Coromandel

by Jacques Polge

Chanel Coromandel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Polge. The fragrance opens with Neroli, Citrus, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Jasmine, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of White Chocolate, Woody, Musk, and Amber.

Our verdict on Coromandel: Acquired

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.

About

Coromandel kicks off with a bright, zesty citrus and neroli burst before settling into a truly unique heart of earthy patchouli, delicate orris and rose. The dry down is where it gets interesting, with a creamy white chocolate blending seamlessly with warm amber, ancient frankincense, and subtle woody notes, creating a sophisticated incense trail that's both comforting and opulent.
