Coco opens with a sharper, somewhat citrusy-spice, and mellows into a heavier, blended (but rosy) floral-spice and finally sinks into vanilla-amber-spice before disappearing. Coco stays spicy and resinous throughout its development. A warm, perfumey floriental for a late fall day. Best to spritz lightly, because the fragrance is strong and could become overwhelming in the sillage department with an overzealous application.
This is a scent for grownups. I would not give this to a little girl who wants to spray on pretty perfume like mommy, nor to a girlish woman who wants to be cute with something light and candy-sweet. Audacious women wear Coco. It is about classic, self-possessed sensuality. My favorite thing is that it connotes strength and charisma without mimicking a man’s cologne. I love that it is both fearless and fiercely feminine.
