A glorious Venus inspired oriental from its creator Jacques Polge.
This is an emotive, mysterious, sage of a fragrance, very beautiful with depth,splendour and vibes of wisdom!
I find this to have comforting warm and transcending qualities that evoke serenity and security, making me feel content. Like a hug from a loved one or a cosy luxurious cashmere wrap. It has an appealing luxe quality-the spices here Cloves, Cinnamon & Amber give depth and character. The Sandlewood and Tonka bean along with sweet nuances of Peach, Jasmine, Bulgarian Rose, Mandarin orange and blossom, soft Mimosa,Vanilla and a touch of civet, all are blended masterfully to perfection!
This is for a confident woman who stands True & firm to who she is!
Soft, gentle affectionate, and elegant and also strong and courageous! (I might add here PS-that I think a man could wear this! It does lean towards being a unisex fragrance! Although my husband begs to differ! For those guys that do love this! I think just go for it!!)
This is the best oriental I’ve ever tried thus far- it is not skanky, musky, heavy, cloying, dark, gothic, witchy, churchy/Insency, hippy like or earthy!
It is wonderfully balanced retaining the essence of a true oriental without having to ‘scream it from the rooftops’ like some powerhouses out there! In some cases rendering them trashy! This however is a class act! CCT Is sophisticated because the blend has been thoughtfully and masterfully orchestrated.
This is smooth mesmerising and dreamy- I love to wear this! I like how the sweetness is subtle and not overdone. I find this relaxing -it is a solace to me.
Unlike the edp! which I find too heavy and have always shyed away from! (Although have never actually owned a bottle.) As I found her a tad intimidating like many of the eighties gems! – Enter the edt the modern version! She is the silk scarf compared to the Mohair shawl! Both beautiful in their own rights! Just different! The edt is timeless reserved and alluring!
I would wear this around the clock, anytime,any Occassion, rain, hail or shine! She is my go to, Now my signature<3

Coco EDT is my “go” scent at any season for day and evening activities. People tell me that´s dificult to carry this perfume. I would agree with this opinion, relating to EDP, because the animalic notes (Civet) in this one are really heavy. I can not wear it on spring/summer during the day light, for example.
But EDT is another story. This Version is more gentle than the EDP, without losing its potency and “core DNA”. The animalic notes in the EDT are reduced to a minimum Level. The stars here are the ambery spices enveloped by a honey rose. It´s sweeter, more versatile and modern than the EDP, carrying still the same class, exuberance and opulence.
It´s impressive how I receive so many compliments, when I wear it.
Coco is definitely a strong scent that empowers a Woman!
MASTERPIECE from Chanel!
xaitauer – :
I have the EDT which I must have brought home in the late 80’s or early 90s when I had little kids running about and I wanted something nice for a rare evening out. Well, 30 years later I still have it! I got so busy with work and family that I became a soap and water type. But NOW, they have all flown the coop and, among other things, I am interested in fragrance again. I’m a little bit surprised that I had such a good EDT all these years. It is nicer than anything else I’ve been recently trying, mainly vintages from Ebay. It doesn’t have a lot of nostalgia for me, no connections with my childhood and my mom or grandmother, but the smell is transporting. I think everyone here knows how it is. I only wish I didn’t have the spray spritzing about and could just dab it on sparingly, it has quite a bit of power, but it is oh so nice.
I think I like it better than anything else, so far. I may decide to bring my fragrance quest to an end.
oue714Diobtetty – :
Summary: Tested one spray. It’s good and I am enjoying it. I feel like I am wearing a comforting and well-behaved sister of vintage Opium.
Will need to test again to see if this is a “really like” or a “I MUST BUY THIS”. Also must compare this one to the EdP.
To be honest, if it were cheaper I would have bought it right away 🙂
—
This is very, very beautiful, perfectly balanced, classy without feeling dated or over the top.
If you don’t spray a lot, this is perfectly office-safe and public transportation safe.
This is what the amber spice modern scents aspire to be. This is not a “statement” fragrance but a scent that achieves perfect balance without being bland/boring or losing personality.
