My literature calls this one "Coromandel" (with an "o") and says, "a gentle oriental. Ylang ylang, Jasmin, Roses, and Lemon leaves float on a Cedarwood heart, with hints of Incense, Sandalwood, and Exotic spices."

I had a sniff in the shop and that about sums it up - a warm citrus with a floral air and a woody/spiced base. A pleasant autumn-type scent. But there are better ones in this line for sure!

Angela Flanders has earmarked this one as a unisex scent.

Coramandel is a cedar fragrance which opens with a brief flash of citrus notes and then soft spicy floral (rose, violet) notes emerge to blend in with the cedar base. This is a sweet, well rounded, resinous cedar without any of the potentially sharp, harsh edges cedar is sometimes associated with. The dry down is more in line with SL's Bois series (although only a cousin, not a sibling) than a cedar fragrance like Ginestet's Le Boise, which is considerably smokier, dryer and less sweet. This is definitely a romantic vision of the Coramandel coast in India as one of the centers for the spice trade.
