For the House of Channel from the nose of Jacques Polge and Christopher Sheldrake, comes, Coco Noir. This fragrance launched in August of 2012.
On me this fragrance races like a sprinter in the fifty yard dash from the Top notes through to the base notes in 10 minutes. The final dry down came in one hour. This was not a fragrance matched to my chemistry at all. That being stated I was sorely disappointed but happy this had been a sample and not the bottle. For one hour the fragrance was somewhat soapy, and woody with a hint of the floral notes. Then after that all I could detect was blackberry jam and sandalwood. This was not something that I would have expected from a Channel fragrance but, alas that is exactly what has happened. Try a sample first before buying this one, would be my best advice. I wear other fragrances from Channel with none of the issues I have with this one.