Warm, comforting like a soft soft blanket or a massage, sweet but not too sweet, spicy but not too spicy. Just right.
(Also: I think this one is more up my alley then Chanel no 5 EdP, though I would like to own both)
greensmile – :
The most beautifully warm spicy perfume that could ever exist. It is exciting and high energy, exudes pure feminine power, sophistication and authority. Coco is an enticing woman with intelligence and class. An absolute masterpiece.

Ohhh that incredible moment you change the fragrance from “want” to “have” shelf…
I got this beauty last week and have been wearing it everyday.
I wanted a new warm fragrance with personality for the winter and this was on my want list so… I prepared my wallet and went for it.
We all know how great and unique this one smells and know it’s just a hole “vibe”.
Good thing I bought the 100ml because I find myself in the need to re-apply in the middle of the day. I’m very disappointed with the longevity… it’s a freaking COCO!!!
Shame on you CHANEL. I own other EDTs from the brand and they all have better longevity than this one has, sad.
Find a pre-reformulation version if you can.
dianov – :
lasts forever!
VlaZim – :
God it’s gorgeous. Even on me, a guy. I keep getting whiffs of it. Ok I only sprayed it an hour ago but still it’s heavenly. Nor am I finding I get so used to it that I forget it. With nearly all my other fragrances my nose gets used to it after a few days and I can’t smell it any more. However Coco has so many facets that it never gets stale for me. I bought my bottle off EBay. I am guessing it’s a vintage bottle as the juice is an amber colour rather than the current paler juice I see advertised online. That is my real fear that the current reformulation wont match my current version. I will pick up a used modern version from EBay before I commit serious cash on something possibly weaker.
What do I like? It’s the smooth spicy yet comforting mix. I can not identify mandarin or peach or other fruits. It’s a smooth blend for me. Just like No 5 where I cannot pick out a single note. Coco is of a piece for me. In Tom Fords Noir Pour Femme (yes yes it’s another woman’s perfume – I have never cared about gendered perfumes, if I like it I wear it). In Noir I can pick out the vanilla, the kulfi accord, the rose.
However in Coco nope. It’s just one lovely ride with oncoming waves of smooth spicy fruit. Boy does it last too. It has the best longevity of any edt I have ever used. I do own a bottle of both the edp and the extrait, both from EBay. I find the edp a bit skanky and a very different beast entirely. The extrait is different again. Light and floral with no real projection at all unlike the knockout No 5 extrait.
Last year I raved over No. 5. This year I am raving over Coco. I do think Coco is more male friendly. It is rarer too. I have not smelled it on many people, only on one woman in my social circle and never in the street.
To be fair I can sense that my vintage juice might not be that good a fit for this decade. It maybe a bit too fruity for it’s own good and a cleaner more clove centered reformulation might be more modern? I shall find out soon as I am down to less than an inch in my second hand 100ml bottle. Fingers crossed. I will report back here when I pick up a bottle.
kolodin – :
Love coco. I wore the EDP for years (one or two sprays lasts all day and on the clothes forever. I recently purchased the EDT / never thought I would say this- but I prefer it. It is stronger to my nose actually! And less sweet. But deeper. I wear coco to sleep most nights. And a walk-through mist during the day in the spring. Yoi have to be careful to dose this one correctly. Good news because a bottle lasts forever.
okt1302 – :
This was my first love. I couldn’t afford the EDP which I heard was better, but this suited the Autumnal weather I was facing. Whenever I felt down, sad or depressed, this helped. It was warm, sensual and relaxing.
A Chinese sales assistant mentioned that it smells of a Buddhist temple which she didnt like. To me, it smells of strength. Whether you be a man, woman or child. When I went to Chanel in my youth, they gave me 5 4mL minis to take home with me when I tested it. They thought it was so cute. I nursed those bottles, but never wore them. It was magical.
