“Fur coats, amber candlelight, and baroque Parisian opulence wrapped in spiced florals.”
Released 1984, the founding amber-oriental in Chanel's Coco line — Jacques Polge's launch, the dense amber-rose composition that defines the line. Bulgarian rose and peach at the top, a clove heart, settling on an amber drydown. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening. The most concentrated and intense member of the Coco family.
