Eva Longoria might wear it.

- Yes, maybe she would, or maybe Tshajbukoshka is just speculating here.
A few years ago, she watched a fashion show (possibly about models) and a designer shared some insider information.
It was about Eva Longoria and her refusal to do what was expected of her. Moreover, she wouldn’t even be five percent as diva-like as in almost all the roles she had taken on in series and films up to that point.
Designers and stylists: “Eva, this little black dress will look stunning on you. You will look enchanting and elegant at Gala Iksypsilon on Saturday and steal the show from everyone.”
Eva Longoria appeared in a floor-length, colorful dress.

So does Chanel's Coco Noir.
She doesn’t wear a tightly laced, tailored dress. She is young, dynamic, sweet, but not too sweet.
Quite directly, a rose note appears with the citrusy opening, strong, almost diva-like (and I had almost written off Coco Noir because I can’t handle an overdose of diva-like roses), then it becomes more austere and a small bouquet reveals itself, into which the rose gently, almost creamy soft, integrates.
Vanilla joins in, while I only perceive incense on the periphery and not for long.
Towards the end, Coco Noir takes a slight turn towards gourmand, and that’s it.
Just like Eva Longoria, Chanel's Coco Noir has nothing distinctly Oriental for me.

But it is beautiful, despite the pretty packaging and the rumors, it is no diva.

No one claims they wouldn't do that :)). Enjoy wearing it!

I personally don't find "Coco Noir" to be black - more like "mysterious," "enigmatic," etc. That's why I compared it to Eva Longoria's traits (not being a diva and preferring colorful dresses over the "little black dress"), regardless of her background and all the other facets of her personality :)).

I really love the base! The opening is almost too citrusy for me, but then it really picks up over time. ;-) It's definitely not a diva, that's true!

For me, Coco Noir unfortunately smells very similar to Coco Mademoiselle in the base. I like the rest.

It wasn't bad, but it had some off note for me in the drydown. I used to think Eva Longoria was amazing; I always wanted to look like her ;-)

Very well written and to the point.
Right now, with the cooler weather, Coco Noir really shines. It's my favorite at the moment.
