I’m down to my last 2 bottles of this. Too bad Yves Rocher discontinued this and has a limited selection of fragrances due no doubt to new laws related to ingredients! What can I do? Probably purchase and hand blend/experiment really until the right ratio of fragrance oils smells like this blend of what I detect as Patchouli, Vetiver, Vanilla and perhaps a touch of Amber to create the scented illusion of Cocoa and Vanilla with Parchouli and Vetiver receding in the drydown!

A wonderful fragrantican sent me a partial mini bottle of this discontinued beauty to try. It’s AMAZING. How was it ever discontinued? I can see why it’s the holy grail of Yves Rocher scents. Straight pure slightly bitter chocolate patchouli and it’s not super sweet. It smells very botanical and not super synthetic which is one of the great things about YR scents. Their oils smell very organic and natural. I’m not sure I’m willing to pay what these are going for but I do think YR needs to bring this back! I find a little consolation in Mugler Angel Muse, it’s the only scent I own that even faintly resembles this
replicae95945 – :
Many years after this came out and both my sister and I wore it often I am still completely confused by its discontinuation. My sister purchased for me what I think was the last bottle of it sold in Canada. By all accounts it was a very popular, beloved fragrance that was certainly making good money for Yves Rocher. It is, by far, one of the finest, highest quality fragrances ever branded and sold by by Yves Rocher. All I can think of to explain what may have happened with Cocoon was a misstep in marketing to the company’s demographics. Comme Une Evidence is YR’s powerhouse, legendary perfume. Its chypre rose and jasmine bottled in pink embody the smell of beautiful, put-together French women who dream of Paris, and live in Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines. Cocoon is far more Bayonne in Basque. If only Cocoon had been born to Parfums et Senteurs du Pays Basque, we could have loved it more many many many more years.

I had it, it was nice, but not my table, so I gave it away.

I recently have had some inquiries about this little gem, and I realized I’ve never done a review yet. I have a tad too many perfumes at the moment..and most of them I love..so it’s hard to review everything. But I will say, that I’ve had this in a big bottle forever now.. it’s ancient, really. I still have it not because I don’t like it, cause I love it.. but for a Yves Roches, it’s seriously strong! That’s the first thing i’ll say and the best thing about it IMO. one spritz and you’re set for the night! Yes, night— i’ would definitely put this into night wear category. As for the scent itself…it’s stunning. I get a LOT of cocoa from this obviously.. vanilla..and very strong IMO is the patchouli, but I don’t see others getting strong patch like I do. But that’s why I love it! This wouldn’t be the same without the patchouli. it would be like a lot of other frags out there.. nothing amazing. I get a little green in the opening, and it just settles so nicely into the most divine cocoa. an earthy, natural cocoa –if that makes sense. sweet, warm. and fresh at the same time. It’s kind of a paradox. The cocoa in this is somewhat comparable to Chocolovers, or an Al Rehab. And the closest thing I’ve found to this is Vanilla Noire from this line.. but none of those have the unique vibe and sentimental value to me like this one. Very simple set of notes, yes ..but it’s simple perfection. And I’ve always loved the bottle. fits the scent very well. I will say, howvever, that I’ve never understood the name. It’s kinda silly … Cocoon is just a strange word lol. It’s a beauty..and I’d never part with it. My bottle, which I’ve had about 06, still has at least 40% left. so I still have many years to enjoy this lovely scent. It’s going to suck when I run out… as I see bottles on eBay now for about 200$. Sheesh!
povorobog – :
To me this smells like a chocolate cake, one that has been forgotten and got a bit dry and stale. Kind of cozy and totally gourmand.
darklord4646 – :
As a heads-up, I usually dislike patchouli. Neonatura Cocoon is amazing though! Its patchouli is earthy but light, enveloping yet ethereal, smells more like wet soil after rain than say Angel’s dirty/spicy interpretation of the patchouli accord.
I can only smell a bit of cocoa to sweeten the patchouli.
