coco noir – blind buy (Page 1) — Perfume Selection Tips for Women — Fragrantica Club

I have worn Coco for many years, in various formulations. I love Coco, and I do not like Coco M. I adore Coco Noir, it does not remind me of Coco M at all. It is a Coco flanker, in the same way that Coco M is a Coco flanker, but it actually reminds me more of

Chanel Allure Sensuelle than Coco M.

It has a beautiful grapefruit opening, and the rose is similar to the rose of Coco. You have to love patchouli to love Coco Noir.

Coco Noir is a beautiful perfume, but one of the qualities that many folks who love Coco Noir will say, is that often it tends to grow on you, the longer you wear it, the more you love it. I loved it from the first sniff, but not as I do now.

I have never worn Coco Noir, and not been complimented. NEVER.

Of course nothing is a safe buy, and we are all different. Half of ghe perfumes recommended on the “safebuy” thread recently were ones someone else absolutely rejected.

I would be really careful taking advice about any perfume from someone that has never owned a bottle, and are basing their opinion on a sample, a sniff, their friend, etc.

I find longevity and silage are decent. Moderate. I have had it for about a year, and it has become one of my favorites. I probably wear it more than Coco, and I have tons of Coco, it would be smarter to use the Coco, but I do love Coco Noir.

the nose has its reasons, that reason knows nothing of.
