Courteney Cox has revealed the one perfume she always has to hand in her bag, calling the £38 CocoMoi perfume ‘gorgeous’ and praising it for being ‘small so that you can take it places’
January is the perfect time for doing a little bit of life admin, and that includes doing a big clear out. One thing that’s often missed off our cleaning list is our handbags, as Courteney Cox discovered when she recently cleared out one of her everyday bags.
In her Instagram video, Courteney went through the contents of her bag in a bid to clear it out, and unearthed some of her favourite things that she’d forgotten she had. Amongst the hair clips, lip balms and charging cables, she spotted a bottle of HomeCourt’s CocoMoi Perfume Oil, £38, of which she said: “This is my favourite thing, it smells so good. I like the fact that it’s gorgeous and small so that you can take it places. Yeah, that is incredible.”

Now, Courteney may be a little biased – HomeCourt is her brand, after all – but the perfume oil has also gotten some glowing reviews from shoppers too. It has a 9.4 out of 5 star rating, with one saying: “Love, love and LOVE!!! The scent is wonderfully warm and cozy and lasts all day. One of my new faves for the winter months.”
Another agreed: “This first day I wore this, could not get enough of the scent! Was asked by many what was I wearing :)”
Whilst a third chimed in: “This is the best coconut scent ever! I have tried so many that I purchased online and this is the ONLY one that I have loved.”
In fact there was only non-five star review on the website, from one reviewer who said: “Love the scent but it does not stay.”
The CocoMoi Perfume Oil comes in a handbag-friendly rollerball design, which allows you to whip it out and reapply it whenever you want. It’s also made from naturally-derived skin-nourishing botanical oils, and is alcohol, paraben and sulfate free.
It has a lovely warm coconut-based scent that’s touted as ‘light and sophisticated’ in the product description, with key notes of fresh coconut water, cedarwood and creamy fig. It’s balanced by warmer, spicier notes including sweet cardamom, vetiver and black pepper, and was inspired by the warm, grounded feeling of walking on the beach at sunset.
For other coconut-based perfumes, Who is Elijah has a similar scented fragrance. The EAU perfume is usually £80, but is currently reduced to £64 at Boots for a 50ml bottle.
It has similar notes of coconut, fig, pear and tonka, making it a gorgeous scent that can be worn all year round, although it’s definitely got a tropical, summery vibe. You can also pick up the Who Is Elijah 11 Vial Discovery Set at Boots for £36 (was £45), which includes 11 samples of the brand’s best sellers, including the EAU scent.
For more handbag-friendly picks, the & Other Stories Roll On Perfume In Perle De Coco comes in a handy 6ml bottle and has a rollerball top, just like Courteney’s CocoMoi Perfume Oil. This perfume has a sweeter scent, with top notes of caramel and red apple, heart notes of bamboo, jasmine and ylang-ylang and base notes of vanilla, warm milk accord and sandalwood.
