My favourite perfume? Has to be Coco Chanel

Favourite perfume? Has to be Coco by Chanel.
In the office we were talking about whether there were any good offers around for perfumes at the moment and any places we could recommend to buy good perfume. I said that I often buy my perfumes online from Amazon, because the deals were good, there were perfume reviews and the perfume was delivered to my door in the next 2 days. You obviously can't get to try before you buy, but if you know which perfume you're looking for, it's convenient and you can get some great deals.
My friends asked if there were any deals on at the moment on the discount perfume websites where I like to buy perfume online for Coco by Chanel. I smiled. I love a lot of Chanel's perfumes, but Coco is one of those special classic perfumes that you hope you can find a good offer on, so you can afford a really special treat.
Coco by Chanel is one of my most favourite perfumes. I first smelled it years ago as a teenager, dabbling in the department store testers. I had put it back, too heavy for me then.
Now I'm older, I love its powerful musky, woody base notes, and wearing it makes me feel spohisticated, mature and successful. As you would expect from a designer perfume, it is elegantly presented in its minimal angular squared bottle with its stylish black box. The price tag is what you would expect from a perfume with more than a touch of class.
It opens with fresh floral notes, with middle notes of oriental spices and a drydown of vanilla musk.
The notes for Coco Chanel are
- Top Notes
- Angelica, Mimosa, Frangipani, Mandarin
Middle Notes- Cascarilla, Orange Flower, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine
Base Notes- Labdanum, Ambrette Seed, Opopanax, Benzoin, Tonka, Vanilla
The lady in Duty Free told me she can't wash the smell out of her work blouses, but I don't see that as a bad thing!!
Apart from the delicious smell of Coco Chanel, I'm also fascinated about the woman herself, coming from such humble beginnings, with her itinerant father and her mother who died when she was just 12, to achieve such success in life. There have been 5 biographical books published recently about the designer, all full of different stories, many of which she invented herself, revealing the stories behind the pearls, the little black dress, the nautical suits, and the tweeds.
Watch the film, Coco before Chanel to find out more about the fascinating life of the woman behind this complex fragrance.

Wish I could afford to wear it more often - it is totally gorgeous isn't it?
Coco Chanel can be strong like a strong personality, it's provocative, so don't put it on like you're drinking it and you'll enjoy its magic! This is a fragrance for the confident, captivating woman, who knows who she is and knows her inner power. She won't ever apologize for being herself.
Hi fragranceetc - absolutely - nicely put. I think wearing Coco Chanel gives you that extra confidence too.
