Coco Noir’s patchouli, musk and purple fruit are evident from first spray, and they continue on until the fragrance peters out eight hours or so later. Under the blanket of fruit, musk, and patchouli, I do initially smell a citrus sparkle and then Coco Noir’s heart of mellow green rose and geranium leaf tingling with jasmine. Underneath all that fruit, patchouli and musk lies a tantalizing fragrance, with the cool, impressionistic feel of Monet’s water lilies. But I challenge you to dig it out from Coco Noir’s sweet-soapy haze.