It’s a clove, peach & cinammon love affair. Perfect, to me, for any weather. It’s as close to a signature scent as I’ll ever get. I truly love it, and the bottle. Elegance.
uldar12345 – :
The first Chanel I’ve liked from the first spray. It settles into a warm, spicy fragrance. It smells very classy. It reminds me of Mitsouko but softer, and less smoky. I like it but I’m not sure spicy perfumes are my thing. I love the sophisticated black of the bottle, and the way it sprays. If I was going to buy this it would definitely be in the EDT form, as it would be too intense otherwise.
stalker 8889 – :
Oriental scent, warm, rather for cold weather. Unfortunately, spicy scents are not my cup of tea. At first it was definitely too intense for me, but drydown is very nice.
vitus – :
This has been reformulated. This used to be the signature perfume of my mother, my aunt, and myself. All the women in our family smelled like this. It was nice to have something like that that bonded us together. Now it smells completely different and its a boring bland scent. It used to be spicy, floral, and powdery. Now its just cheap and blah. So sad.
Evgen67 – :
I’ve debated for so long whether to buy the EDT or EDP, but thanks to your reviews, I am the more than happy owner of the EDT (current formulation). Just wish it came in the prettier flacon. This topples Halston Classic for Women from my top shelf. Yes, I love over-the-top spicy Old School power frags.
Not many reviewers have mentioned the strong mandarin and orange blossom opening, but it was very discernible to my nose. Very realistic. Sweet, but not cloying. I grew up with a citrus grower Dad so believe me when I say that Chanel should be congratulated for introducing such a beautifully natural smelling opening. Now that I’ve experienced such a classy citrus in Coco EDT, other citrus based fragrances seem very strange and artificial. The opening lasted about half an hour.
As so many of you have mentiined though, Coco EDT is all about the spices. On my skin the Rose is pretty much subsumed by the cloves. Then there is the very strong yet beautifully balanced coriander, laudanum, sandalwood, Opoponax etc etc. Gosh, how many spicy notes can one fragrance take! It’s not for the shy this one, but Coco EDT is a masterpiece in my book. I’ve also bought the shower gel, but won’t be inflicting too much Coco on the public. I’ll leave the layering and overly zealous spraying to stay at home days. You know what though, I feel like selfishly keeping this one to myself. The rest of the world can keep No.5.

The classical “elixir”, but this is not as gorgeous, fine, or beautiful as Coco Chanel EdP, but instead quite/ a little bit manly, to me. Fresh & unisex.

Fragrance Review For Coco
The Eau de Toilette
Chanel
Top Notes
Coriander Mandarin Orange Peach Jasmine Bulgarian Rose
Middle Notes
Mimosa Cloves Orange Blossom Clover Rose
Base Notes
Labdanum Amber Sandalwood Tonka Opoponax Civet Vanilla
A warm winter fragrance!
Coco the Eau de Toilette is a softer lighter concentration of the parfum. There have been comparisons to Krizia Teatro Alla Scala and Fendi. Unlike either of those perfumes, Coco EDT is not the 1980s fragrant bomb some of us remember. Instead we are treated to a subtle spicy amber perfume, with warm vanilla and musk, florals and citrus. This is definitely working it’s magic charm on me. This is a perfect December through February winter time Oriental fragrance. The classic Chanel signature is all over this from start to finish. Elegant, sophisticated, unisex, Coco stands tall as one of the most gorgeous Chanel fragrance classics right up there with No. 5. The Eau de Toilette is available along with the Eau de Parfum at most Macy’s stores.
The opening of this perfume is an orange and a rose. This is a sweet mandarin, fresh and perfumy; not unlike the opening to the Coco Eau de Parfum or No. 5 with citruses being the aldehyde replacement here. The sweet citrus is also enhanced with orange blossom and mimosa. Both these yellow florals/white florals are citrusy in and of themselves. The citric and mimosa goodness is also reminiscent of the opening to Coco Mademoiselle. A brilliant citrus champagne opening.
After the citrus subsides, the heart is revealed and it’s a subtle floral – Bulgarian rose and jasmine. Usually rose and jasmine can come off as intensely floral in most other fragrances. Here the rose and jasmine are well blended and delicate, soapy, and lovely. The scent is feminine at this point, evocative of a woman’s floral soap. This edition is bigger on the rose note as well. I love roses and enjoy it in perfumery so not a problem for me. The flowers eventually fade and the spices and cloves come through.
