Positive22 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
8.2
/10
The r/fragrance community views Coromandel Parfum as a high-quality, sophisticated fragrance with exceptional longevity and complex evolution, though its premium price and sweetness require careful consideration before purchase. Most recommend sampling first, particularly the Parfum concentration which is less sweet than the EDP, and suggest it appeals to those who appreciate refined patchouli and resinous orientals rather than hippie-style scents.

Negative