I have also sampled Chanel Coromandel EDP (another glorious perfume) but found Neonatura Cocoon an even better execution of the same theme. Too bad it’s now very hard to find.
SKIP1234 – :
It said it was made with vanilla, so I bought it. It smells very heady! Smells like the patchouli is overwhelming.
gwv480JeomiWogkig – :
This used to be my winter signature fragrance. I have a cocoon that’s about 85% full now and I only spray it on whenever I want to feel extra special on a cold day. I agree that this little cocoon should be brought back.
denkomoza – :
I adore this fragrance, and can’t believe it’s been discontinued. It smells like powdered cocoa and vanilla, grounded by a subtle, earthy patchouli. Very relaxing and cozy – I love to spray it on before bed, or when I’m feeling stressed. Thank God I still have some left. It was so inexpensive years ago, I should have stocked up! Yves Rocher should bring this one back.
Coiblerouri – :
Neonatura cocoon reminds me angel of Thierry mugler,I know it’s just me,because angel is all about patchouli,dark cocoa combo on my skin,very slightly sweetened by other notes and almost unisex!
Neonatura cocoon also is a mixture of bitter chocolate,cacao and patchouli slightly sweetened by vanilla but I like this one much more than angel or any other cacao scent I’ve tested til now,it’s warm,deep,delicious but also mature and not very sweet,I usually can’t get along well with patchouli dominated scents but here,vanilla softens patchouli in a good way,as it dries down,bitterness moves and I can detect a hazelnut note which I die for
Yves rocher has many great underrated fragrances and this one is one of them,I’m really happy to own a bottle bc it’s really hard to find
❤❤❤❤
Edit:bottle is really easy to place in hand and it’s very longlasting and has great sillage,call me crazy but it reminds me chanel coromandel even more than angel,and there is a major difference among their pice tags
avers – :
Such a perfectly balanced patchouli miracle, a land of plenty of its own : a deep, quiet forest to nestle in (a cocoon, yes indeed), with a soft puff of elegant cocoa – dolce ma non troppo… Abracadabra.
I honestly am no Yves Rocher fan, but this is boho-tiful… Superb !
lgksaga – :
the best gourmet perfume ever.. I’m so sad that it’s discontinued .. please bring it back..
a lot of praise when I wear it and once my sister said with your fragrance … all I want to do is to have a cup of coffee and eat you at the same time.. LOL
tusiaa – :
I can’t describe how much I love this scent. It is my 1970’s youth in a bottle. It is utterly disappointing that Yves Rocher stopped making it, especially when you see the prices it fetches on sites like Ebay etc…
If you are looking to get rid of yours. I am your buyer. =)

I miss this scent quite badly. I had it and used to get compliments on it, very soothing scent. To me it’s totally unisex though, even the most masculine of men could wear this. I started to branch out to more floral/gourmand, feminine scents, so I gave it away to a guy friend who loved it…this was just a few months before I found out it got discontinued and I realized the mistake I made. It smells like cocoa powder and bourbon vanilla with patchouli. The patchouli is earthy, but laidback. Tamed by cocoa, dry, a little bitter. Sweetened with vanilla. It had a hint of something else I couldn’t make out (sandalwood?). I wore it from spring to fall, never liked wearing this in the cold months…too dry. The chocolate note is more noticeable when the air is not too cold. It had complimented my boho-chic style perfectly. Cocoon was my stepping stone to Angel. Whenever I long for this scent, I like to liberally spray Angel on my scarf, then put it away. A couple days later I would retrieve it and get a lovely patchouli-cocoa waft from it reminiscent of my old friend Cocoon.
d44kw13 – :
I miss this perfume so much!! I remember smelling a sample when I was about 10 and I thought it smelled so earthy and warm. It’s still burned into my brain as one of my favorite perfumes of all time. 🙁 why Yves Rocher why!!
