Lucky for you,there is a very simple answer to your question,Trumper's Coconut Shave cream!
It's one of the most popular shaving creams,and having used it when I first started shaving it's reputation is well deserved.It is fabulous on the skin,great lather and a lovely coconut almost pina coloda scent.

GFT Coconut Cream smells just like coconut milk from the cans I buy to fix curries with. Delicious!!!

The English Shaving Company site is in the U.K., and they have it. Suppose to have free shipping for awhile longer, probably based on some minimum order amount. Might check them.
Yep free worldwide shipping to 16th June. I believe the minimum order is 10 pounds... 200gram Bowl is 14.75 pounds (inc vat) so will be slight cheaper still
A tub of Trumpers Coconut should easily fall over the 10GBP minimum for free shipping. I wil tell you, however, that I think you will be disappointed with GFT if you are looking for a strongly scented cream. Trumpers Coconut has an exceptionally light scent.
I respect your judgment, and I have heard this opinion stated before by others. Realize that this is coming from someone (me) who has a hard time picking up the smell of lavender, but to me the aroma of GFT coconut is readily apparent and lasts all through my shave.
Of course, I should have mentioned that your sniffer may differ
(the rhyme was unplanned, but it's staying)

That's a keeper
Call it YSMD and make it an official acronym! It could go with almost any discussion about scents.Cheers,

What about Mama Bear's "Toasted Coconut Glycerin Shave Soap"?

GFT Coconut is a great soap and certainly has a great scent.
I just used a sample of the Trumpers Coconut I got the other day. I liked it a lot, great smell, great shave.
I will however say that the smell is not really as strong as something like Mama Bears soaps would be, but really pleasant.

I am surprised to see GFT being called lightly scented 
.... man, it is too strong scented for me! Luckily it fades quickly... however it is an excellent cream.

Really? maybe my coconut sniffer is off....because I found the TOBS Lavender and the T&H Rose WAYY too much for me to stand...
I'm still new at this, but are you saying that GFT scents are usually more potent/robust than the other brands?
i love trumpers, that pina colada smell that stays with you all morning,
how does the trumpers coconut cream compare to the soap?
They're both excellent examples of what they are. Which you would prefer would likely just be a matter of whether you prefer creams or soaps. Mind you, there are some who swear that Trumpers Coconut cream is even better than other Trumpers offerings, so I suppose its possible a soap loyalist may even prefer the cream.
No, I wouldn't say they were more potent than others.... just more potent than I like in this particular scent. It goes well with the bay rum AS though.