The cloves are noticeable, spicy and long lasting, with all the other ingredients mixing well with them. The sandalwood, amber, vanilla and musk are all in the dry down and smell superb. The vanilla is gorgeous – powdery but creamy, with amber serving as a kind of resin holding everything together. The musk can be unisex and there is more incense in this edition. The incense comes in the form of opoponax and this smokiness is missing in the Eau de Parfum. The EDP reformulation is very powdery and super soapy, cleaner than this spicier muskier juice.
Coco is a Christmas and wintery perfume to wear with hats, gloves, coats, scarves, leathers, and jackets, boots, your winter wardrobe. This has a European air, very French, very chic, and is less saucy and more sedate than the EDP vintage original. This lasts a long time and has decent projection/sillage. It’s one of my favorite Chanel fragrances. Coco and No. 22 are my top favs. This makes a great Christmas pressent and should last you the whole winter. I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful Christmas present.
Thank you Coco and Merry Christmas
asell – :
Smelled this on a friend of a friend and had to ask her what she was wearing. It was so rich, warm, and alluring. The clove note was intriguing on a woman. Which when combined with an animalic note was really sexy and yet strong and sophisticated at the same time.
This is a great scent. Very dense presence.
maryat – :
A review of the current formulation eau de toilette: I used to wear Coco EDP as my signature in the ’90s as a teenager. The current eau de toilette reminds me much more of the EDP that I wore back then than the current EDP does. The main difference between this and the vintage, just from my memory, is that it’s missing the enormous mandarin note from the 90s formula and some of the rose.
Coco is the quintessential holiday season scent to me, like a Medieval European Christmas court festival. I used to wear this in the snowy New England winters and it permiated the furry trim on the sleeves my winter coat. It’s an extremely warm and pervasive scent, so much that it can be oppresive. It’s a positive eugenol bomb in the opening notes, and it must be worn sparingly. Coco is the smell of a Christmas pomander: dried orange studded with spicy hot cloves and rolled in a creamy, warm nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon blend. It gets a little bit of lipstick and high heels vavoom from the rose and coriander, but they’re subtle. I actually can’t believe we all used to wear scents like this one and Obsession and Opium so easily — they’re so intense to me now that I find them hard to wear. But of all the 80s and 90s oriental powerhouses, I definitely find this one the most elegant and wearable. It’s creamy and smooth and lovely.
I have tried the current EDP a few times, and even bought a bottle. I ended up selling it because something in it disturbed me — it was so warm it was downright muggy, and there was a note in there that was a bit like burning dust from turning on an old heater, or an old ashtray. The EDT formulation is warm, not muggy, and the spices are hot and burning, not ashy and spent.
muRdoc – :
Like previous reviewers I’d say smooth is a good word to describe Coco Edt. I found an older full well preserved bottle for an excellent deal and now it’s mine❤️ I’ve never even sampled it but read reviews and went vintage,it’s lovely! Not too spicy or sweet,,,just right!
So pleased to add to my collection. Next up I’m giving Chance edp another go with a decant. Wish me luck!
This works better on my clothes..I’m afraid most Chanel’s do..lol
Laslo – :
Coco EDT is smooth, sweet and spicy.
To me it smells mainly of smooth tonka, sandalwood and has a load of cloves.
While the EDP is musky, skanky, amber, clove and strong florals.
This brings back great memories for me and I love both the edt and edp.
Overall a very warm, classy oriental, has heaps of cloves which i love and i think the slight spiciness is from the coriander.
I have never actually owned this before but i think its time i did.
KeP_2007 – :
Oh Coco, you are truly queen of the eighties. Your shoulder pads, electric blue eyeliner and fierce cheekbones are second to none. Spicy yes, plummy yes, sensuous yes, but mainly….mainly you just make me feel I should be dressed like one red-lipsticked ‘Addicted to Love’ girls.
