Coromandel Parfum

Coromandel Parfum by Chanel presents a more concentrated and refined evolution of the original scent, emphasizing depth and luxury. The opening retains a hint of citrus, but with less sharpness than the EdP, steering toward a dark, resinous, and smoky character. The heart centers on rich, earthy patchouli intertwined with orris and jasmine, leading to a deeply textured dry down dominated by benzoin, labdanum, olibanum, and a subtle, well-integrated white chocolate sweetness. It lacks the gourmand vanilla and musky elements of the EdP, making it less sweet and more focused on incense, amber, and leather-like nuances. The Parfum version offers exceptional longevity and a moderate to strong sillage, making it suitable for evening wear. While praised for its sophisticated depth and luxurious quality, some note a diminished gourmandcy and a shift away from the softer, sweet aesthetic of the original EdP.