тито – :
I bought a Cocoon mini mainly to test for SL’s Borneo 1894, since both have similar note pyramids and were compared several times. This fragrance smells very true to its notes: lots of earthy/medicinal patchouli dusted all over with cacao powder. I smell no sweetness from vanilla, but its creaminess is there to blend out the bitter edge of the dark chocolate just a little bit. Cocoon is warm, but the lack of solid base notes makes it have no depth. The longevity is okay (6hrs) but sillage is close to skin.
Overall to me this is an interesting fragrance with a strong “indie” vibe. But I won’t say this is a bottle you have to dig your pocket for. As much as I love patchouli I prefer my perfumes to smell a little bit more complex than just patchouli and cacao, and I didn’t know that before I tested Cocoon. So I’m glad to have a mini to refer to every now and then 🙂
zomba – :
Why, oh why, oh why Yves Rocher? Why have stopped making this?!
Yves Rocher fragrances rarely impress me- most of them are too over the top, white floral, or too bright- I like my perfumes sexy, sultry, woodsy, and oriental, when the latter is done right. Neonatura Cocoon was, for me, the exception- it was all the aforementioned good things, yet still managed to be on the delicate side. Both the perfume and the perfume solid were delicious, and I would still be wearing it if they still made it.
If you’re a perfume lover, or have trouble finding scents that are both sweet & musky but not overpoweing, it would be well worth buying a decant or the odd ebay auction bottle, because it simply is that good- but it runs expensive by the bottle (well over a $100), and is a bit like torture, given that you’ll only ever be able to use a spritz for very special occassions. But it is sweet torture, nonetheless.
The closes thing Yves Rocher has to it is their Vanilla Noire. I haven’t really found anything too comparable anywhere else, but I keep scanning the reviews to see if anyone else has. It’s only downside it that it doesn’t have the greatest staying power, and layering it can take it from that uniquely delicate scent to overpowering.
yhe736JeomiWogkig – :
Warm spicy dry powdery bittersweet chocolate patchouli with a little sweet vanilla. Very sexy male scent. Wow! Maybe it works also for woman, but i find it rather masculin. My husband smells amazing with this.
ensuddyerenue – :
I have worn this for years, it is very much a winter scent. Hot cocoa and vanilla and spices. Without exception, when I go into a store wearing this, people–both men and women–will follow me and ask what that incredible perfume is. It clings to your clothes and makes you feel just plain GOOD. A comfort scent for me, it reminds me of going ice skating with my brothers when I was young, and we would come home all cold and smelling of snow and ice, and Mom would have hot chocolate for us. Memories–yes. This is why I wear a scent–not for anyone else, but for what it does for me.
sexykiska – :
My favorite cacao perfume. It’s fresh, airy, green, yet warm. Beautiful and natural. I guess if you were expecting a sweet, milk chocolate bomb, you were hugely let down (check out Angel Taste of Fragrance). Thankfully for me this is perfect “chocolate” fragrance. I do not feel juvenile when wearing this. Neonatura cocoon is a dark cacao scent, sexy and cool.
zub1 – :
I very happily put this perfume on my ‘had’list today, even if I sold it for less than I paid for it. Quite honestly, I do not understand the hype about Neonatura Cocoon. It smells vile, agressive, chemical, there is nothing natural about it. To me it is more repelling than cocooning. The patchouli is not bad, but that chemical cocoa just kills it for me.
LaptevaNM – :
I cannot wait to try this fragrance! Need to save up for it…hopefully soon.

A very generous and lovely Fragantican sent a partial bottle of this to me, I just received it yesterday. It is a quite cool Spring day today and Cocoon is just perfect for it. I am a dark chocoholic and this gorgeous edp brings some of the best truffles that I’ve eaten to mind (yum!) It is so earthy and encompassing. I will be treasuring every single drop. I love it.
WhiteBear – :
ETA: If you love this but have difficulty finding it, try ALKEMIA’s PATCHOULI CACAO! It’s so similar but richer and inexpensive!