A great frag with the added bonus of olfactory teleportation to the decade of my youth.
greykov – :
We probably all know that person in our life that is so into the exclusive-more-expensive-than-my-rent perfume they think even Chanel perfumes are too ‘mild’ /lightweight for them. I have one name for them all: pretentious.
Especially this divine potion , aka Coco eau de toilette, is far from ordinary. I am so delighted I decided to buy this perfume! I doubted whether to purchase the EDP or EDT , normally I always go for the edp since edt’s don’t last on me unfortunately. But I had a good testing experience that proved otherwise and the chance to buy it for a good price, so hop the edt went in my basket.
Excited as I was when it arrived, I quickly put one spritz on my hand. Had to leave immediately for work but experienced during the day that one spray already gives great sillage and also longetivity would suggest it’s an eau de parfum. Coco edt vibes something classy, not old! it radiates strength, confidence, but all in a soothing way. It smells luxurious and will be liked by all generations, maybe not to wear for themselves, but definitely appreciated when someone around them wears it. This timeless fragrance makes me feel like a million dollars and I predict my perfume shelf will never be missing a bottle of this in the future again.
31031983 – :
Definitely one of my all time favorites. I purchased my first full bottle this year, a 50mL bottle and will be getting a 100mL bottle just because I can’t bare to think of not having some of this beauty on hand.
Intensive peach, clove & sandalwood fragrance. lasts roughly 7-8 hours on my skin, which most fragrances of any brand or quality is yet to do for me. A keeper, a true legend. It doesn’t exactly remind me of anyone I know and I rarely smell it on other people. It does, however, definitely remind me of the 80s. A beautiful woman with a lot of make up, all dressed in loud reds/ blacks/ greens. An evolutionary Chanel fragrance for a person with a purpose.
I’m a 21 year old male who prefers the more mature fragrances. This definitely isn’t what i would consider to be an ‘old person’ scent, I reserve that term for ‘Georgio Beverly Hills’ (which I also love)
Scent 10/10
Longevity 9.5/10
Sillage 8/10
Individuality 10/10
Wyatttk – :
The Orange Blossom, Cloves and Tonka really come to the fore and stay around for 18+ hours in the Coco EDT. The longevity of this fragrance is incredible. It brings to mind Mimosas, Lapsang Souchong tea, Pomanders and Mince tarts after Christmas Mass in an incense laden Basilica. It never fails to enchant.
sergynia1985 – :
Almost the same with estee lauder beatiful but less sweeter and more on aldehydes and a bit powdery.
ivanliakh – :
I WENT TO THE STORE YESTERDAY AND SPRAYED THIS TOILETTE ON MY WRISTS ,IT WAS ON TILL THE LATE NITE WHEN I WASHED IT OFF THE LASTING POWER IS AMAZING. I LOVE THIS.
ON ME THIS PERFUME SMELLS SPICY AND OF AMBER I LOVE IT.
rike85 – :
This scent reminds me of my mother, since she always wore this before leaving to go to work, to dinner parties, etc. It’s comforting, cozy, sensual, and at the same time gives confidence to the wearer. I decided to purchase the EDT for myself, and the scent brings so many good memories and comfort.
On my skin, I can definitely pick out the cloves, as well as the mix of roses, which all notes together make this scent so gorgeous and lovely.
TotoAntip – :
I don’t even know what to say about this beauty. I bought the EDT because the EDP is too strong for me. On first spray, I get a strong rose/floral but that settles quickly into – geez how do I describe? – warm spicy, peachy, vanilla goodness. It’s a complicated scent with no note outdoing the other. At times I get apple cider spicy cinnamon tonka bean loveliness. I don’t know. The first time I wore this i was overwhelmed by cloves, but the second time I could not stop smelling my skin. This is heaven! I love the dry down. This warms up on the skin so nicely. This is sexy and cozy at the same time. And it lasts forever on me. Love!
severen80 – :
I tested yesterday Coco EDT and I have to agree with other people that think they are similar, what came to my mind after few minutes?, voila! Hermes 24 Faubourg!!! however Hermes is less spicy and rosy, both are lovely fragrances, must have imo, hands down Coco EDT <3
nct590speagoessenda – :
Autumn, a rather cold and gloomy day and a spray of eau de toilette on my wrist greets me with explosion of cloves that immediately makes me think of mulled wine 🙂
There’s a peach and mandarin orange too, and a touch of civet.
