Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, if divisive, Chanel masterpiece. You either get it or you don't - those who do fall madly in love with its rich, complex character, while others are left scratching their heads, or worse, running for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy.
Coromandel is a divisive masterpiece: some find it an elegant, clean patchouli with a gourmand twist, while others get a damp, mouldy blast. It's either an addictive, sophisticated experience or a hard pass, often smelling 'dated' or too 'religious' for some.
