Chanel - COCO - Bottle Extract - Luxury Fragrances - 15 ml

Chanel - The Revolutionary Coco

Gabrielle Chanel, a strong and ambitious woman, overturned the women fashion, that was constrained within a rigid social pattern. Chanel the “modiste” didn’t belong to the Parisian aristocracy, nor to the high bourgeoisie, but she managed to make à la page the dressmakers and saleswomen’s dresses even for the rich ladies from Deauville.

She was born on August 19th, 1883, in a small village in the South of France; Coco started out in the fashion industry in 1908, creating hats in Paris and later in Deauville. In the 10s, those cities plus Biarritz saw the opening of her first shops. During the Belle Epoque, women were constrained in rigid corsets and wore pleated, draped and reinforced dresses with petticoats.

Furthermore, you have to consider that the taste of the time imposed an exotic and oriental appeal. It is not difficult to imagine how a fashion style aiming at overturning those rules was considered visionary and impudent at that time. In the same years, Paul Poiret and Mademoiselle Vionnet freed women from corselettes, while Paquin introduced a flowing shape and an Empire style waist.

Portrait

COCO expresses Mademoiselle's intense character and her passion for the Baroque. Quintessential of this oriental-floral-spiced, the extract is sublimated in an iconic bottle sealed by hand with the art of baudruchage.

Olfactory Atmosphere

A baroque score with oriental, floral and spicy notes.
The citrus note of Sicilian mandarin joins a voluptuous heart of jasmine absolute and May rose. A luxuriant harmony with an enveloping memory, declined around the patchouli of Indonesia, the note of tonka bean and benzoin.

Inspiration

Gabrielle Chanel cultivates the art of paradox. The designer, creator of an essential style that revolutionizes women's fashion, also appreciates the Baroque aesthetics, which inspired her to furnish her apartment in rue Cambon and for her collections of Byzantine jewelry. The COCO perfume, which bears his nickname, tells the extravagant and sunny side of this out of the ordinary personality, through an oriental fragrance with iridescent colors.

Art of Perfuming

The extract is the quintessence of perfume. A specific and feminine gesture. "Perfume wherever you want to be kissed," said Gabrielle Chanel. Neck, wrist, décolleté, hollow of the elbow… A drop in the most intimate points of the body, where the heartbeat vibrates.