I’m hoping the journey will continue to be just as special as the day continues and with it, the smell will evolve.
Sarawerhuqtaq – :
I had both the EDT and EDP at the same time. I feel almost guilty admitting I preferred the EDT! Does this mean I am not sophisticated!? They are both absolutely gorgeous but the EDT gave me more of a lift.
vyasor – :
Softer, less heady, and younger smelling than the EDP. I strongly dislike to EDP, but really like the EDT. Go figure. It’s warm, a little balsamic but not too much, with more of the vanilla/tonka. Where I spray it matters too; inside the wrists is more vanilla/tonka; on hair is completely balsamic.
Rinajeampinue – :
I just got a bottle from Sephora online after reading reviews here. I had the 1980s EDP which was a powerhouse, and I wanted something softer. This is softer. I love it, but the staying power of this current EDT is poor. The old EDP was definitely an evening perfume. This is any time, but reapply.
xxq551bedyWelty – :
Smells like the vintage (1980s) Opium Edt, only softer and less complex. Make no mistake though, because in today’s standards Coco Edt is everything RIGHT and everything beyond your dreams…
This for me was love at first smell, and I believe we’ll never say goodbye to each other. I will be definitely buying back-up bottles whenever I can.
A few years ago I had tested Coco Edp but I wasn’t so impressed. (I guess the case was a reformulation, God knows what batch.) But this, and today, is the thing what you would expect from Coco . I was so impressed I did not even feel the need to test the edp again (to see how it is doing today), I was totally intoxicated and transported to another realm the moment the scent hit my nostrils, I actually lost my appetite for everything else around!
Coco Edt is oriental, exotic, spicy, flowery, fruity, sweet, ambery, woody, all at the same time; it’s a super mix. And I can definitely envisage Coco Chanel’s apartment in Paris smelling like this, which is the very inspiration behind the perfume!
I also cannot thank enough to my aunt, who had given up an almost full bottle of Opium -finding it I guess too strong for her tastes- giving it to me to play in early 1990s. How else could I know how Opium smelled back then and fall in love with Coco today!
The timing in my life for this new scent is also definitely apt 🙂
* Summary: I don’t believe you can go wrong with Coco Edt if you remotely like orientals.
rzy374bedyWelty – :
This is my go to fragrance! I own Coco mademoiselle, coco, and no 5 and this is by far my favorite one! I don’t find that this one is a “night” scent or a “winter” scent, I wear it every day whether its 100 degrees or if I’m just running errands. I layer it with the Coco moisturizing body lotion and the scent lasts all day and even the next day too I still smell traces of it. For just being a toilette, the sillage is enormous and longevity is better than some perfumes I own. I always get complimented when I wear this perfume, in fact I was out to lunch today and the waiter said “you smell so good what are you wearing?”. I am 20 and this is my every day perfume and I hope to get my hands on the eau de parfum soon.
gennadii1945 – :
Vintage coco edt is an all round occasion… If you can find a bottle in good shape. Teatro alla scalla edt is a close 2nd with oriental light spicyness. Coco has the real mysore sandalwood that just glows. It is comforting and the opponax is like a rich warm hug.The opening fruit and floral are always just right when you need to smell good and put together. The modern is thinner and more vanilla. Men love it
Appoisyrils – :
My friend found a splash bottle of this from the 80s for me. It’s the EDT and it is so good! I love even the current reformulation, but this is so much stronger, richer, and beautiful. There is nothing like this scent, a true 80s powerhouse that has stood the test of time. I feel this is very unisex and can be safely worn by a man or woman with confidence.