This does have a strong opening similarity to Boyfriend, but w/ a more dank patch note. As in, this one could have been patch leaves that stayed wet too long and the edges are just starting to get iffy. Also a cool, damp tone to this where Boyfriend is warm and slightly smoky-sweet. I’m preferred BF to this one until recently, when I got bored with the not quite top notch resins in BF… meanwhile my appreciation for Cocoon has increased quite a bit as my olfactory journey has progressed. Cocoon reminds me of camping in the woods of North Carolina in a fall thunderstorm last year 🙂
I do like it. It’s very grounding, deep, & dark: it smells of wet earth and sharply green foliage in the background w/ a slight sweet tinge. On my skin it takes about an hour for the (strong!) patchouli to mellow out a bit and then it magically TRANSFORMS from cold/wet/dank/earth to warm/cacao edged coziness. Ah that switch, THAT is the part of this I love!
I had Beverly Hills Polo Club Sexy for Her & traded it; was cheap/soapy odd patch on me, not as delicious as this and the rose made it weirdly sterile to me somehow. I greatly prefer this. May snag a bottle when the chance arises!
nezhinskij – :
Possibly my all time favorite from Yves Rocher. Luckily I bought several bottles and have them stored in the refigerator, because this is discontinued.
Definately a fall/winter scent, it makes me think of coming in from raking leaves on a very chilly day, and having a cup of hot cocoa to drink. Warm, gentle, a comfort scent. I have actually had women follow me around in stores to ask what perfume I am wearing. Just use it lightly, lasts for many hours. I love waking up on a cold winter morning and smelling the remnants on my pillow–mmmmmmm……..makes me want to snuggle down and sleep longer.
скилябра – :
This has been discontinued; Fath Pour L’Homme by Jacques Fath is a good and price-cheap near-dupe.
yqm430intitytek – :
C’est un parfum original, très agréable en automne-hiver. Sur moi ce sont les notes boisées et patchouli qui ressortent, alors que sur les vêtements ce sont les notes gourmandes. Il a une
bonne tenue, contrairement à d’autres parfums Yves Rocher, et le flacon est beau, rond comme un galet.
Le descriptif donne une bonne idée du produit, pour moi aucune ressemblance avec Angel (je ne connais pas Bornéo avec lequel certaines le comparent), je le trouve charmant et je le porte avec plaisir, je regrette qu’il soit discontinué.
ridic666 – :
This is so unexpected if I just look at the notes.
First the choclatnote – it is a mature kind of chokolate – not sweet – not bitter – just so right.
Neighter patchouli or vanilla take centrestage. In stead I smell a wonderfull pipetobacconote. It is bordering to the note when there is not much fire left in the fireplase – just glow.
It is a very special kind of perfume – I have never encountered something similar.
I can se scene from Thousand and one nights -In his tent a Maharaji is standing in his long red silkrobe with goldbroderies. Smoking on his waterpipe and looking out over the sun setting in gold and red. A campfire in the distanse and the wind caressing the grains of sand to sleep.
Xeroxdvojn – :
I too discovered the awesomeness of this fragrance only years after being discontinued. However, sometimes you’ll be able to snag a botle from auction sites such as Ebay and the Dutch Marktplaats. Grab that chance, because this perfume is too delicious to pass! It’s the olfactory equivalent of drinking a cup of hot cocoa while relaxing under a warm blanket.
megapixel – :
Having learnt, all too late, about the discontinuation of this beautiful scent I have tried to track down a replacement from the same scent family.
I have recently tried SL Borneo & can confirm they are close relatives.
Borneo has a heap more patchouli, whereas I always found Cocoon to be heavier on the dusty cocoa-powder.
If anyone has some Cocoon to offer (or can point be in the direction of other similar scents) I would be much obliged.
Den_Galax – :
Profoundly earthy, dark, loamy scent, without a trace of flowers, and very far-reaching, very intense. One spray lingered on a sweater for a week.
My brain interprets this as the rich aroma of chocolate, but it could easily be the odor of wet steaming earth after a good mulch, or the inside of an unaired wooden cupboard.
