Chanel
Coco Noir EDP
“Black velvet over bare shoulders — dressed up, deliberately.”
The darker, more spiced 2012 entry in Chanel's Coco line — Jacques Polge's launch, sitting on the opposite end from Coco Mademoiselle in mood. Grapefruit at the top, a rose heart, settling on a patchouli-sandalwood drydown. A fall and winter evening fragrance.

- ●Dark, sophisticated, and unmistakably Chanel
- ●Rose-patchouli axis is rich without crossing into heavy
- ●Outstanding evening presence
Trade-offs
