Coco Noir Chanel 2012 Eau de Parfum

If someone like me, who is a self-confessed Gourmand lover, a fragrance that could not be more dissimilar to a Gourmand, so like, then that must mean something. Stil(l) and secretly he has crept into my heart and into my collection, this beautiful, cool, graceful and strong Boss-Lady fragrance.

Coco Noir I got as a bottling a few months ago in the course of a swap. I expected me not much, because I did not know the fragrance and with Chanel eh never warmed up, except with "Chance eau tendre edt". In the meantime, actually came "Allure edp" and the Crowdpleaser par excellence "Coco Mademoiselle" in addition, but of this another time more.
Coco noir so. On parfumo the fragrance notes and statements skimmed. Does not sound like something that corresponds to my Beuteschema, even if I quite Freshies, Fruities, ledriges and creamy-spicy like. However, the vanilla and tonka bean in the fragrance made me curious, as they are among my favorite scents. How well would I smell them out? The bottle also appealed to me immediately as a small packaging victim.

Sprayed on, waited. Puuuhhh, immediately struck me cool, earthy patchouli, mixed with citrus and roses. Not really a nice combo for me, the incense came quickly to it and did not make the first impression better. It smelled - except for the missing aldehydes - very clearly "Coco chanellig". Elegant, classy, classic, chic and timeless, with a certain coolness and superiority, and a slightly pungent accessory. I'd like to reiterate that I don't just have a nose glued to vanilla, I'll give almost any genre a chance, and have been pleasantly surprised many a time. I knew this scent was beautifully composed and the notes fluidly interwoven, but somehow it didn't suit me. Too cool, too adult (or even mature).
Some time later, I kept noticing a feathery, luxurious, cool yet warm scent. Since I had only tested Coco noir that morning and so it could only be this one, I was all the more surprised at how subtle it had become. The patchouli drags almost to the base, but becomes lighter and more pleasant. The rose moves to the background, but still resonates perceptibly, as do the citrus notes. The incense has become a supporting actor.
Directly vanilla I can not name in the drydown, but a pleasant floral creaminess with a touch of spice, really hard to describe.
The bottle is jet black, but the fragrance is not. He is not unfriendly, but still rather distant. With the woman who wears it, there are no third chances, maximum 2, then you blew it and she ignores you completely. She doesn't waste her time with people who aren't worth discussing with.

For me, this perfume exudes all the above attributes, but also a certain strength and reliability. To this fragrance I reach purposefully, it is not long considered. Either it is a Noir Tag or not, there are no compromises, the fragrance does not make either. I wear it when the sun is shining, but also when it is cold and cloudy. In terms of sillage and durability I am very satisfied, 3 sprays accompany me through the day, he does not let me hang and I feel strong and a bit unapproachable.

Coco noir is not a "Mmmhhh, you smell good!" in terms of floral powdery sweet friendliness. It's a strong statement, more of a "Wow, what are you wearing that's great?"
And, what really amazes me: my husband also finds him good, although the fragrance is rather atypical for me. No, not every man is exclusively on vanilla scents. Sometimes it just has to be a boss-lady fragrance. After all, we women are a strong gender.
