  I’ve just rediscovered a scent that reminds me of my childhood: bare feet, freedom, jumping on wet earth with green herbs. The opening didn’t seem fabulous to me, very earthy, but in a few minutes a fresh, freshly harvested patchouli emerges, with jasmine and lots of valley lily. I don’t perceive other notes, but the vibe of freedom compensates for everything. I like it for rainy afternoons and summer nights. Longevity over 12 hours and wide sillage; I recommend no more than two sprays.

  I loved Coromandel from the very first moment. Who can’t love such a perfect creation? Like Chanel’s works, it screams elegance, glamour and class. I feel all the notes from the start; it’s an aromatic bomb that takes a course. In minutes, sweet citrus, then the richest white chocolate I’ve ever tried, wrapped in herbal and sweet patchouli, opulent benzoin, smoky incense, amber and musk. At the base, roses and white flowers. It’s captivating, hypnotic, bewitching, wonderfully oriental and brings me memories of Guerlain’s Shalimar, although I like Coromandel more. If I had to give it a feminine image, it would be Rita Hayworth dancing with sensuality; it’s a caress for the skin full of sex appeal. Coromandel, you are perfection made perfume.

  If you like Gaultier 2, it has that ambered air. The Chanel one is sweeter. Very rich!!

  Starts with a sparkling citrus note and evolves into an ideal unisex scent for patchouli fans. In Coromandel, it blends with vanilla, white chocolate, woods, and a touch of incense. It’s intense and creamy, yet not heavy; warm and cosy. I think it’s a very luminous version of patchouli and I love it. Although it’s unisex, it sometimes smells masculine, which gives it a sexy vibe on a woman. Compared to Dior’s Patchouli Imperial, it shares the dry-down patchouli, but this one is sweeter and lacks the smoky touch. It feels a bit more intense. The trail is moderate and lasts 7-8 hours on skin, better on clothes. I admit both are elegant, but given the price, I’d struggle to buy the full bottle. Since I like both, I’ll stick with Coromandel for its bright opening and sweetness. Scent 7/10 Longevity 7.5/10 Sillage 6/10 Value for money 5/10 Versatility 8/10 Packaging 6.5/10 Would I buy again? I haven’t bought it yet.

  After a sparkling citrus opening, it develops into a perfect unisex perfume for patchouli lovers. It blends vanilla, white chocolate, woods and a slight incense. It’s intense, creamy and potent, but nothing heavy; warm and cosy. It’s a luminous interpretation of patchouli that I adore. Although it’s unisex, at times it feels masculine and very sexy on a woman. Compared to Dior’s Patchouli Imperial (similar dry down due to the patchouli), it’s sweeter and without the smoky aspect, and slightly more intense. Moderate trail and 7-8 hours duration on skin, more on clothes. Both are elegant, but due to the price, I would find it hard to invest in a full bottle. I stick with Coromandel for its bright opening and sweet spot. Scent 7/10, Longevity 7.5/10, Trail 6/10, Value/Price 5/10, Versatility 8/10. Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy again? I didn’t buy it.

  I’ve been wearing Coromandel for days and I’m impressed by its consistency: it smells the same every day. The opening is bitter, orange peel with earthy patchouli. As it settles, the orange recedes and the patchouli blends with the creaminess and sweetness of white chocolate and resins; that phase is my favourite due to the earth-chocolate contrast. At the end, the chocolate fades and the earthy, ambered, sweet notes dominate. The projection is excellent, lasting days on clothes and up to 24 hours on skin. I suppose the scent persists until you wash. I’ve loved it immensely, but it seems very stately and I don’t feel comfortable in it. I think it’s a unisex scent for formal occasions and cold weather, but thanks to the chocolate, it has a cosy touch that makes it usable daily without being so formal. Pleasant: 8/10 Interesting: 9/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 8/10

  I’ve been wearing Coromandel for days and I’m impressed by its consistency: it smells the same every day. It opens bitter, with orange peel and earthy patchouli. As it settles, the orange yields to the patchouli mixed with the creaminess and sweetness of the white chocolate and the density of the resins. That earth-chocolate phase is my favourite. At the end, the chocolate recedes and highlights the earthy, ambered and sweet notes. The projection is excellent, lasts days on clothes and up to 24 hours on skin. I suppose the scent persists until washed. I loved it, but it seems stately; I think it’s unisex for formal occasions and cold weather, although the white chocolate gives it a cozy touch for daily wear without being too elegant. Pleasant: 8/10, Interesting: 9/10, Versatile: 7/10, Original: 8/10.

