Minus chocolate, plus patchouli.
I had been warned, after all.
But I do not listen to others on principle. My older Coromandel model (EdT), which I loved for years, but used sparingly, because I have known little patch tolerance in my environment (and also am not a friend of a "too much" of earthy), should be supplemented. Of the royal class, the extrait.
So I expected: The best of patch for cowards and finest Chocolatierkunst.
The Schoki, the Schokiiiiii! And then from Chanel! (If one can afford nothing else from this company, the chocolate must be at least chanellig...)
But it came differently.
Even beforehand, I was told that the extrait shouldn't be so gourmand, but still heavenly. So that did not exactly deter me.
Then - the first encounter!
Yes, clear signs of unsweet, greenish orange, but they don't stay with me for long. Pity, actually, because beautiful.
Slowly approaching my fear opponent. It's starting to get earthy, and slightly spicy. Where is the big Lindor ball when you need it?
I detect smokiness, very mild sweetness, little wood. Of the flowers I can not make out.
After a time of permanently repeated sniffing, the sweet, spicy smoky notes make themselves more noticeable, go with the patch a very gentle, oriental connection. The fear opponent was tamed, thank God.
Now also comes - equally welcomed - a chocolate note. And yes, it is not "mass-produced chocolate", but high end, high cocoa content, noble bitter. Powdery rather than creamy. In combination with the tamed, soft patch a formidable thing.
So I can only sign off that Coromandel Extrait has one special feature besides the general attributes of a pure perfume (expensive, fancy outfit, long-lasting): In contrast to an earlier chocolate advertising just not "Much milk, little cocoa!", but "Much cocoa, soft patch!"
I'm so glad! And you so?
