Les Exclusifs de Chanel Coromandel

Boring, dated, muddy smelling. The grade of patchouli is several notches below Profumum Roma. PASS ON THIS ONE, its trash.

کوروماندل از اون عطراست که خودم خیلی دوست ندارم استفاده اش کنم اما بوییدن‌اش از سمت دیگران برام خوشاینده شروع عطر با فضا ای شیرین هست که مرکبات یه جورایی توش گُم شدن و گل ها هم هنوز سر و کله‌شون پیدا نشده نُت شکلات سفید برای من یک تصویر درست ای از آب شدن شکلات سفید در دهان رو ساخت که اون طعم و بافت چرب و کره ای رو داره و خبری از اون بوی شکلات های قهوه ای رنگ و اون بوی گرم و خوشمزه نیست و بیشتر شبیه جویدن یک تکه کره توی دهان هست این بوی چرب و کره ای با پچولی و گل ها ترکیب میشه ا رز و یاس که توی عطر کار شده اند،وجه گلی رو به نمایش می‌گذراند هرچند حضورشون کاملا مکمل و حامی هست و نقش پررنگِ مستقل و انفرادی ندارن شروع تا میانه های عطر برام مثل یک عود مدرن و شیرین بود که رگه های ظریف گلی داره و با پچولی قدرت گرفته از میانه های داستان هم شیرینی عطر کنترل میشه به واسطه‌ی میدان داری پچولی و نت های رزینی؛و این اتفاق در جهت سلیقه‌ی من بود که یک تلخی از جنس چوب و دود هم پیدا میشه پچولی هم با گذشت زمان قوی تر میشه و اون بوی گزنده و کمی خاکی رو به نمایش می‌گذاره ***************** scent:7/10 longevity:7.5/10 sillage:7.5/10 purchase value:?/10 ******* overall:7.3/10

good opening but the drydown feels like an old lady fragrance :(

A white chocolate cypher. A vanilla/white chocolate scented muscle cream /tiger balm. My feeble human mind could not perceive anything such as this existing, a herbal white chocolate goodness with an underside of patchouli and a dash of dusty amber. Smells like happiness and serenity, like a lemon balm and my grandmother making lemon cream cakes in the kitchen next door. It's surprisingly cozy, but also somewhat annoying at times when patchouli takes over and the minty mold accord pops up. If they softened the patchouli it'd be a loveable scent, but otherwise it's just a like for me. I am however grateful, as this is a scent that I haven't encountered before. I didn't think white chocolate was truly a possible scent note to produce.

The opening citrus is very brief, but excellent and quickly gives way to a very pleasant and earthy patchouli. There is a light chocolate note supporting this, but the patchouli is the dominant note, slightly vegetal, very soul like. Benzoin , vanilla, and iris come together to create a very creamy base (likely with sandalwood) to support this, and outlast the patchouli a dominant note to create a very rich and resinous dry down with slight spiciness from incense. The earthy patchouli facet was completely unexpected when I saw the breakdowns, but is incredibly well done and very enjoyable. This one hits well above where I thought it was and is just an incredibly pleasant and long lasting experience.

Oh Coromandel, you are a masterpiece! Rich, alluring, mysterious, and capable of instantly raising my spirits and my confidence. I instantly feel glamorous when I put this on…like a pre-Hayes Code seductress from an old black and white poised to shock audiences just a tiny bit while drawing them in with glossy, lacquered fingernail and Marcel fingerwave bob. I saved up for over a year to buy this (it is expensive for this poor teacher!) but I’ve never fallen so deeply in love with a scent in my life. I have both the perfume and this and love both even though they do differ a bit on my skin. God bless Jacques Polge and the House of Chanel. Chef’s kiss!

Coromandel Chanel: The Height of Sophistication While it’s officially marketed as a fragrance for women, to me, it feels completely unisex. This is not a casual, everyday scent. It’s a rich, ambery oriental fragrance for formal occasions or whenever you’re dressing up. I personally imagine this matching perfectly with darker clothes; it doesn’t really fit with light colors or relaxed, loose clothing. It’s elegant and definitely geared toward a more mature audience, likely those in their 30s or 40s and above. The scent itself is very complex, featuring a heavy base of: Patchouli & Chocolate: This is a famous combination, but Chanel brings it to its maximum level of sophistication. Balsamic & Incensy: You really feel the frankincense and benzoin, which add a beautiful warmth. Earthy Drydown: The way it settles on the skin is earthy and refined. If you are looking for a patchouli genre that screams "elegance," this is it. Rating: 7.5/10 (A sophisticated, formal classic for mature tastes.)

