My kids who dislike most strong perfumes enjoy smelling it. I cannot fathom how a perfumista could dislike it with so many boring sugar sweet department store flower bombs walking around.

It might be because clouds of wafted everywhere and advertising with samples in magazines was pervasive. But I love Coco. I haven’t had much experience with fragrance so I doesn’t smell dated to me.

I seeked our and equally love Edt (the first concentration I tried), EDP and extrait. Slightly different but all precious to me. Fortunately we can find bottles online from earlier batches, early 2000s bottles still suit me.

And then promptly bought a bottle of the EDP "splash" bottle and brought it home with me. And I haven't looked back since.

I have always worn Coco since about the mid-80's and always get compliments on it, and have been stopped by strangers saying "wow, you smell so good"!
