Chanel: Coco, Eau de Parfum

For me Coco Channel is the poor sister fragrance of Coco Mademoiselle! I'm aware that Coco Channel was around ages before Coco Mademoiselle popped into the world and not the other way round but to me Coco is simply nothing special! It just isn't strong enough for me and as soon I put it onto my skin it vanishes into thin air and I can't smell it any more which to me is a total waste of my pennies! The smell (if you quickly inhale) is Oriental and Floral. Top notes: Tunisian Orange Blossom, Sicilian Mandarin. Middle notes: Damask Rose, Oriental Jasmine, Mimosa from Provence, Ylang-Ylang from the Comoros. Base notes: ...  Read the complete review

Oriental-floral, a warm, sensual fragrance. Coco Eau de Toilette is not simply a different concentration, but an olfactory reinterpretation, which is faithful to the spirit and base notes of the original composition. I really love this perfume!!!!!!! Contains the scent of Mandarin, Orange Blosso A smooth composition of baroque flowers, Bulgarian Rose, Indian Jasmine With Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, amid wood and vanilla I think it must be in every womans bag! Just try it and you'll understand the ...  Read the complete review

This Christmas whilst most of you have already got your presents, men usually have left their partners gifts to the last not knowing what to buy, so I decided to share with you my favourite scent in the hope that it may one or two of you out for ideas. **BACKGROUND** Coco Chanel was born in 1884 in France her life was tinged with much sadness, her mother died at the tender age of twelve, her father left soon after leaving Coco’s aunts to raise her, but when she reached the age of seventeen, both her aunts decided it would be best to place her in an orphanage leaving her in the care of nuns. It was at the Aubazine Orphanage that Coco ...  Read the complete review

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

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
