Please note that this opinion is about Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and not the original Coco perfume - that the picture shows. Whilst out doing some Christmas shopping I was offered a free sample spray of Coco Chanel perfume. Upon returning home I thrust my wrist at my husband to get his opinion and mentioned to him that I wouldn't mind a bottle as I quite liked it, knowing that he was shortly going away on business to Bahrain I hoped that if I hinted heavily enough I may wake up on Christmas morning to find a bottle in my stocking. A few weeks passed and I thought no more of it, however, on his return from Bahrain, just before Christmas he came ...  Read the complete review

Chanel Cocoa Eau De Parfum has an extremely sophisticated smell to it. It is very oriental, with a warm, floral, spicy aroma. I like this fragrance as it contains a bit of everything. It does have subtle hints of fruit, but nothing to overpowering. The fragrance has hints of: Tunisian Orange Blossom, Sicilian Mandarin, Damask Rose, Oriental Jasmine, Mimosa from Provence, Ylang-Ylang from the Comoros, Tonka Bean from Brazil and Venezuela, Indonesian Patchouli and Somalian Opoponax. This fragrance is one I prefer to use in winter or for evenings out to restaurants etc. It smells absolutely awful when the weather is hot or if you are going out clubbing and ...  Read the complete review

I probably favour this scent more for sentimental reasons than anything else, so I guess that makes this a biased opinion. The first bottle of perfume I was ever bought by a bloke was Coco de Chanel and I loved it. It's not a light scent, but not heavy or dour either. It's a full scent and quite fruity with it. It is an evening smell rather than a casual scent and reminds me of late nights, wine and coffee (rather than the summer evening type smell that other scents can offer). I would recommend it to anyone and if you want to impress, lads, then buy a bottle of this for your girlfriends. It looks nice on the dresing table too! It ...  Read the complete review

Coco Chanel has been a signature scent to my life. As a child, I remember my Mum and Dad going out for the night on a wave of this perfume, and as a teen, I used to sneak my own dabs of this perfume until my Mum bought me my own bottle one Christmas. Chanel make many luxurious fragrances such as Coco Mademoiselle, and Chanel No 5, but my favourite has always been the Coco Eau De Parfum, and I am sure a lot of this is from the feelings that the scent gave me from being so young. It always made me think of confidence and my Mum looking very elegant, and it always makes me feel this way too. This fragrance was launched in 1984, and my Mum must have ...  Read the complete review

I discovered how marvellous Coco by Chanel smelt on a wild impulse spraying in my local department store. And boy, how I love it now. Whenever I wear it - copiously may I add - I waft the essence of bored rich woman around the vicinity, which seeing as I am only one of those three, is pretty good going. Coco is a warm, sensual scent that seems to last for ages. I must admit a chum who also wears it does whinge that it wears off quickly on her, but maybe she isn't as liberal with the squirter as me. I personally find that all the Chanel scents (5, 19, Allure and Coco) last all day on me, and I promise I don't really attempt to asphyxiate. I ...  Read the complete review
