Review of Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum Spray

...ideas. **BACKGROUND** Coco Chanel was born in 1884 in France her life was tinged with much sadness, her mother died at the tender age of twelve, her father left soon after leaving Coco’s aunts to raise her, but when she reached the age of seventeen, both her aunts decided it would be best to place her in an orphanage leaving her in the care of nuns. It was at the Aubazine Orphanage that Coco started to feel very lonely indeed and suffered ...
...Coco launched her signature perfume Chanel No. 5 in 1923, she held dear the maxim that more is less "Always remove always strip away, never add" The first editions came in a stylish art deco bottle being the very first perfume to bear a designer name, she chose to retire in 1938 handing over the reins to Italian designer Schieparelli but in 1954 she decided to make a comeback and sadly she died at the grand old age of 87 back in 1971 whilst staying ...

Review of Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum Spray

...just how much Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel has done for modern women. This Frenchwoman single-handedly invented the modern wardrobe. When her first shop was opened in 1912, women were wearing heavy Edwardian clothes with bustles. Chanel however was a modernist and an original. She took to wearing men's trousers and shirts and adapted men's clothes for wear for herself. Eyebrows were raised at the non-conformity, but she looked cool and some daring women ...
...fabrics. In 1921 she launched Chanel No 5, the first modern perfume, being a blend of several scents, and made from aldehydes. In 1923 she invented the Chanel suit, in 1925 she invented the cardigan jacket and in 1926, the little black dress. Trouser-wearing, which she pioneered, was copied by Hollywood stars of the day, which in turn inspired ordinary women to try them. Essentially she invented the modern perfume industry, the modern designer house ...

The bottle i have is a 50ml or 1.7floz spray.Although you can also buy the 35ml and 75ml bottles.But be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bottle because of it's ...
...fairly new addition to the Chanel clan,and i wasn't surprised to find that it was a curious mix of peach/floral scent,and is not too weak nor too strong. It is indeed very pleasing to the nose. The liquid itself has a tinge of a peach colour too,but that might just be the tinge off the bottle. ~~~~~~~WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?~~~~~~~~ The answer is YES! YES! YES! If you like Chanel that is.Even if you don't i would still tell you to go and get your ...

Review of Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum Spray

COCO. Mademoiselle Chanel's affectionate nickname, was the obvious choice for perfume creator Jacque Polge's 1984 tribute to the legendary designer. Polge was insrired by the enduring spirit of Chanel, a woman who gleefully encouraged the linking of opposites. The fragrance is enriched with paradoxes, reflecting an exciting woman who is many things but never the same. Origional classic!! Heady and Sexy!! I have to say that the first bottle of COCO ...
...had chosen it as his ex used to wear it!! Once over the initial disgust of the reason for his purchase, I was delighted. It is the most beautiful perfume I have ever smelt, to this day!!

Although it may seem expensive, it isn't really. You only need to use ...

Review of Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum Spray

As a man, I have to admit that this perfume drives me wild. After the first time I smelled this fragrance (on an older girlfriend, about thirteen years ago) I was hooked. At first it is a shock to the senses and quite sharp, but after the initial response you get a very sophisticated mix of exotic spices and a the musky aroma. It is the only perfume that I can tell someone is wearing straight away whenever I enter a room, even so the smell is not ...
...lasts very well. My wife can put this on in the morning, when going out to a wedding for example and will not need to refresh it at all during the day. The only drawback to this perfume is the price, which of course is typical chanel, at around £50 for a small bottle of the perfume. You can get the toilet water and various soaps and creams with the fragrance at a very reasonable price though (from around £9.00 - £30.00), if you just want to try it ...
