Oh my, this smells so delicious! The patchouli did remind me a little of Angel,but Angel I would not wear. This however is light, powdery, fresh and slightly sweet. Delightful!

Wow, this is patchouli? This smells nothing like the oils my hippie friends wore. Coromandel is gorgeous. Rich, deep, sweet and creamy, not at all prickly and overly dark like my past experiences...

Great fragrance! Its a softer version of SL Borneo 1834, more weareable. I wish the Les Exclusifs would come in edp!!

This is straight patchouli on me. Strong and linear. It certainly lacks Prada's sweet feminine vibe, as this is rather "scratchy" Glad I tried it and wrote it of my list.

A favorite of mine to pull out as the weather cools down! An oriental beauty, with blends of amber, patch, vanilla, incense and woods. The opening on me is a moderate dose of patch, but quickly...

A bit spicy and patchouli when first applied, if I remember correctly. Then the drydown is just too masculine and too much patchouli for me, also get a hint of cigarettes. I just don't care for...

Soft, powdery patchouli. Well composed and very elegant. Part of the upper end "les exclusifs" line, this is not available in pure parfum. Instant "no full bottle for me" on that alone as the...

Let me start by saying I am not Chanel's biggest fan. The only ones I like on me are 28 Rue La Pausa, and No. 22 is pretty nice... but not something I would ever need full bottles of, being an...

Coromandel is the first CHANEL fragrance I had to have a full bottle of! I have really come to appreciate its complexity, how it opens with an earthy burst of woods and patchouli, then some iris...

Coromandel is Coco Mademoiselle on sedatives. Coco Mlle's edgy and sophisticated patchouli belongs in a swanky hotel lobby. Public. A bit of flash. Meanwhile you will find Coromandel's ...

There are so many types of patchouli, and the note itself can be so distinctively arranged in fragrances that it is no surprise that similarities between fragrances featuring the note are so...

An amazingly complex fragrance that is all over the map. Reading others' interpretations is fascinating, and while I agree with the woodsy, smoky, vanilla descriptions I certainly don't smell...

I agree on the similarities with Yves Rocher’s Cocoon, which was the first thought that hit me when I tried it for the first time. When I compared them this is a little edgier (the incense and...

Coromandel, whilst not smelling very much like Ford's Black Orchid, does share that peculiar quality of starting off with quite a sour, almost medicinal note, before drying down to a much rounder,...

This is the most amazing patchouli - I love it. I would say on me that Coromandel is a study in the accenting notes of a central patchouli theme - the earthy green rooty iris complements this...

Of the Chanel Exclusif's this is the most complex. What a ride this fragrance takes you on! Coromandel's opening is naughty. Dirty panties with spice and woods. Slowly ... the naughty opening...

Despite the high quality of most Chanel perfumes, I've never really taken to them, as I find they all have a mildly old-fashioned elegance that on me translates as prissiness. Coromandel is the...

This is one of absolute favorites, a refined and soulful amber/patchouli that manages to be intense and natural while filtering out most of what people think of as hippy-patchouli vibe. The dirt...