This summer, I grew a small pot of patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) from seed, keeping it in a south window. My living patchouli plant, as I clip branchlets to propagate it, or just idly brush my fingers across the tough, heart-shaped leaves, rewards me with traces of dark chocolate and earth. It smells exactly like Neonatura Cocoon!
peterzil – :
Outstanding fragrance! There is nothing like it that I have smelled so far. This perfume is not similar to any other, it is unique in its kind. I agree with others here that have commented that it is incomprehensible why Yves Rocher has discontinued this wonderful perfume? Heavy cocoa, chocolate, yes, but my overwhelming first impression is Jamaican rhum, brown sugar, humid earthy dirt, decaying leaves..? I have about 2 ml left of my EdP – I must cherish it fervorously until it ends – since everything has to end after all…
gpf613Bessinepome – :
This is very much like Lutens Borneo to me. My sister recently gifted me with a boxed, full bottle of this she has been saving for a long time. We both love this fragrance, and she knew I would miss it, so she saved it for a special surprise.
I cannot in my wildest nightmares imagine why Yves Rocher discontinued this amazing fragrance. The bottle is super ugly. Really bad. I don’t even keep it on display, and I collect perfume bottles. I hate to say it, but the ugly bottle probably kept Cocoon from selling as well at it could have.
In addition to Borneo 1834, Fans of Louve and Bond No. 9 Lexington Ave would have loved Cocoon.
LudmilaRoze – :
At one point, on the page of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Kokorico, there were votes that it reminded them of Cocoon. Now the votes aren’t showing any more.
Has anyone tried Kokorico and compared it to Cocoon?
robi_1981 – :
I must illustrate my awe at how truly elemental and grounding this is by a personal experience.
I had just purchased the last drops of it online, blindly. I tested it, fell in love with it, then put it away to wait for colder weather.
A couple of days later I was walking my rural street on a very sunny day. Suddenly, I became aware of the air smelling richly of something very familiar and divine, but which I hadn’t known long. It took me a couple of seconds to recognize Neonatura. I looked around me in search of such a powerful source of the scent, and I saw, on the left and on the right of me, ploughed earth in the gardens, warmed by the sun, being watered by sprinklers.
tom3454 – :
This is a total all-time fave of mine! It is warm, mysterious, definitely cocoa, yet many people don’t catch that at first. Whenever I wear it, women/girls want to know what it is because they love it! It is unique in the perfume world and for that I especially like wearing it, yet it is not something that stops one in their tracks, but seeps in pleasurably. Suddenly, one has to know what it is! My one very small caveat is that although it lasts well on the body, it does not last quite so well in the bottle. Many perfumes I have had for years without change, but this one will not make it past two, in my opinion. This may be the reason for some negative comments, because I cannot believe anyone would not LOVE it, especially since there are so many chocolate lovers in the world. My disappointment is actually that I grow frustrated when it goes away. Love, love, love this scent!!!
snake-nort – :
Sooooo disappointed….smells agressive and like chemicals on me, really, really cheap scent 🙁 Couldn’t wash it of either, had to shower it off and still it smelled a bit. Nasty. I am 42 yrs and woman.
Gave it to my 22 yrs old nephew…(O.M.G) smelled lovely right away. He smells that perfect patchouli if you are a patchouli-lover ( I am), just the slightest hint of vanilla, and the cocoa nyances just like some musky, slightly earthy scent, layered just beneath the patchouly. The scent is slightly feminine on him but it blends heavenly on his skin and overall he pulls it off as a masculine scent anyway.
Got REALLY jelaous, got over it and will never buy it again.
On me – a flat, boring, undeveloping and strong chemical scent.
On him – a mild, musky, complex scent with layers.
alkozar – :
I like this fragrance but I have to be in the mood to wear it. It is very dry and the patchouli very bossy and up front in the notes with the vanilla being a little more shy. The chocolate is slightly bitter and dark. Quite an intense perfume and it has very good staying power on me. It is earthy and raw but I quite enjoy how unique and different it smells from most high street offerings. Another review suggested it may be better for a certain hair colour, I don’t feel that is the case but I do believe that if you have oily skin it may smell sweeter on you, body chemistry is, after all, what wearing fragrance is all about. Just my thoughts.
