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.

Sing Me to Sleep







Gentle fingers, strum

His bobbing Adam's apple

Serenades, my sleep

Soft laughter, moans wakes the night

'Only in my dreams', I say