  Spectacular patchouli, mediocre performance. It leans towards the feminine side for that classic touch of sweet makeup powder. It feels elegant and refined. If it lasted better, I would have worn it longer, but the enthusiasm fades just like the perfume (4-5 hours and low potency). Au revoir. PS: Others say it lasts longer or they smell it better, so try a small size first; the quality of the patchouli is on another level.

  I’m not usually a fan of white chocolate in perfumes, but here I love it. Coromandel is ambered with a sweet citrus opening, a shy patchouli, a ‘fine’ white chocolate and smoky incense. It doesn’t feel overwhelming to me, although I don’t see myself wearing it daily.

  One of my favourite scents. The star is the patchouli, earthy but not dark or overwhelming, thanks to the white chocolate. It opens with very vivid, sweet, mature citrus. The patchouli is noticeable from the start, present in all phases, especially the heart. The opening is a treat. In the heart, patchouli with white chocolate and resins shine through; I detect a lot of benzoin and amber with an attractive warm, honeyed touch. It ends with an ambered scent where the patchouli isn’t strong but is still noticeable. After extensive use and with a 200ml bottle at 30%, it performs well in projection and longevity. When I bought it, I was confused because I couldn’t smell it after 2-3 hours. I was disappointed and left it for four months, but when I revisited it, I had the same feeling. Since I had already used up the sample, I started using it frequently. People notice it at 6 hours. It might seem like it doesn’t last, but it does. It’s by Chanel, which makes very French, soft, and elegant perfumes, except for Le Lion. I recommend it for all year round except hot days. For those who like this type of scent, there are two similar options where the patchouli shines clean and luminous: Richwood by Xerjoff, which substitutes the chocolate with imperial Mysore sandalwood, but new batches are a disaster in longevity and projection, it costs more, and it smells skin-close within an hour. And Rosendo Mateu’s No. 7, simpler than Coromandel and Richwood. The patchouli comes with vanilla and oud; of the three, I feel the patchouli most here. The other notes are supporting. The oud is very deep, woody, and the vanilla is more present.

  One of my favourites. The star is an earthy patchouli, neither dark nor strident, thanks to the white chocolate. It opens with ripe, sweet citrus; the patchouli is present from the start, especially in the heart. There it blends with the chocolate and the resins emerge: benzoin and amber with a very attractive warm-caramelised touch. In the dry down, the patchouli fades but leaves an amber trail. It performs well, although at first it disappointed me (2-3 hours) and I left it for months. Upon returning, with the grassland worn down, I used it a lot. People smell it at 6 hours. Chanel makes soft and elegant perfumes except for Le Lion. Ideal all year round except in heat. If you like it, try Richwood (Mysore sandalwood, but new batches last little and are expensive) or Rosendo Mateu’s nº7 (simpler, patchouli with vanilla and oud, the latter more present and woody).

  Ultra-luxury patchouli, sophisticated and with great longevity. The projection is moderate, but its elegance lies in the fact that it’s not a beast. Keep children away; this is for men or women with class. Definitive, it’s not a commercial proposal to mass-produce, nor is it challenging. A delight that for those who appreciate scents is a treat. In comparisons with Richwood, they are similar and would be redundant; in terms of taste, in my case, they are tied. But well, this is the one I have, haha.

  Pure luxury patchouli, sophisticated and with brutal longevity. The projection is moderate, but that’s its elegance: it’s not a beast. Keep children away; this is for people with class. It’s neither commercial nor challenging, a delight for aroma lovers, a genuine treat. Compared to Richwood, they tie in my taste, but this is the one I have, haha.
