Chanel Coromandel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Polge. Coromandel opens with Citrus, Bitter Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Orris, and dries down to a base of White Chocolate, Woody, Musk, and Vanilla. Chanel's Coromandel carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

About

Coromandel opens with a bright, fleeting whisper of citrus, quickly giving way to an earthy, almost moist patchouli heart, woven beautifully with creamy orris and delicate florals. As it settles, a sweet, velvety white chocolate note emerges, harmonising with warm vanilla, benzoin, and a mystic haze of incense and woody undertones. It’s a sophisticated dance between light and dark, sweet and earthy.