Igor-MKS – :
This fragrance is nice for the price (very cheap), but a little bit too sweet in my opinion. One of my favourite perfumes is L’instant pour homme extreme by Guerlain, which has the same choco-patchouli theme. This is kind of like the cheap little sister, not so well blended, a lot sweeter, but still very comforting and nice.
bima – :
I heard many good reviews about this perfume and I wanted to try it for a long time. I was hoping for nice cocoa note but I get only delicate vanilla one. Still, I like to use it very much.
Inga_emizebraabito – :
Patchouli is one of the most basic and most primal earth scents. It is one of the most polarizing notes used in fragrance, which is not surprising considering its traditional use in magical rituals both to attract (love and money) and to repel (banishing spells). In both magical and spiritual rituals, patchouli is associated with the element of earth. In aromatherapy, patchouli is used to lift the mood and promote mental and physical well-being. In meditation and spiritual practice, it is used for grounding and centering the mind.
Cocoon envelops you in a warm, rich, earthy, and comforting cloud of patchouli and bitter, dark cacao. It awakens our most primal sense, our connection with the earth. As the description says: “Nature me donne sa force” -nature gives me her strength. Cocoon is not sweet or subtle, although it is rounded out by a touch of vanilla. It is soothing, comforting, and grounding. Depending on whether you love patchouli or not, Neonatura Cocoon can make you feel like you are cradled by the earth, or smothered by cold, damp dirt. I find it to be as comforting and soothing as the name implies. It’s a shame that Yves Rocher discontinued this one.
gapur 91 – :
Let me start off by saying I’m not a big fan of Neonatura Cocoon, and I do wish I’d spent my money on something else. I bought this about a year ago, tried it, absolutely hated it, tried it again, still hated it, tried one last time and then put it away, hoping to swap it someday.
Today I decided to try it once more. I still don’t see myself wearing this on a regular basis, but I do think I’m better able to give this a fair and more nuanced review.
The patchouli in here is the very earthy kind. It’s not like the patchouli in Angel or BS’ Believe (which I love). Their patchouli is soft and kind of ‘fuzzy’, whereas this patchouli smells dark and earthy, even slightly musty. Maybe it’s a matter of synthetic versus natural patchouli, or maybe it’s just the amount of patchouli in the formula that makes the difference. The person saying Cocoon was 50% patchouli is pretty spot on; the amount of patchouli used in this is downright scary, lol.
The chocolate note is like very dark, bitter, powdered cocoa. I was expecting a sweet perfume, but Neonatura Cocoon is absolutely not sweet. Something in here reminds me of old coffee beans minus the ‘coffee’ scent, if that makes sense. All in all, this scent makes me think of the bitter dark ‘pure’ chocolate pastilles my grandmother used to keep on a saucer in an antique wooden cupboard (for weeks, I presume). The scent of that cupboard would infuse the chocolates, making them taste kind of stale and strange.
I don’t get any of the vanilla; to me this is a dry, somewhat dusty, earthy perfume. Not very wearable for me, but interesting nonetheless.
I found the gourmand comfort scent I was looking for in Rihanna’s Rebelle. The chocolate note is similar, but where Cocoon is dry and earthy, Rebelle is sweet and gourmand (the vanilla is very noticeable in Rebelle).
zof418InsuffBooni – :
.I miss this perfume so much , I have been hording a bottle and now its half gone 🙁 I love this soothing sexy scent , and how it lingures on my skin , very comforting without being overpowering .
Mehub682Negeltzex – :
Since my last review of this perfume it has become my wintertime signature. I just love it. I hoarded three bottles from YR clearance sale and buried a mini sampler bottle on the bottom of my perfume drawer for next generations in case this never returns to YR catalogue! 😀
I guess at heart I’m a hippie girl with a soft spot for patchouli!
