How it moves
Bitter orange, neroli and bergamot hit first, the way an opening line should. Underneath, patchouli, jasmine, rose and frankincense settle in and take over. What is left hours later is benzoin, white chocolate, vanilla and amber, and that is the part people follow you for.
Who made it
Christopher Sheldrake, Jacques Polge composed it in 2007, for Chanel in France. Named after the lacquered Coromandel screens in Coco Chanel's apartment, it is a plush patchouli-benzoin oriental from Les Exclusifs.
