I finally did wear tests of all 4 of my so cute minis. I have a definite standout. It surprised me.

    It's a no-brainer for me. Not much beats Coromandel. Le Lion would be 2nd.

      Same! But not what I expected my ranking to be. I am blown away by Coromandel. I thought it would be too much patchouli for me. But no, perfection. Not the price tag though. That is not perfection.

      It's artwork in a bottle, and I wouldn't say such things lightly. Artwork best enjoyed on a woman's skin though, at least to my nose. Xerjoff Richwood is such a close scent profile - the subtle differences skewing it slightly more towards the men's aisle. I was deciding between them for the longest time - I think I got through 2x2ml decants of each over a period of a few weeks, but eventually decided on Richwood. Coromandel is right up there on my list of perfumes to buy my future girlfriend though.

      I agree. Masterpiece. It is on the top of my wishlist now!

    Coromandel is legendary!! I love it!! Le Lion is a challenge for me - it’s so big, but I’m determined to love that king of the jungle - I’m a Leo, after all!! Your minis are so darn cute!!!

    1. Borr2112@borr2112

      I LOVE it too. I didn’t think I would. The patchouli picture in the fragrance gram is so big. But it is so perfect. Not that dang price though. Yeesh

    2. Borr2112@borr2112

      Oh. And I found Le Lion a bit much on initial spray. But it is magical when it settles. I wore it the other evening and when I went to bed I felt enveloped in strong warm hug

    I absolutely love Le Lion. It's such an incredible warm, smoky, leathery creation! It's a beastly beauty to me in winter. I've tried Coromandel and wanted to love it, but the patch on my skin was just pure stinky sadly!

    1. Borr2112@borr2112

      Le lion is like a warm strong hug …feels like I am safe 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I agree! It feels like it's expected to be daunting, but it truly is very comforting! I've worn it to bed at times.

      I have Richwood wich is a very nice patch, but might be that doesn’t work that too for you

    Beige for the win 🙌🏼 so elegant 😍

    1. Borr2112@borr2112

      I agree. Very elegant. And it is just lovely. BUT…I felt like an imposter wearing it. I am not elegant!

    I own several Chanel scents and Coromandel and Bois des Iles are my most special but I wear 1957, Misia, La Pausa and Jersey more.

    1. Borr2112@borr2112

      These are the only 4 from the exclusive line I have tried. Of course, I am already googling the ones you have mentioned.

      Classic, artful scents all around. Can’t go wrong.

    Ahh I’d love to try the other two, Le Lion is stable in my collection! Is one of the most elegant Amber I own

      Le Lion is a close second to coromandel. The latter is more wearable in my climate. I have been told that coromandel and richwood are very similar with the latter leaning more masculine. Comete and Beige are very regal, put together scents. I like them but feel like a total imposter wearing them!

      Yes, I own Richwood, and I think is an exceptional patch scent, but is so good that you can’t wear it everyday, is also nuclear! Thanks for the feedback, looks like I am covered :P