Gorinich92 – :
No scent will ever make me feel more sophisticated or sexier than this rich and beautiful fragrance. I don’t wear it often, but since my early 20s, it is my forever scent.
fedorchenko.tolya – :
I can’t add much to these reviews except for a tip: This fragrance seems like one that’s mainly for evenings or cool weather, but do also try it on hot sultry days because…
I had a lovely and surprising experience of doing this with Coco EDT this past Summer. It was delicious in the humid heat, which I had not expected at all. The clove phase burnt off sooner, leaving a strong, sweet, tasteful and very long-lasting scent.
Now that it’s Winter where I live, I find myself less attracted to using Coco, as I miss that effect! Suddenly it feels like a more serious fragrance, with the sweetness not evolving in quite the same way.
So give it a try, northern hemisphere and equatorial folk :).
kardelino – :
I was trying it during rather hot and wet weather and I liked it (but not loved it).
It is very spicy, the rose and peach notes make it lovely, the ovewhelming sandalwood brings back the feel of the 80´s.
Unlike the EDP, it did not last long (!?), almost disappeared after one hour, and the silage did not impress me.
Overall: 6/10
haikolo – :
In 1992, 19-year-old me was enticed by Vanessa Paradis as the black bird in a cage to Coco Edp. It was my first proper perfume, my signature… I used soap & body lotion as well. Buying those left me very broke back then but the experience was priceless.
A quarter century and hundreds of fragrances later, I’m still (or even more deeply) in love with her.
Coco is sexy, fearless & wise.
I personally think this scent suits Mademoiselle Chanel herself more than No.5.
I own both Edp & Edt. I enjoy them equally.
Edp is more rose-y and resinous. Intensive labdanum makes it sweet & warm. I prefer Edp for cooler days or night time.
Edt is lighter, spicier and woodier. Clover ( or carnation?) and opoponax are more obvious. I like wearing it at work / daytime / in warmer days.
I live in Wet Tropics and believe me, Coco blooms and glows in warm climate.
Most “oriental” scents are from tropical climate. So, I think they smell natural in warm air.

Coco Chanel Uniqueness! another Masterpiece..if you like Spices cloves Honey and something that’s inviting. Wrap yourself in this Beauty.. Wow what can I say about
Jacques Polges extraordaire of Enticingly sexy and sensous unforgettable scents like Diva Ungaro Bleu de Chanel Egoiste and Cristalle to name a few! Coco de Chanel is like a dream come true..on a class of its OWN..EDP or edt sillage and longetivity is not overwhelming it stays on your clothes like chocolate ice cream melting and honey being poured onto your skin like a winter in The Movie 9½ weeks definitely Kim Basinger must’ve been this Coco for Mickey Rourke at that time. Who doesn’t love Chanel Hall of famers of fragrances!

weter18011987 – :
A timeless classic with a lighter touch than the EDP.
It’s mostly spicy and woody to me, I can sense cloves intensively. There’s also sandalwood and amber. I like it and what I like the most is, that it smells natural spicy to me (if that makes any sense).
It would be a great thing to have around and use sometimes, but if I would have to choose, I would choose Chance line over it.
Still, a good one, not too heavy and not too light either. It doesn’t bother me, that it’s only EDT.
ANVARD2020 – :
I love this fragrance. People who say this is “an old lady perfume” as if that’s a bad thing are just boring and can’t appreciate the finer things in life. It’s opulent richness, spicy, sexy and, for me, nearly perfect. I have worn this since I was 24 years old and I don’t ever want to stop. If you want to FEEL expensive, this is where to go.
Pawa66 – :
A scent of pink and orange colors, a tiny bit reminiscent of Chanel Mademoiselle but far more luxurious and more sophisticated with roses, mimosa and clover that come forth from a base of musk and vanilla. This is nothing like the original vintage parfum Coco, but more a fancy youthful version of the scent with less emphasis on the incense type notes. This smells so good and so pretty. It’s a lady like fragrance and evokes a woman who has time enough to smell the roses and has roses in her home. I smelled this on a lot of women during my stay in Paris for Fashion Week. Must be a popular fragrance. Tasteful, sweet, heady, romantic, and a class act.
