Les Exclusifs de Chanel Coromandel vs Coco Noir

Coromandel is clearly beloved by those who've experienced it, but the community is conflicted about pursuing discontinued fragrances due to scarcity and skyrocketing resale prices. Many recommend either enjoying it while available and accepting its temporary nature, or avoiding it entirely to prevent disappointment and excessive spending on the secondary market.

The r/fragrance community loves Coco Noir's beautiful, mysterious scent profile and versatility, but is significantly disappointed by its weak longevity that falls short of Chanel's reputation. Multiple users report the fragrance lasting only 2-3 hours despite being a prestige brand, with some noting even Chanel boutique SAs compensate by double-spraying samples, making it a poor value despite its elegant composition.
