Last week, I found myself at an impossibly chic dinner at Soho House and the star of the night was Coco de Mer, the ultra-limited fragrance line born from the Seychelles — and let’s just say, it delivered.
Created by Sharon Bonne, a Seychellois Creole powerhouse (and her scientist parents), the Coco de Mer Collection is the first to capture the legendary scent of the Coco de Mer palm’s husk, a scent that was, until recently, nature’s best-kept secret.
Each bottle contains a rare extract from one of only 5,000 fiercely protected palms on Earth, making it less a perfume and more a limited-edition passport to another dimension (ideally barefoot, on a veranda, sipping something cold).
The collection includes:
-
FANM (red bottle): sweet, floral, fruity, ambery — like heat on skin after sundown.
-
OUD (black bottle): leathery, citrus-floral, golden-hour seduction.
-
LODAS: citrusy, spicy, woody — a punchy entrance, a warm linger.
-
SOVAZ: woody, fougère, fresh — smells like a good decision on a bad night.
-
ZONM (blue bottle): fruity, woody, with amber notes — think skin, salt, sex, secrets.
Less than 50,000 bottles produced annually.
Only fallen seeds are used — sustainably, ethically, beautifully.
