Jean Couturier Coriandre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1973, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac, Gérard Pelpel, and Jacqueline Couturier. Coriandre opens with Angelica, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Jean Couturier's Coriandre carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.