I own the edt and it’s a dream. It has a clearer feel to it than the edp, it’s more distinctive and original. I’m normally not into sweet or vanilla-heavy scents but it’s one of my all time favourites. Heaven. The edp is good but not fantastic, I would never buy it for the currant price which I find outrageous.

My favorite winter combo. Coromandel pare with Angel. Both are match made in heaven !

Finally a non-BDC that I can get behind. I don't care if its for women. This is an absolute masterpiece of a fragrance. The blend is on point with Le Lion, Le Pausa, and 1957, and the powder that I love so much is there too, but its not in the forefront. It offers excellent performance as well! I only applied 3 sprays and was in a scent bubble for about 5 hours.The price is insane, and I normally don't spend over $150 for a bottle, but I am going to make an exception on this one. 9/10

It reminds me of church candles / wax. In a very good way! This is actually one of the very few smokey or incense fragrances I actually LOVE. Listen, I can't stand Chanel no. 5, because to me it's too heavy, headache inducingly medicinal and overly mature and pesky. I can totally relate to individuals who swear by 5, but my nose isn't made for it. It drags me down. And so many smokey fragrances just make me want to run away. - but not this one! It's balanced, it's a soft alluring call, inviting and mysterious, it's comforting and memorable. The benzoin and olibanum are pleasantly prominent. And it doesn't have that overly mature kick like some Chanel scents tend to have. Feels like Christmas. Not similar to Angel! I hate Angel, love Coromandel.

A luxurious patchouli, smoky vanilla, topped by bright citrus & floral notes. It's warm and luxurious, more suitable for winter and fall. I agree with the commenter below saying that it smells like "Christmas in Paris"... it truly gives me that vibe. Anyway, it's a good perfume, but somewhat nondescript. It lacks a defining or distinctive feature. But honestly that's what Chanel is aiming for, a "luxurious" smelling perfume that's mass appealing, with their Les Exclusifs line. P.S: Chanel needs to use different testing strips. The ones they're using right now absorb 95% of the perfume, I can barely smell anything after 10 minutes of spraying.

Coromandel has a beautiful, elegant opening: this warm, high class aroma gradually envelopes you. Whilst wood and incense are dominant, there is a mixture of orange-led citruses sitting gently on top along with a hint of patchouli. Half an hour later you can detect other notes if you smell very carefully. Down at the base, the sweetness of the benzoin, vanilla and white chocolate take the edge off the incense and the patchouli. Some rose comes through on careful inspection. There's some musk as well. The incense feels less like smoke and more like frankincense. This is well balanced. There is a moderate - strong sillage at this point. One hour in and the wood and incense remain the dominant theme. There are still faint citruses but the rose-led florals have a distinct foothold underneath the patchouli. There is a lovely hint of vanilla and white chocolate that sits alongside the benzoin in the base. Two hours in the citruses are very faint and the florals are quiet. The vanilla-chocolate combination is weaker. The wood and the incense continue to dominate. The sillage is moderate. It remains like this for the duration. It takes a very long time to fade away. I get a good twelve hours and then some from it. Is it worth the price? Well, it definitely has the quality, no question there. I think it justifies its price but if I were buying one from the Exclusifs line I would sooner pick Sycamore or Beige before Coromandel. However, if you want a lovely elegant perfume for the colder weather then this deserves consideration. Both men and women can carry this one off: it's a truly genderless perfume.

