Potent Beauty

I put a spot of Coco parfum on my wrist and a good 4-5 hours later it is still vividly haunting. After initial wafts of funky citrus, orange blossom hypnotically dominates the other florals. Soon enough they blend and are given a kick by cinnamon and angelica. Coco has a sultry (rather than stanky) take-no-prisoners base, that allows the scent's self-assured loveliness to linger for hours. What a perfume! It’s like being presented with a floral bouquet by a lover, a highly potent act—dining, wining, music and whispered endearments being in the same category. The courting male knows more about female biology than most medical researchers. That's because he’s carrying around that 300-1000 ng/dl of testosterone at all times, which means he has no need of inducements to think about sex. However, over millennia he has observed that females (with only 15-70 ng/dl of testosterone) are usually much less interested in coupling than he. But turn the female mind to the subject, via what we’ve come to call “romance,” and voila! A meeting of bodies is much more likely. Why fresh flowers turn women to mush I don’t know. I am personally defenseless against them, which my husband has discovered to our local florist’s delight. To me it seems an illogical response. Smelling Coco feels like those times he returns with a bouquet of flowers after a rare big tiff. Though we both know what he’s doing, darn it, it’s going to work! Coco is just as irresistible, a triumph of reliable seduction—not of the bald sex variety, like Schiaparelli's Shocking, but of romance.

All Eyes On You

Walk into a room wearing Coco Chanel, all eyes will be on you! It is a lovely perfume that demands attention. It is sexy, chic, and captivating! It is one of my absolute favorites and my first go-to for date night! The scent lingers all night, and you'll leave him wanting more! Ylang Ylang, cinnamon, patchouli, pimento and frankincense brew the perfect storm, while the orange blossom, mandarin orange, honey, Frangipani, and Jasmine calm the winds creating that perfect post-storm aura leaving and unforgettable experience. One spray is all you will need for a night full of alluring, intimate fun.

Intriguing

Chanel Coco is simply stunning. It starts off with a spicy powdery rose and ends in a sweet incense. It is bold, complex, sophisticated, sexy, and long-lasting. I've adored this scent since the 80s when my stylish grandmother wore it. Happily, I've grown into it myself and worn it for the last decade.

The Daredevil

The scent is heavy, luxurious, and spicy. A baroque opulence of velvety roses, coriander, civet, and the finest sandalwood. It opens with an explosion of spices (coriander and cloves) and then sinks into a whirlpool of dark, velvety roses. It’s a kind of Coco Chanel (EDP) on steroids. With this fragrance, you can defy all the adversities of life, daring like no other!

An Old New Love

I’ve been sitting here for half an hour now, completely enchanted......... smiling and happy, I’m thrilled with my new acquisition: an old Coco Parfum
In my 20s, just moved out, no longer living at home with Mom, but in my first apartment. For weeks, Eric Clapton’s "unplugged" was playing, I danced around the apartment........ mostly I slept until noon, then breakfast and off to work. In the evening, going out dancing or to the movies, late-night red wine sessions with colleagues, wheat beer and playing games, just enjoying each other’s company. And on my day off, wandering through perfume shops, trying out new scents, Diesel jeans in every color were a must, black pointed ankle boots and my beloved patent leather coat. I felt so free, so great! And I smelled so damn good, because I wore Coco Eau de Toilette and everything that came in the fragrance line. And recently I read here about another Chanel scent, paraphrased: a fragrance note is definitely confidence - I can sign that!
At some point, I also tried the EdP and was overwhelmed, no, it was too much for me, I can’t say exactly what, but I didn’t like it. And now, after more than 30 years, I’ve arrived at the Extrait. And it smells just like my EdT from back then, with more depth............ heavy, fruity, resinous, wonderfully floral, a bit honey-like, slightly incense-like and right after the first spray, civet, which I usually don’t really like in perfumes and of course it’s sweet, I stay true to myself. Back then, I didn’t know any fragrance notes and I couldn’t have said that patchouli was in it, for me it’s Frutschuli.

I love this scent - it’s kneeling-worthy!
