coco noir

coco+ coco madamoiselle + allure sensuelle = coco noir. this is a perfect blend between three frags ,i honestly really like coco the original but i didnt find this one so bad as many reviewers stated ,on my skin this develops so good and not so overly feminine ,not overdosing it could b perfect even on a man skin . i wonder why males frags dont have this kind of sillage and longevity on my skin .
the bootle is the quintessential of elegance and luxury

Black Beauty

The Boyfriend came back from a business trip and brought me (besides himself) the perfect gift! Coco Noir! Oh, how I have longed to hold and sniff this gem!

On me the opening is fresh, I can detect the citrus notes combined with bergamot. The middle stage follows quickly and gives me a delicious note mix of: rose, jasmine, narcissus and a hint of geranium. (geranium is a no-no note for many people, yet in CN it's well blended so don't fear!) Hmmmm
The base is the oriental heart of the scent and gives me patchouli, tonkabean, sandalwood and a finishing touch of soft musk.

It is to my nose a mix of Coco & Coco Mademoiselle. It's fresh without being too crisp. It's herbal without being too heavy. It's a *hybrid Chanel* and very sensual on my skin. I think the best way to approach this fragrance is to NOT compare it to the other Chanel scents, but to let it unfold and show you its own character on your skin. It's -without a doubt- a Chanel. And it's perfect for people who like CM but would like a version of CM with an oriental twist. Or, for fans of Coco that would like to have a version with a 'fresher' edge.

I like it and think it a nice addition to my Chanel collection. It's classy, sexy and gives me whiffs of two of my favourite perfumes, and a THIRD perfume when those two meet. I am glad that The Boyfriend bought it for me because I DO think it's a bit overpriced when compared to the other Chanels. I think the house of Chanel might have made a mistake in judging our willingness to be charged so much for something that -although- pretty is a known scent experience, as supposed to something ground-breakingly new! But, I guess the "Die Hard Fans" will pay up.

Silage is: "a real Chanel is on my skin, perhaps I even layered two of them?" -- Longevity is: "a warm and fresh aura that last long -8+ hours- but becomes on me a close to the skin scent as the hours pass.

The bottle needs no endorsements, it is really as gorgeous as in the photos.

Weclomed Surprise

I was out yesterday Christmas shopping in Richmond, VA and came across the Chanel Boutique along side Doir, PdM, Creed, and TF. I've never seriously considered a Chanel, but since I own numerous PdM and Creed, I thought I'd check out Chanel. The representative sprayed a few sample on paper and handed me Blue Parfum, but I was instantly captivated by Coco Noir. It's sophisticated, dark, modern, but yet classic, ...I thought this banger is fantastic! I am a man and own numerous niche & designer fragrances and this one is amazing. Coco Noir is top shelf quality and performance. IMO this frag is 100% unisex. Guys should not dismiss Coco Noir and take a chance to break from the norm. You will not be disappointed. I am very glad I purchased the 100 ml bottle. I have already received unsolicited compliments! ;-)

Hidden Grandiosity

Compared to novel perfumery Chanel still cherishes their tradition. Coco Noir is compilation of prior Chanel's successful editions, something like the Best of Chanel. It is not revolutionary, but it's recognizable among contemporary female perfumes - Chanelish. It opens with minimum of citruses and aldehydes, followed by rose and big kick of beautiful jasmine. Sweet tonka and healthy dose of patchouly morph from the base, succeeded by some sandalwood, musk and small dose of olibanum.
Although predictable, I adore this perfume on women. It has some old grandiosity hidden under several layers. This is a scent worth attention. Not great, but very good.

mademoiselles older sister?

After smelling this today,the smell is somehow familiar, I find elements from both the Coco classic and from Coco Mademoiselle.Coco Noir doesnt have the spicy part of Coco, only the velvety base, and from Mademoiselle it took the harsh patchouly and the bitter bergamote who are playing together in the opening notes, but in time they are more tempered. There is something in the base that gives a nice touch, the olibanum, it`s quite perceptible and adds a bit of a mystery and depth. All and all a nice perfume
