La Petite Robe Noire Velours vs Coco Noir

Community opinion is cautiously mixed, with longtime fans anxious about the reformulation of the Déserts d'Orient line. While the reissue of popular scents is welcomed, lack of detailed reviews and discontinuations of related fragrances have created uncertainty about whether the new version will live up to the original.

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.
