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.