An absolutely beautiful execution of patchouli and amber with chocolate and incense Personal: 8.5/10 – Rich, cozy, and slightly sweet. I really enjoy the chocolate-patchouli vibe, and the dark amber is beautiful. Though, I find the white florals a bit overbearing. Nonetheless, I really like it. Mass appeal: 7.5/10 – Warm, sweet, and elegant enough to win compliments, though patchouli is always polarizing. Performance: 8/10 – Strong longevity and moderate-to-heavy projection. One of the better performers from Chanel’s higher-end line. Value: 6.5/10 – Chanel’s Les Exclusifs pricing is steep. The quality is there, but it’s still a lot for a DNA that others have executed in cheaper bottles. That said, it's still a beautiful execution. Uniqueness: 7.5/10 – Sweet, ambered patchouli isn’t rare, but Coromandel’s smoothness and polish give it a distinct identity, typical of what we see with most of Chanel's releases. SCORE: 76/100 Full bottle buy? YES, I could actually see myself wearing this regularly in cooler weather. Blind buy? NO, patchouli is divisive, and at this price, sampling is a must. Recommend? YES, if you enjoy patchouli or want a luxury level, polished ambery patchouli. Date night? YES, cozy, rich, and elegant. A very romantic option for formal settings. Office safe? NO, it’s too heavy and resinous for a professional setting, unless it's the dead of winter and the heat is broken. Pros: Rich ambery patchouli warmth, excellent blending, cozy and elegant feel. Supremely smooth. Cons: Expensive, patchouli is divisive, not truly groundbreaking despite the hype (or the price). Coromandel is one of the most hyped fragrances in Chanel’s Les Exclusifs line, and I understand why. It’s an ambery, slightly chocolatey, dark patchouli fragrance with gorgeous woods and florals wrapping it in an uplifting freshness. Despite being a women's fragrance, I actually would wear this and enjoy it in colder weather, and it's a great, relatively unisex fragrance that *almost* justified its steep price. Patchouli isn't for everyone though, and you should sample before diving head first into an expensive bottle like this one. It’s beautiful, cozy, and luxurious. Easily one of the best patchouli blends I've smelled, and probably the best one Chanel has released, even if it isn't entirely groundbreaking. Review #153 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant

It smells similar to Angel but with an approachable patchouli. Also smells similar to coco mademoiselle intense on the dry down. The opening has some sort of citrus lemony smell that reminds me of n5. Overall it’s like a mix of a lot of other Chanel fragrances made into one, but it somehow works good together. I love it

Coromandel EDP is a classy patchouli fragrance! The opening is citrusy soft spicy like Chanel DNA and it dries down to this elegant earthy patchouli with a hint of white chocolate maybe it's the effect of vanilla mixed with patchouli! But to be honest I don't smell amber whatsoever, The longevity is about 6 to 7 hours maximum and it projects only the first 2 hours and then it becomes a skin scent, But I wish if the performance was stronger because it's high priced, though I really appreciate this fragrance.

Earthy patchouli softened in light chocolate with vanilla warmth; smoky incense adds mystery but gently. Gorgeous wearable velvety amber. Feels "timeless" like a winter stroll in a thick sweater. Serge Lutens' Borneo 1834 (dark chocolate patchouli) or Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur (warmer musk) are what I've found to remind me. I am lucky to have an old bottle from 2010, and the citrus is still crisp. On a snowy day with my favorite book, this keeps me company.

This is an absolutely stunning fragrance. It's difficult to even begin trying to explain what it smells like. I don't think anyone can properly explain it looking at all the reviews here which all describe it completely different. This and TF Tobacco Vanille are my two personal favourites.

Les Exclusifs de Chanel is a line that I have been coveting for years and finally I bought Coromandel. This fragrance is pure magic to me. It's more than just a fragrance as it marks a transition from one era to another. Coromandel is a grown woman. Beautiful, sensual and quietly confident. I don't get much citrus in the opening. Instead I immediately smell a spicy, resinous warmth with the amber and patchouli. I also detect the insence but it's not overpowering. As it dries down it becomes slightly sweeter but I definitely wouldn't describe this as a sweet fragrance. A man could certainly wear this. There's vanilla, aldehydes and a clean muskiness which balances the orris so well. The white chocolate is there but it's so subtle. It lends the fragrance a sensual silky smoothness which to my nose is irresistible. Coromandel makes me feel elevated, elegant and refined. It is the very embodiment of the phrase 'money talks but wealth whispers'.

This smells incredibly like funeral flowers to me, specifically Anthurium, which is a widely used funeral flower in my country. I really wanted to like it, but I don't see myself wearing this in any occasion. The drydown is tolerable, warm, slightly sweet, floral, and ambery. I'll give it a chance in a few months and see if it gets any better after maceration.

Beautiful. My new favourite 😻

The fragrance is refined, deep, very well constructed — quite perverse, challenging. There is a lot of warmth here, with low resins, but also certain brightness.

