Introducing the NEW CHANEL COCO NOIR. “Before me, no one would have dared dress in black,” Gabrielle Chanel once said. Black, an iconic colour of CHANEL, now inspires a luminous new fragrance for women: COCO NOIR. Striking top notes of Grapefruit and Bergamot accentuate the floral accord with Rose and Jasmine, while Indonesian Patchouli and Sandalwood notes add warmth to the seductive scent.

Created by CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge, COCO NOIR marks a return to Oriental fragrances for the House. Recalling his journey to unveil the mystery of black through fragrance, Polge explains, “The night vision of the Orient that starts and ends in Venice imposed itself upon me, and that is where I wanted to go.”