Atstek33 – :
This is one of my all time favorites. It smells very strong at first then it calms down after 5 to 15 mins and you can really smell the warm and comforting cocoa and vanilla. Lasts for hours without the need to keep topping it up. Cute handy bottle too.
mmbusko – :
don’t waste your money on this perfume, you can have another one – much better – it doesn t last very much and after a few minutes you feel a cocoa scent with a little bit vanilla – soft baken cake aroma
askroz – :
So nice, warm and special!
Too bad that it is no longer available.
inotorminna – :
This perfume was pleasant and comforting to wear. I chose it at that point in life when I felt like staying at home, sinking under a blanket and watching feel-good movies with dimmed lights and candles burning. Neonatura contributed beautifully to this vegetation phase: woody, a little leathery, with a touch of dark cocoa and wet woodsy mist ( moss? ). Alas, it is not special enough for me to rebuy, but no regrets whatsoever about having it filling my dark danish winter evenings with cosyness once upon a time.
_alex_77 – :
So many of you write it has been discontinued, but not longer than a week ago I saw it in an Yves Rocher store in Poland. I’ve just checked, and it’s also available in their online shop for Poland. Maybe it’s back?
I’ve been very curious to try this one, given the good reviews it received. As awful as I feel to write it, though – I hate it. It doesn’t work well with my skin at all. It’s strong, dry and earthy, patchouli only. I like patchouli, but not in such concentration and not in such masculine rendition. No sweet vanilla, dark chocolate or cacao…
I’m curious how it smells on others, women and men.
giedriusvil – :
When we first met few years ago I truly hated Cocoon.
I found it as being too ‘dry’.
The pure cacao and bitter dark chocolate pushed me away.
That aroma made me think that this is just too dry for a girl.
And that earthy patchouli – I hated patchouli years back.
Now my taste has changed radically.
I must say, I love patchouli in fragrances.
Dry cacao, bitter dark chocolate and earthy patchouli make together an incredible aroma. It isn’t sweet at all. It’s simple but very unusual.
Cocoon calms me, make me feel very confident.
I think it’s perfect for autumn.
fash – :
Let’s get Yves Rocher to Bring this Perfume Back!
I’ve sent several emails to Yves Rocher asking them to bring this perfume back!
roberto – :
I have thought about Neonatura Cocoon for a while. It could be a perfect fragrance for men. Like a softened down Guerlain L´Instant. I am serious. Cocoon feels very unisex in my opinion. Lovely winter fragrance.
valeron6868 – :
This is a treasure. I often layer it with Aquolina Pink Sugar. Love the combination + it helps to stretch my two bottles of Cocoon. It is still listed at the norwegian Yves Rocher site.
Metpi312Unlogrere – :
Reviewers are right: There’s no coconut in the notes or on the box, only cocoa. This is a lovely chocolate/patchouli/vanilla scent. Actually, I layered it with Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights, which smells like elegant chocolate on me anyway, and the chocolate of the Cocoon perfectly complemented it! I couldn’t smell patchouly in Fancy Nights, and the patchouly note in Cocoon blended in as well. That was a very successful experiment, and may help extend the expensive Cocoon. Too bad, I missed out on the sales prices and BOGOs in this country, after Cocoon was discontinued:(
gjkboer-1 – :
It’s discontinued and i’m lucky: i got 2 for the price of 1, their last perfumes in the store. I never even smelled it but I saw the rave reviews on this, and so I had to have it.
First spray: beh, nothing special.
After a couple of minutes: cocoa and patchouli.
It’s earthy patchouli and earthy cocoa, nothing sweet.
After an hour i could smell the vanilla and now it’s much better. Very nice. I get the comments on it being a bit masculine, it is a bit.
It reminds me of Angel taste of fragrance by Thierry Mugler and Kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier, especially the last one.
I have 2 50ml bottles in original packaging (and still sealed)
Glad I got a hold on the last ones.
