Saudade ft. Chanel - 11:36 pm

There's this overwhelming nature to beauty that usually induces me to tears. Maybe, it is because I've always been a

sensitive soul.

Contrary to many personal reviews, 'Coco' doesn't remind me of lust. It reminds me of passion - not something that is

sweet or innocent...it's like a yearning love? (I always this unsure of my own feelings.) I noticed that the perfume creates four

distinct scents. The first being spicy - a seductive, 'come hither' scent. The second being powdery - a comforting clean

 scent that reminds me of fresh laundry. I'm still having trouble describing the last one. But, I will try. It reminds me of

an interesting combination of hibiscus, cloves, cotton, and an approaching storm. The fourth and last phase of 'Coco'

elicits a sense of closeness. Like, a physical closeness - almost like skin.


Overall, 'Coco' reminds me of warmth and comfort. There's something so beautiful about this perfume, that I honestly

want to cry. I actually find it empowering that I was able to purchase this on my own, with my own money.

 It's empowering to me that I purchased a perfume by the revered woman that is the epitome of luxe and glamour and

the creator of the modern woman, on my own.

I think I should add that it makes me feel hopeful, for I may one day have someone to share this experience with.
