I am enchanted .....
and I have to "get ready" ;)
As already mentioned, the name of the fragrance
is likely derived from the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, the "Coromandel Coast."
Once fiercely contested by us Europeans,
it was all about controlling the trade with India.
An important factor were the so-called Coromandel lacquers.
Shellac, which was obtained from tree resin along the coast,
was used for polishing and refining furniture.
In the so-called Coromandel technique (incised color),
the base, such as wood, is coated with pig's blood, raw lacquer, and clay dust.
After polishing, it is treated layer by layer with black or brown lacquer,
then artistically designed,
with gold leaf, oil painting, or however!
Finest Coromandel goods and highly sought after.
Well, I don't smell pig's blood or pine resin,
but India and the scent of that time
certainly fits for me.
There is also quite a similarity to Beige,
as has often been mentioned.
But only in the basic structure,
where Beige ends, Coromandel begins.
Beige is such a deliberately early 2000s scent,
adapted to function and so "over-understatement."
For those who live this story.
Meanwhile, Coromandel has the signs of the times on its side.
For me, this fragrance has a past,
it is 70s, a hippie, a free spirit, yes!
Almost like Woodstock. :D:D
It reminds me, and please don't hit me,
of the young Christine Kaufmann with Tony Curtis. Sophisticated :-)
You immediately smell heaps of patchouli...
but nothing scratchy, all incredibly soft.
It pairs well with incense and just a touch of amber ;)
Warm woodiness becomes increasingly prominent,
mixing beautifully with vanilla creaminess.
This is incredibly fine and plays out in a very narrow range.
As if someone were singing seven octaves in a minute.
A slight sweetness like dark chocolate rises up, and something spicy mixes in.
Clove for sure, maybe also cinnamon,
a bit rum-like and incredibly warm.
Wonderfully fine, elegant, and sensual.
Great sillage, typical patchouli, always briefly diving
to spread the scent veil while passing by,
like a fisherman's net;-)
It's a wonderfully beautiful scent.
Very sensual and absolutely brilliant on men's skin, I speak from
experience ;D

I also find it gorgeous and can't get enough of it :)
The pieces of furniture made with this technique are called Coromandel art, or also skins :D I know that!
I'm diligently saving!!! Hats off to your comment!
