Our verdict on Coriandre: Favourite

Coriandre is a polarising, unapologetically '70s green chypre. Definitely not for the gourmand crowd, but if you're after a sophisticated, timeless scent that stands out, this affordable gem might just be your new obsession.

About

Coriandre opens with a bright, crisp burst of aldehydes and fresh coriander, immediately evoking a clean, green, almost soapy sensation. This invigorating start mellows into a heart of delicate rose and iris, underpinned by earthy vetiver and oakmoss. The drydown reveals a subtle, warm musk with hints of civet, blending seamlessly into a sophisticated, aromatic elegance that maintains its fresh appeal.
