Coco Chanel Perfume

Coco by Chanel is a fragrance for the confident woman who doesn't mind the extra attention that she would get when she walks into a room. It complements your smart, sexy and feminine side like no other fragrance can.

This is for the young and young at heart. This spicy yet subtle scent is for an evening out, at the opera or to the ball or something equally grand. It may be a little too strong to wear to your workplace, though. But there is no stopping a woman who is absolutely sure of herself, which is what this fragrance is all about.

Coco was one of the leading fashion designers of her times. She lived in an ornate apartment on rue Cambon in Paris where she started a boutique in 1909. She started off by making trendy hats for the fashion aware women in France.

Her style was however practical and the need for freedom of movement was a feature of her fashion. Ostentation was not her forte. She was a non conformist and dared to wear trousers and shirts when heavy clothes were the order of the day. She was the epitome of class. No wonder then that this perfume was launched by the house of Chanel in 1984 to honor the work of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel.

This fragrance is a result of the top note consisting of mandarin, coriander and peach while the middle note consists of Clove, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Mimosa. This oriental composition is what gives a mystic feel to the perfume. The base note is delicate with civet, amber, sandal and vanilla. The mix is not totally different but a clever way to tease your olfactory senses.

The flora-oriental combination has worked for most women and strangely men too, despite being so complex and dominant. The notes start off bold, and slowly seduce you into its soft final layers. Wear this scent and watch the world lose itself to your charms.

Boxed in a shiny black pack with the words Chanel Coco written in gold on the white box. this perfume is definitely glamorous. You'll need only a drop to make all the difference to how you feel. Just spray a little and see your spirits soar.

If you want to be sophisticated and provocative, then this is the fragrance to wear. It is a powerful perfume and hence has to be used sparingly. This perfume is long lasting, has a lot of depth and is perfect for winter and autumn.

Some say that it is too sweet and also a little bland, that mimosa makes the perfume over the top. But for most women Coco is an elixir, something that infuses life into them. There are many perfumes that come and go, but wear Chanel once and you're sure to keep it as a favorite for a long time to come.

It is mesmerizing, gorgeous and refined. Even if you are not the experimental sorts and like to stick to tradition, try expanding your horizons just once with this fragrance. Coco Chanel will definitely not let you down.
