One of my biggest passions in beauty is perfume. I love
the bottles, the scents, but most of all I love the memories perfume invokes. The
perfume that I have the strongest memories with is Chanel Coco. To me this
might as well be called Chanel Christmas. So with Christmas just around the corner I thought
why not take a trip down memory lane?
Years back as a Christmas spurge I bought myself a bottle
of Chanel Coco. At the time I was a broke college student looking for a fiery fragrance
to wear on winter nights out. Now these were the years that most girls wore Juicy
Couture, I however opted for the complete opposite. Yes, a part of me wanted to
stand out from the crowed of girls wearing sweet white florals. However the
other part of me thought the notes of Bulgarian rose, sexy amber and sweet vanilla
would complement flirting and a glass of a red wine to a T. So for a very brief time Chanel Coco became my
signature night out scent.
I’m not sure what prompted me to carry such a large fragrance
in my purse. Was this a thing that people did? Do people still do this? Mind
you looking back perhaps big purses were in. Questions aside Christmas morning
came and when it came time to pick my fragrance for the day the obvious choice was
Coco. Plus it helped that I lugged this refillable bottle with me everywhere. On that
Christmas day this perfume instantly transformed for me. The notes of clove and
mandarin complimented the spicy notes of Christmas. At the same time the scent
of sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla captured the warmth of a big family get
together.
From being in teens and helping my mom with Christmas
dinner to now being an adult and celebrating Christmas in my own house Coco
marks the past 10 years in holidays for me. With Coco I traded my party girl
heels for the comfort of a huge family get together and I’m so glad I did. If
you if you can stop for a quick spritz of this perfume I can’t recommend this masterpiece enough.
