Have you met Coco?
No? Never heard of it? Alright, I’d like to introduce them to you:
Coco is quite a temperamental lady, the age must not be mentioned here, it is only polite. Just a mature lady in her prime Coco is a little bit special, those who don’t know her so well may think she is superficial, shrill and pushy. Yes, well, she always appears a little bit very dolled up, always a little bit too garishly made up, malicious tongues may claim that she has “surely had something done to her face”, the wardrobe is always a little bit too conspicuous and colourful, the skirts a little bit too short, the shoes too high heels.
She appears a little bit poltery, a little bit too loud and tactless, has the talent to always appear at the absolutely wrong time and to say the absolutely wrong thing and to always speak without dot and comma anyway.
But she loves the performance and enjoys it very much when you look and notice her.
She always carries her little doggy around. The puppy is also always wrapped in the most original coats and likes to be carried best, because one could get dirty on the street or other dogs could even be bad. So the little dog is a little bit renounced and a little bit uncontrolled yapper, who comments cheerfully and unconcernedly everything, just like the mistress Coco. It is said so beautifully: Like the Lord, like the Lord, like the grumbler But does that bother you? No, not at all!
Because Coco has a heart of gold and she would sell her own grandmother for the people she has taken to her heart if it mattered. Coco is available to everyone with advice and assistance and would give away her last shirt if someone dear to her were in need.
Of course, such a remarkable person in every respect does not wear a shallow, insipid, commonplace phrase.
The Coco has, appropriately enough, THE favourite scent, which seems to be made for her and which also has the same name by chance.
The Eau de Parfum is Coco’s absolute favourite scent and a great hit. Because it embodies her whole being so perfectly, as if she had sat model for Mr. Polge for inspiration. In addition, Coco has a lot of endurance and projection, in it are warmth, sensuality, sizzling eroticism and the golden heart. And I mean, to see a touch of opium waving around the corner as well.
Fragrances without radiance and staying power are not for Coco and spraying every moment is not possible.
It has a wonderful oriental touch, beautifully warm and spicy and engaging. The spices really kick in right at the beginning, joined by an unbelievable abundance of flowers that can really spread on resins, smoke and balsams.
And there is also a pussycat purring around somewhere, even though Coco is an absolute doggy fool.
The strong fragrance cloud seems to call out “Look out, here’s the coco, clear the way, or I’ll push!” But if it comes across as honest and endearing, you can see past the loud appearance. Behind all the opulence is a great deal of joie de vivre and temperament Coco does not like to sit at home in the corner, Coco wants to go out and generously distribute her energy to her fellow men. Because where Coco is, there is life, there it is not boring, there is laughter and whether it fits or not, that doesn’t matter at all.
For certain occasions, when it really needs to be a little quieter, Coco takes a glass of Eau de Toliette, which is still quite a blast, but is altogether more suitable for everyday use, more withdrawn and dimmed. There are a few other focal points. The EdT appears lighter, more airy and a little bit more fruity. The fiery heart is a bit cooler, it’s more flowery and the purring pussycat doesn’t appear so much. Nevertheless the scent is still expressive enough for Coco.
Compared to the EdT, the EdP is ahead of me, even though the EdT is quite wonderful.
My very big and heartfelt thanks go to 0815abc, who gave me the Vintage EdP ❤️ and to Schwälbchen, who made it possible for me to get to know the EdT ❤️
You’ve got a huge rock in the board with me!
And when I treat myself to a few spritzes of coco, I think of coco and a line from a song “… and after 20 cigarettes my laughter is real again…”
And I’m sure that all of you have taken Coco to your hearts long ago. And being straight is still the best! And Coco EdP works great on men too.
