Layer king
Cocoon trägt seinen Namen zu Recht: Der Duft fühlt sich an wie ein stiller Rückzugsort – weich und sauber. Beim ersten Sprühstoß begrüßt einen eine kühle, leicht zitrische Frische – nicht spritzig, sondern eher sanft und klar. Grapefruit, Bergamotte, vielleicht ein Hauch Salz.

Nach wenigen Minuten setzt sich das Herz aus Ambroxan, Iris und mineralischen Noten durch. Hier beginnt Cocoon das zu tun, was sein Konzept verspricht: Er zieht sich nicht in den Vordergrund, sondern legt sich fast wie ein transparenter Schleier auf die Haut. Molekular, modern, sauber – aber nie steril. Für mich deshalb eher etwas zum Layern, da der Partnerduft sehr viel intensiver wahrgenommen wird.

In der Basis bleibt Cocoon ruhig und angenehm: leicht holzig, mit einem Hauch Cremigkeit. Kein Drama, kein tiefer Schatten – eher eine sanfte Umarmung aus Cashmeran und Sandelholz, die lange anhält, ohne laut zu werden.

Cocoon ist kein Duft für den großen Auftritt – aber genau das macht ihn interessant fürs Layern.

The seashore cocoon
What do you think a cocoon smells like,
before the magic of metamorphosis occurs?

This is Cocoon, the latest release from Marc Gebauer
and also the brand's first fragrance
that has found its way into my collection.

Cocoon is a molecular-based fragrance.
This means that it is made from synthetic fragrance molecules
such as ambroxan and cashmeran.
It is deliberately minimalist,
when it comes to fragrance notes.

And this is my first impression:

At first you perceive a hint of citrus notes
and a synthetic, beautifully balanced nuance.

an opening that cannot be compared to any other.

This is followed by a fresh, sparkling base...

Carried by cashmeran,
kept cool and elegant,
there is a hint of aquatics in the air,
more like a gentle sea breeze.

a cocoon that condenses in a cool sea area,
artistically realized and yet soothingly enveloping.

Much more intense than you would expect from a molecular fragrance,
thanks to the high concentration.

And the bottle is simply beautiful! Definitely worth a test.

"Cocoon" as soft as silk?
First things first, the name fits this beautiful perfume perfectly. I've been testing it extensively since I got it yesterday and am sharing my impressions with you here:
What dominates here are above all resinous, ambery and slightly smoky notes, which are emphasized by sandalwood and elemi resin and amboxan, but it is by no means only resinous and ambery and smoky - all other notes are perceived in the course of the fragrance development, rather in the background and in harmony with the main notes. One thing this perfume is not is animalistic!!! On the contrary, it is very pleasant and soft.

Warmth sought, irrelevance found
I was expecting a lot from "Cocoon" - the name alone sounded like coziness, warmth and depth. Unfortunately, the fragrance didn't really grab me. It feels rather flat and immature on my skin, almost generic. The composition is not memorable and I miss the special note that would make it unique. It's a shame, because the concept sounded promising.

For me, it remains with this one bottling and that's how it will stay..

Not what I expected..
When I read the name and the ingredients, I thought of something that gently envelops and warms me.

It does that to some extent, but I only feel warm in the last few hours and then only subtly.

Top note reminds me of Megamare without the mega, it also gives this metallic citric but without this overwhelming of Megamare in the drydown the whole thing becomes softer but still well perceptible

After the drydown, a slightly resinous soft freshness remains without much frills, the sillage decreases over time but is still perceptible on my skin even after 10+ hours and a shower

Durability on my skin is a 10/10 and the bottle has also become noticeably more valuable compared to the two Flamingos.

All in all, I find Cocoon to be a great, simple fragrance, even if it is different from what I originally expected.
