(K) a Chanel for beginners
If someone like me, who is a self-confessed gourmand lover, likes a fragrance that couldn't be more dissimilar to a gourmand, then that must mean something. Style(l) and secretly it has crept into my heart and into my collection, this beautiful, cool, graceful and strong Boss-Lady fragrance.
I got Coco Noir as a bottling a few months ago in the course of a swap. I expected me not much, since I did not know the fragrance and with Chanel anyway never warmed up, except with "Chance eau tendre edt". In the meantime came actually still "Allure edp" and the Crowdpleaser par excellence "Coco Mademoiselle" to it, but of this another time more.
Coco noir so. On parfumo the fragrance notes and statements skimmed. Does not sound like something that corresponds to my Beuteschema, even if I quite Freshies, Fruities, ledriges and creamy-spicy like. However, the vanilla and tonka bean in the fragrance made me curious, as they are some of my favorite scents. How well would I smell them out? Also, the bottle immediately appealed to me as a little packaging victim.
Sprayed on, waited. Puuuhhh, immediately cool, earthy patchouli hit me, mixed with citrus and roses. Not really a nice combo for me, the incense came quickly to it and made the first impression also not better. It smelled - except for the missing aldehydes - very definitely "Coco chanellig". Elegant, classy, classic, chic and timeless, with a certain coolness and superiority, and a slightly pungent aftertaste. I'd like to reiterate that I don't just have a nose glued to vanilla, I'll give almost any genre a chance, and have been pleasantly surprised many a time. I knew this scent was beautifully composed and the notes fluidly woven together, but somehow it didn't suit me. Too cool, too adult (or even mature).
Some time later, I kept noticing a feathery, luxurious-smelling scent that was cool yet warm at the same time. Since I had only tested Coco noir that morning and so it could only be this one, I was all the more surprised at how subtle it had become. The patchouli drags almost to the base, but becomes lighter and more pleasant. The rose moves to the background but still resonates perceptibly, as do the citrus notes. The incense has become a supporting actor, but I can still smell out the citrus notes.
Directly vanilla I can not name in the drydown, but a pleasant, floral creaminess with a touch of spice, really hard to describe.
The bottle is jet black, but the fragrance is not. He is not unfriendly, but still rather distant. There are no third chances with the woman who wears it, 2 at most, then you've blown it and she ignores you completely. She doesn't waste her time with people who aren't worth discussing with.
To me, this perfume exudes all of the above attributes, but also a certain strength and reliability. This is a fragrance I reach for with determination, there is no second guessing. Either it's a noir day or it's not, there are no compromises, the fragrance doesn't make them either. I wear it when the sun is shining, but also when it's cold and cloudy. In terms of sillage and durability, I am very satisfied, 3 sprays accompany me through the day, he does not let me hang and I feel strong and a bit unapproachable.
Coco noir is not a "Mmmhhh, you smell good!" in terms of floral powdery sweet friendliness. It's a strong statement, more of a "Wow, what are you wearing that's great?"
And, what really amazes me: my husband likes it too, even though the scent is rather atypical for me. No, not every man is exclusively on vanilla scents. Sometimes it just has to be a boss-lady scent. After all, we women are a strong gender.
