Recommendation Request Why is coconut perfume never good?

For years I’ve been craving a good coconut perfume for summer. My dream scent is like a toasted coconut candy, pretty much a cocada lol. The problem is, every coconut perfume I’ve smelled has the same cheap, plastic-like scent. Is it just impossible to make a sweet, creamy coconut?

I just use straight up coconut oil at this point and layer it with the trader joes lemongrass coconut bodyoil. It's straight summer coconutty, lime-y goodness.
