Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum (1984) is a luxurious and opulent Oriental Spicy fragrance for women, often described as an expression of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's love for the rich, dramatic Baroque aesthetic, which contrasted with her famous minimalist fashion designs.

Here is a breakdown of its key characteristics:

Scent Profile

It is a complex and highly layered scent:

• Top Notes: The fragrance opens with a bright, spicy introduction of Bulgarian Rose, Coriander, and Mandarin Orange, lifted by a touch of Peach and Jasmine.

• Heart Notes: The core of the fragrance is a warm, enveloping blend of rich spices, dominated by Cloves, alongside a floral bouquet of Rose, Orange Blossom, and Mimosa. The intense clove note is very characteristic of this scent.

• Base Notes: It settles into a deep, velvety, and long-lasting foundation of Amber, Sandalwood, Opoponax (a sweet resin), Tonka Bean, and Vanilla, giving it its classic Oriental warmth.

Character and Impression

• Vibe: Classic, dramatic, sophisticated, and mature. It evokes a sense of gilded luxury, a grand velvet curtain, or an evening in a luxurious setting.

• Best for: It is traditionally viewed as an evening or cold-weather fragrance due to its intensity and warmth.

• Perfumer: It was created by Chanel's in-house perfumer, Jacques Polge.
