Chanel Coco Noir Eau De Parfum

Chanel Coco Noir Eau de Parfum was introduced in 2012 and composed by Jacques Polge in collaboration with Christopher Sheldrake. This sophisticated scent is a modern, more mysterious evolution of the original Coco, embracing a darker, more sensual interpretation of oriental elegance. It’s a fragrance that celebrates the allure of the night—bold, velvety, and intimately refined.

The opening is crisp and luminous, featuring grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot, and a subtle hint of orange. The grapefruit provides a zesty, slightly bitter sparkle, while bergamot adds a fresh, floral-citrus brightness. This luminous start is understated but sophisticated, setting a refined tone that transitions smoothly into deeper territory.

At the heart, Coco Noir unveils a floral-spicy core with notes of rose, narcissus, geranium, jasmine, and peach. The rose is rich and full-bodied, offering velvety elegance, while jasmine lends a silky white floral radiance. Narcissus and geranium inject a green, slightly peppery complexity, and peach contributes a soft, juicy sweetness that smooths the composition into a luxurious floral blend.

The base is sumptuous and enveloping, featuring patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense, tonka bean, white musk, vanilla, cloves, and benzoin. Patchouli dominates with its dark, earthy character, enhanced by the resinous warmth of frankincense and benzoin. Vanilla and tonka bean lend creamy sweetness, while cloves add a spicy edge. Sandalwood and musk ensure a smooth, lingering drydown that stays close to the skin, exuding elegance and mystery.
