Tutu Woman by Milton Lloyd is a well-balanced, affordable tribute to the classic Chanel Coco, offering a warm, spicy, and floral olfactory experience. The opening features a lively burst of citrus and fresh spices that can feel harsh or soapy at first, but mellows into a smooth, powdery, and slightly vanilla-tinged heart. Over time, the scent develops into a rich, complex blend of rose, jasmine, clove, and woody notes, with a quiet, elegant drydown that carries a balsamic, slightly resinous warmth. It is particularly favored in colder months and by those who appreciate a refined, vintage-inspired feminine fragrance. While its longevity is moderate and sillage is only moderate to strong, many users report satisfactory results, especially when reapplying. The perfumer is praised for crafting a dupe that not only captures the essence of vintage Coco but also enhances it in some aspects, making it feel more interesting and higher in quality than the current reformulated Chanel version.
