what is happening in my lab. Haha! The filtering for this little sucker is insane! I hope the end result still captures the complete effect once it's filtered. I'd pay extra to buy it already filtered in perfumer's alcohol. Alas, this is part of the "Artisan" craft I suppose. Haha!

I bought a supply of this oil when a customer requested I stock it. The aroma is very weak and similar to regular coconut oil. My customer has since complained so I will refund her. Please remove this oil from your listings as you will get more poor reviews. All the other oils I have bought from you have been exceptional but this misses the mark by some way. From the Oil Room: Hi Lawrence - We’re sorry to hear that one of your customers was unhappy with their purchase. It is possible that your customer was accustomed to synthetic coconut fragrance oil which would be more powerful than a natural extract. Our Coconut Pulp CO2 is an enhanced version of standard coconut oil. It is Cold Pressed Coconut Oil that has undergone a three-step extraction process that serves to enrich aroma (concentrates the delta lactones responsible for typical coconut flavor).

Comparing to the co2 coconut pulp when it was first released by Eden, to now, their is a definite scent difference. The original smelt more deeper and complex, smoother, more buttery or creamier, utterly amazing! In contrast to the current one, which almost smells more lighter, almost as if it was a different type or age of coconut, or a mix of different coconuts, or diluted, slightly more green, less deeper and does not last as long somehow - i can't put my finger on which of these it is!. I keep smelling my old one, nothing compares. Which is a shame, this current one is still a beautiful coconut scent, but preferred the original by far. From the oil room: Hi Anita - We’re sorry to hear about your disappoint with the current lot of Coconut Pulp CO2. And we agree! The original lot of this product purchased in 2014 had a deeper aroma that we preferred. Unfortunately our manufacturer had to change their production process and their raw material source back in 2015 which resulted in the change in aroma. Since then, quality has remained consistent. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

I love this coconut CO2! It's just like opening a bag of shredded coconut and taking in a big whiff! Although I like the traditional suntan lotion smell, this is true, pure, actual coconut fragrance, nothing like suntan lotion. I've had the coconut absolute in the past and found it really weak in aroma, so this was a revelation and a wish come true. This is a must for 'foodie' fragrances and of course, tropical ones, and would be great in Orientals too. It goes really good with the aforementioned essences, especially with vanilla, sandalwood, and ylang ylang, but also goes really well with frangipani, white and gold champacas, white ginger, tonka bean, and citruses, especially lime! And it lasts long too, it's basically a base note.

Just received this product today. The fragrance is true, but, so mild as to be worthless. My virgin coconut cooking oil has a stronger smell at a much lower cost. I will not order this product again, but, will continue to purchase other exceptional products at Eden Botanicals.
