Chanel Coromandel - The best fragrance ever made?

That is it. My title is the review. Won`t add much else. Just buy Chanel Coromandel (EDT, EDP, Parfum...doesn˙t matter). Even if you won`t like it for some reason, you must have one bottle on your shelf out of pure respect.

And yes, this comes from a male person with over 50 fragrances currently on a shelf (and I could be near 1000 fragrances that has passed through my nostrils). Enjoy this beauty while you are alive.

Take care!

Masterpiece

One of the most beautiful perfume ever. The first time I tried it in beautiful Barcelona, I fell in love. I immediately bought a 200ml bottle.
Coromandel is very sophisticated, unique and classy. The epitome of French perfumery.
The opening is amazing, white chocolate, aldehydes, patchouli, beautiful.
The base is dominated by amber, patchouli, vanilla and woody notes.
I know this perfume is classified as patchouli and I understand that, but Coromandel is the most beautiful amber for me.
Performance is outstanding. Coromandel has strong projection and longevity.
Every time I wear this fragrance I get a compliment.

Elegant patchouli?

To my nose, Coromandel is everything I want a patchouli fragrance from Chanel to be. It always exceeds my expectations when I wear it. It starts very elegant, I can definitely smell the soapy, clean, aldehydic vibe that is typical to Chanel. After that, the amber and a slight bit of patchouli comes into play. The soapiness goes away and it turns into a delicate, warming, sweet but not cloying masterpiece. Slowly, more and more patchouli starts to show. After about 8 hours, there is a beautiful creamy white chocolate - patchouli combo left on my skin. This sensation lasts for at least another 4 hours, thus leaving us with a 12+ hour longevity. The bottle is beautiful, minimalistic and elegant.

Must try for every patchouli and/or Chanel fan! This is a MASTERPIECE.

between opulence and austerity

Initially, Coromandel is nose-prickling, aldehydes, bright and sharp and sour, like a bitter citrus slice of moon on a night when winter is sparingly giving way to spring. It's also brimming with curious camphorous woods and strange subterranean echoes when the first spritz settles on your skin. Soon though, it is inexplicably a dark, floral sprinkle of black pepper atop a mug of palest milky cocoa, smooth and rich and creamy on the tongue, but tinged with that underlying musty bitterness. The strange interplay between those primordial notes and that velvety decadence offers dueling impressions of opulence and austerity; imagine enjoying a delectably elegant beverage…on the damp, cold floor of a mossy limestone cave.

Edt was a masterpiece EDP is fine, but...

I will make it quick. Don't buy it if you don't like the humid, attic, face of patchouli in fragrances. Because it's what Coromandel EDP becomes at the end and you'll not be happy smelling your clothes. I can't put clothes two days in a row when I wear this. That humid earth smell is horrid. And what bothers me the most is that it was not like that at all with the EDT. The EDT was a bliss from start to finish. Edp is an unwanted, unnecessary more mature take on Coromandel. And the end falls flat. I really advise you to wear it for two full days before buying it, because it would be an onerous mistake to make.
