Description

The first spray is fresh but also warm spicy, it's striking and all throughout the life it's different. Both Coco Noir and Coco Mademoiselle are woody amber fragrances, whereas the original Coco is a soft amber.

The 'Coco Noir' design is photo of the well-known Chanel perfume bottle with a black and white striped straw inside. Instead of the gorgeously blended and slightly powdery orange, bergamot and lemon, Coco Noir starts with a very bright and powdery grapefruit.

It's very intimate, quite "serious" and grown-woman, and if sprayed on clothes, for me lasts the whole day with a VERY soft projection (probably no one else can smell it). Chanel is perhaps the most prominent in the world of perfumes thanks to the timeless Chanel N°5 but also to the more recent creations Gabrielle and Coco Madmoiselle.

I liked the vanilla in the base, but I wish that I got more vanilla in the base and I find the base far too strong on the earthy patchouli, the spicy and strong frankinscence and cloves, the resinous benzoin and the strong and masculine concentration of woody sandalwood. This oriental eau de toilette, with its warm and voluptuous notes, is the perfect choice for evening wear. It has elements of a spicy Oriental, a floral aldehydic, a citrus, and a chypre, and something that smells like rosewood to me. Top notes are Grapefruit, Bergamot and Orange; middle notes are Rose, Geranium, Jasmine, Narcissus and Peach; base notes are Patchouli, Sandalwood, Olibanum, Tonka Bean, Vanille, White Musk, Cloves and Benzoin. While Coco Mademoiselle shouts to take away the whole room's attention, Coco Noir is that content light of elegance that doesn't need to scream to be seen as others are drawn to it anyway.I don't always mind that as I'm usually in the mood for something inconspicuous these days, but I can see the lack of projection being disappointing for some. The opening for this is fresher rather than a dark noir, that freshness stays a while before the spicyness and woodiness that Coco is known for, sets in. It has sweetness, it has woodyness, it has a green edge and a slightly spicy bite, but it doesn't veer off into one direction and remains contained. Its drydown has an almost chewy, sweet tobacco resinous smell that still stays dry and never cloying. My experience with my ex boyfriend kind of tainted this perfume for me but didn’t take away my love for it, I look at it now the way I looked at him…as beautiful, and enticing, but unattainable and kind of cold but still warm, like a campfire inside an igloo.

Then as it dries down it smells clean, slightly powdery and a lit bit citrusy with light florals and some pretty patchouli. The stylish black/white picture frames have a perfect fit and are also easy to open at the back by means of supple buckles.The grounding geranium and the ascending bottom notes of vanilla and tonka bean are then added, bringing the heart notes of rose, jasmine, and narcissus into play delicately and elegantly. My grandma wears the original Coco Chanel and I thought it might be a younger twist on that, but it's very masculine and sandalwood heavy. Fast-forward 10 years, and I decide to check out Coco Noir, and I’m surprised by how much I enjoy it. It has all of my favorite ingredients, but I can't distinguish any of them because they are blended to perfection.

I disagree with the reviews mentioning bad lasting power, I can smell this on clothes days after I spray it. However, it doesn't give me the same warm and fuzzy feelings as the 3 previous Chanel fragrances I fell in love with do.Ongoing partnerships with some of the biggest companies in the world including Net-A-Porter, Harrods, LVMH Group and many more. Delightful very crowd pleasing mix of flowers in a warm woody base - I don’t find anything so “noir” in this one but there is a gentle breeze of warm spices. It was the first one I bought because I was becoming intrigued by this oriental-adjacent, aldehydic character that seemed to serve as an accessible point of entry leading towards what I thought of as vintage fragrances. Has some aspects in common with Coco Mademoiselle (the same sour patchouli), but it's more green, more sour, juicier and more perfume-y, mixing aspects of old-style perfumery with the simpler scents of the latest decades.
