COCO expresses the intensity of Gabrielle Chanel's personality and her love of all things baroque. A mysterious, provocative Oriental fragrance that gradually reveals its contrasting notes.
Composition
The Eau de Parfum opens with a citrus note of Sicilian Mandarin. A voluptuous heart of Jasmine Absolute is heightened by touches of Ylang-Ylang from the Comoros and Tunisian Orange Blossom for a captivating harmony that leaves behind a vibrant trail of Indonesian Patchouli, Benzoin and a note of Tonka.
Inspiration
Gabrielle Chanel cultivated the art of paradox. The woman behind an understated, pared-down style that revolutionized women's fashion, she was equally fond of the baroque style, which inspired the decor of her apartment on rue Cambon and her Byzantine jewelry collections. The COCO fragrance, true to her nickname, reveals the whimsical, radiant facet of her fascinating personality in an oriental scent with shimmering hues.
Among the luxurious designer labels, Chanel is one of the most sought-after household names within the high-fashion market. The brand shares its name with the French fashion designer and brand's founder, Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel. It was in 1913 when Coco Chanel opened the doors to her Paris shop for the first time. Arguably one of the most successful ventures during the fashion pioneer's era was the debut of her perfumes in 1921. Chanel released its now-legendary Chanel No 5. which forever changed the fragrance world. The No 5. perfume's uniquely 'abstract' construction combined swirling floral scents of jasmine, lilac, and rose with a generous helping of aldehydes. The fragrance overturned the codes of perfumery with its sparkling champagne-like formula encapsulated within a refined bottle. Today, the entire line of Chanel fragrances shares the same class and elegance of its predecessors.