Déjà vu! I once got Bvlgari's Magnolia Sensuel which is amazing but when I got Chanel's Cristalle Eau Verte and realised (to my astonishment) that it is magnolia-based, I finally understood that it was "magnolia made right": transparent, crispy, white, pure, absolutely safe to wear outside (which I did). They're both good but Chanel's version is much more wearable outside. The same happened with Coromandel: at first I thought it smells benzoin (which I like a lot) and also leather but seeing patchouli as a prominent note I realised: yes, I do have two patchouli scents that have a very strong chocolate-like patchouli notes which was a bit terrifying at first but I grew to like them over time. And now, smelling Coromandel really has the same patchouli but it is "patchouli made right" again: it's wearable (outside among people, not only at home), it's modest and rounded enough. But for my nose this very nice version of patchouli still smells like leather (or a mixture of sweet patchouli and leather) and I like that. Very nicely done! Even though I don't smell it much on my shirt, only on my hand -- but shirts are different so time will tell more. What I don't understand is their after-market price: why so high? I don't really see that it's that special among other Chanel scents but maybe it's discontinued, that's why.

All the perfumes in this line have the same DNA, which is a lot of ingredients softly blended together so that none in particular stand out. That being said, best way I can describe this perfume is that it opens up with dusty spices and amber and then dries down into this mossy, cool-toned, fine baby powder base that is very addictive. The powders in this fragrance are not harsh and don't overwhelm the nose. They are very soft and subtle. Smell: 10 out of 10 Strength: 8 out of 10 Unisex, leaning feminine For reference, I'm female.

This is literally a patchouli based fragrance, so not sure why everyone is moaning about the patchouli. And it's so well-blended with the Iris, which makes it soooo smooth. It smells very similar to Diptyque Tempo, which is a favourite of mine and in both of these fragrances, the patchouli is what makes it so beast mode. I just got a 75ml bottle for a banger price on a resale website, otherwise I would never pay the asking price. It's unconstitutionally expensive. So if you can't afford this, but love the DNA, I recommend you try Tempo by Diptyque. It just has violet instead of iris, bringing in the smooth powdery facets, and it doesn't have the vanilla and white chocolate elements.

Idk anything about this scent or its clone but i've heard a lot about clone that named (VITO FLOOD EXTRAIT DI PARFUM 75ML) they say it is the best clone out there. Good luck finding it in your country

(Review of the original EdT) Gourmand is not my thing. I typically will take a pass on anything gourmand, particularly if it goes down the sweetened chocolate route. Cue Coromandel EdT to provide the exception. The opening notes of bitter orange, or perhaps orange blossom, is inspired. It sits so elegantly and effortlessly over the white chocolate heart and base to convince you that you are smelling some light beautiful French confection out of a local cafe. That white chocolate accord is what is most interesting, though. Really a combination of the most restrained and relaxed, pleasantly sweet, and mildly-earthy patchouli, benzoin, and vanilla, it invites you into its depths of comfort and calories without any hint of guilt or shame to follow. Effortlessly breathable, light, charismatic, warm, inviting, and everything in between, while also being pleasantly sweet and sumptuous, makes this one of the best gourmands I have experienced and have had the pleasure of wearing.

This is just wowww, love a first sniff Tried Le Lion along with this but just fell in love with this more than that it had some animal smoky touch to it which i didn’t really enjoy but thisss wow le lion is like darker version of Coromandel This could be my favourite chanel and take over BDC parfum which is my current fav Chanel And it’s my favourite designer along side with TF noir extreme This is so alluring, lemony freshness and patchouli which i don’t always like here it is so so creamy and smooth . It has some fizzy effervescent quality to it with powdery iris and woody creamy base of vanilla and white chocolate makes is super smooth and creamy buttery this is pure luxury it’s sexy high class Smells wealthy rich, very expensive Can be worn all year around light scent profile but strong longevity totally unisex though Signature scent worthy 10/10 Definitely getting a bottle

It absolutely has a mold smell lol I still like it…..but maybe I shouldn’t….i said to myself…this smells really “earthy” …..but when I read “mold” it absolutely has a mold accord!”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wore this when watching the Godfather once so every time I wear it I think of Italian weddings and betrayal
