Coco Noir

“Just tried a sample at Sephora, the initial opening is so good, citrusy and a bit creamy. However, the drydown gave me the vibe of the "Chanel No.5 Eau Premiere or L'Eau" and I found the sillage and longevity so poor. On my other hand, I have tried the Coco Mademoiselle EDP and it lasted for hours compared to Coco Noir, unfortunately. I had so much higher expectations on that but longevity should have been better. As an initial start, I would recommend having CM and would try the CN for late hours maybe, for a night date etc while the CM is more energetic, youthful and prominent.”

“This perfume smells like a variation of Coco Mademoiselle, they share same DNA, but it is not similar to original Coco EDP. At top it is citrusy and very musky, patchouli is not intense and dirty, it is light and very dry, to the bottom it becomes quite sweet, tonka bean, vanille and sandal are noticeable, slightly spicy and still citrusy. Silage is weak. Longevity is moderate. Citrus ingredients in this perfume have very good quality. I Also liked the base dry down.There is nothing noir about it, rather feels decent and plain. Most sophisticated thing about this perfume is its bottle.”

“Coco Noir is actually Allure edp with spicy sharp tonka ambery undertones. I would actually call this perfume, Allure Noir instead., Both perfumes,Coco Noir and Allure edp by chanel have a similar heart, especially the drydown of Coco Noir is the closest perfume I could find to vintage allure eau de parfum. The resemblance is striking on this latter stage of Coco Noir edition.The opening of Coco Noir is spicy and marginally harsh but it's magical essence is on the drydown exactly due to its close resemblance to allure edp, the vintage one!”
