Just got this as a 10ml decant from eBay. I paid £23.00 & p&p. It is one of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever had. I am not a perfume analyst, I either would wear it or I wouldn’t. This I...

Unfortunately, Chanel and I never really got along. No. 5 is all aldehydes. Allure smelled wonderful on a stranger in 1999, but smelled annoying and sharp on me. Madamoiselle smells great on my...

Gorgeous woody patchouli. Slightly camphorous and spicy. Good sillage and fairly long-lasting, especially for an EDT.

At first spray, a truly gorgeous scent. Coromandel would have been just about perfect if it weren't for that one sugary sweet, cloying note (chocolate, perhaps?) that dominates all the others. Like...

EDIT: I retested on the back of my forearm and got a strong cedar opening with a dark chocolate patchouli gourmand dry down. IMO it's not milky, but I am not familiar with chocolate gourmand...

Coromandel has a reputation as being a patchouli and white chocolate scent, yet I don't get much patchouli and I get no chocolate. I get a lot of amber. also vanilla or toffee. Warm, cozy, skews...

I am a huge fan of Coco and Coco Mademmoiselle perfumes thus it's no surprise that i fell in love with 'Coromandel'. Apparently they are from the same family/genre of perfumes. That being said, my...

I totally get it now, why my BFF is raving and raving. Chanel Coromandel is mind blowing. I'm in love. It's unlike anything else I've ever smelled. The patchouli is not only earthy, but it's sharp...

This review hurts because I had such high hopes and I love Chanel fragrances so much. Coromandel is a well done beautiful scent, but all that comes through for me is this note of wet moldy earth. I...

Coromandel is a beautiful warm rich amber-wood-patchouli (earthy, rustic, bohemian), but it's sooooo strong! It's too strong for me, especially for a *spray*, and that's my problem with it. Whoa,...

This is a really big frag. Very bold, smoky/ambery with a bit of spice. I can't quite place what it reminds me of, but it was in the 70's and something like a perfume oil I bought at a "smoke"...

If Greta Garbo were a scent, I imagine she would smell like Coromandel. It's dry and milky, earthy and sweet. There is a quiet, stoic exoticism to it, and it's a weird balance of contrasting...

At first attempt, I got warm soft spices like coriander or cardamom with soft wood and a murky greenish note that's slightly off, like body odor, which threw it all off. And there was another note...

I am in love. This is the fragrance I had hoped I'd find in the house of Chanel. Sophisticated, sexy, warm and beautiful. It's patchouli, but where Coco and Coco Mme fail for me, Coromandel...

Coromandel is my go-to comfort scent. I would classify it as a milky-oriental, with its creamy vanilla-chocolate notes, soft spice, and warm woods. It's like curling up wrapped in a golden-brown...

Notes: amber, incense, benzoin and wooden accords.   The fragrance opens with woodsy notes enhanced by resinous and ambery notes. The accord is multifaceted and very well done - the pungent woods...
