The top notes of Coco Noir include grapefruit, tart bergamot, and orange, leading to heart notes of rose, geranium, intoxicating patchouli, and enchanting jasmine. Because I am battling hormones from weaning my baby (lack of oxytocin and what not) my husband offered to get me a Chanel to make me happy. I love this perfume however it doesn't last at all maybe an 1hr or so Not sure if some ingridients were taken off , But it's sad that perfumes are smelling cheap and not lasting now a days. And observed it evolve to a shy Allure Sensuelle Edp, which I really love, but sometimesI find too loud for everyday scent- I love the fragrance, but it is overwhelming during the summer. It definitely has some Coco Mademoiselle in the opening, but it's so much spicier and richer that nobody would confuse the two.

It also is quite a mature fragrance and would certainly give you that edge in the boardroom when you want to feel confident in yourself, just don't douse yourself in this.Ending up in Le Chat Noir jazz club just off the Boulevard Saint Germain Coco leans lazily into the crook of the Englishman’s arm.

I've sat on my bottle for a couple of weeks, and I think it's a scent that sticks VERY close to your personal bubble.

After testing it, I can now say I’ve smelled it on many women, and I can definitely say it smells better on them than it does on me.
