Perfume-Chanel-Coco Parfum

Coco (Parfum) by Chanel starts with a bit aldehyde hinted sweet-spiceness (something alone star anise line), rich, golden, nostalgically pleasing. I guess most people can tell immediately Coco is not a modern scent (like most of the sugary sweet fruit bomb released so fast that I’ve already lost count), it has an old school charm somehow makes me picturing a poster with burlesque dancer from the 30s or 40s.
Soon after, the scent gets warmed up in to this balmy, spice, sweet somewhat gourmand and velvet floral bouquet with spice.
The final dry down is lovely, sweet, tamed (as in less spice) version of the above. Quite a gourmand candy experience!
Marilyn Moore might adored No.5; but to me Coco would be more a versatile yet comfy scent to wear to bed, especially for cooler nights.
However, be warned, I don’t think the majority of 20something guys would appreciate Coco as much as a perfumista does, possibly due to some weird association with an auntie or even someone’s mum.
