Les Exclusifs de Chanel Coromandel vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

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.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
