Coromandel Chanel 2007 Eau de Toilette

..oh what a pity.
Does anyone still remember that jingle from some TV show? What was it again? I have it in my head today, thanks to Coromandel.
I had my eye on Coromandel for a while, wanting something Chanel-like again, and since there were only good things said about it everywhere + interesting notes, it had to be Coromandel. And thanks to a wonderful Parfumo fairy, it was already in my mailbox today. I couldn't wait and immediately started smelling the bottle in the hallway. Hmm, nice, nice. So I tested it right away. Good thing I hadn't applied anything else.
At first, I am greeted by Chanel-typical aldehydes with fresh, light neroli. Not bad, but unfortunately, it's a short opening. The scent quickly transitions on my skin into a tamed patchouli, brushed with gentle vanilla. I find this quite appealing, an elegant delicate patchouli variant.
And that's it. Nothing more comes, and I am a little disappointed; it's somewhat boring. But there are perfumes that my skin practically absorbs and that don't develop much. Not a big deal, it was nice up to that point.
But then after about 2 hours, it just smells SWEET on my arm, and I mean SWEET in capital letters. Yuck. It's really not nice, cloying sweetness, with none of the elegance left. Slightly nauseating. Quick, quick, wash it off! I do this very rarely, and I didn't expect it here, but it can't be helped. Phew.
In Coromandel's defense (although it probably doesn't need it), I must say that it smells wonderful on my paper scent strip. Fine, harmonious, and the beautiful top and heart notes come out much longer. Hmmm.
Oh man, Coromandel. You smell so fantastic on paper, why not on me?
It seems like it won't work out between us. Okay, okay, it's my fault, I admit it.
Do I dare to try it on my skin again? I didn't plan to scent my bookshelf. When I come into the room in the evening where the scent strip is, I find it pleasantly noticeable. It also reminds me of Fate Woman. Quite different from this afternoon on my arm.
Oh what a pity....oh what a pity!

P.S: Did anyone else notice something similar? I suspect some musk that turns sweet on me and obscures all the other notes.
