Dark Memory - in search of the vanished scent
If the scent were a woman … I would be enchanted by her elegance: Chic in prêt-à-porter attire, unobtrusively quirky. Her wrists are adorned with slender gold bangles, her ears with delicate pearl drops, and her skin in a fine olive tone. Beautiful in a subtly quiet way. Not the woman that a man or woman immediately notices, no femme fatale, no party girl, no diva. The clinking of her bangles when she reaches for her bag, the rustling of the silk of her dress seem to belong to her like the hint of a smile at the corners of her mouth. She is more a still lake than a loud fountain, and that is what she wants to be.
Translated to the scent Coco Noir, this means: It is well-composed, without loud chords and without crescendo, more a nocturne than a symphony. It is not easy to describe, as it is, in a way, perfectly discreet. As if one were entering a room, nicely furnished, comfortably stylish, in the light of a table lamp: Everything is visible, but cast in connecting shadows.
Upon the first spray, for about 30 seconds I thought this would be my next scent. With the disappearance of the fragrance from my skin, that impulse quickly faded. Coco Noir has hardly any sillage and retreats so discreetly that only at a distance of 2 centimeters can the floral-berry bouquet be smelled. Very unfortunate, as that is not what I expect from a fragrance. The base is pleasantly dark-fruity and lasts a long time. Unfortunately, this only comes into play to a limited extent due to the absolutely inadequate projection of this perfume.
I tested the scent with a tester Eau de Parfum. On two days, once in the morning, once in the evening. Such a pity. Really. But a scent that I cannot smell is definitely a scent that is too expensive ;)

I love it so much and can smell it on me all day until the next morning, as long as I haven't gotten used to the scent from wearing it too often. A bit of restraint really fits the elegant description you provided.
