Finally I received my own bottle. I own a decant of EDT and used up a bottle of EDP. I wished to own the pure perfume version ever since I first had read about it. I just put it on, it's divine. Unboxed it along with this video (that I watched earlier to make sure that this version is worth my attention) , it was fun this way.
My only gripe about the pure Parfum is the lack of atomizer on the bottle. Personally, I prefer to spritz on my fragrances. Do you know if Chanel offers a decanter for these ?
Coromandel is the one I always used to struggle with like with coco mademoiselle, however I love the pure perfume of coco mademoiselle so maybe I will fall in love with Coromandel?
Dacob have you ever smelled Sycomore pure Parfum ? I happen to have a very rare bottle of it. Many years ago Chanel had some of their select stores carry a few bottles to see what customers thought of it along with their other pure Parfums offerings from Les Exclusifs. I can send you a photo of it.
I'm so glad to hear you mention *The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance* in the midst of your *CHANEL* review. Brilliant. Makes me curious about the perfume because I loved the show.
Great review, I treasure my only bottle of Coromandel EDT and now will aim for the pure parfum at some point. Well done to your scarabs, they did good.
My absolute favourite of all fragrance to wear is Coromandel Edu Parfum. I’m in Sydney Australia and we are not getting the Coromandel parfum until Christmas this year...yes it’s on my Christmas list already :) .. I’m really excited to try this !! Thanks for a great review!!
I still own an almost full (65ml) Coromandel EDT bottle. A friend of mine wanted to get rid off it and sold it for only 60€. Can you believe it? Thank you Dacob for your beautiful review and your words of wisdom ("meaningful moments" and "fate"). They are so much appreciated. I hope that I will test the Coromandel Extrait but currently save my money for the Cuir de Russie Extrait. The bottles of the Extraits look beyond amazing! They have for me a vibe of old glamour and luxury.
Hi, nice that you have it replaced! Nice that you share how you open it coz I have not experienced any problem in any of mine and I live away from the store I frequently visit... now if ever I will purchase one I will open it in their botique. BTW I am not that lucky to get a scarab in Singapore , what they have is quite huge with the resin I think... I will be back towards the end of this month and fingers crossed!!! Thank you ♥️
Ahhhh what would I give to get the EDT. I discovered Coromandel to late. I only got a little sample of 1.5 ml. I love the EDT but its not available anymore. Now after viewing your great video I consider to buy the Parfum to try it. Maybe it gets a bit closer to the EDT. I have the EDP and I think, or my nose thinks, that the EDP is a lot stronger a lot more intense than the EDT. I try to find a softer version. But I have to admit I am a huge fan of Coromandel in all its versions. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Your explanations are really helpful.
@@pullingthestrings5233 You should definitely buy it. It is not so bad as it sounded in my previous comment according to the strength. It is indeed stronger than the EDT buuuut it has a huge benefit - it lasts a lot longer. And after about 15 minutes its getting powdery. A special powdery scent, one that stays good recognizable but soft and powdery. A lot of powdery scents fade away so fast. But this one doesnt. I used it now for a longer time and after I got used to the strong beginning I started to absolutely love the EDP. Its worth buying it. :)
@@jimmij7432 i purchased Le lion about a month ago and i I'm enjoying it. But Coromandel is one that i also wanted so much but hear stories from people that say that it doesn't project after about 2-3 hours. Have you been noticed wearing it let's say about 6 hours later after initial spray? Because i just want it to at least project for about 6 hours with good sillage.
@@pullingthestrings5233 oh yes! It lasts for over 2 days on my skin. I can even smell a little bit of it after showering. And when you apply it on your clothes you can be sure, that there is a trace of it after washing your clothes as well. I never had a perfume with such an endurance. The scent that you can smell after such a long time is mostly a nice woody vanilla but more vanilla and very soft.
Yay! A successful unboxing and an old school Dacob perfume review. I will have to check out the Dark Crystal show on Netflix...or should it be Cristalle Noir? Xoxo!
Great video. Thank you so much for showing in detail how to open these bottles. I never would have known. I watched the first unboxing video after I ordered a bottle and immediately looked for an updated video when my bottle arrived today. I opened my bottle while watching your video. I had the same batch number as you did and was worried but all turned out well. What do you do with the wax seal? Do you attach it back to the bottle in some way? If so, how? It looked so cute on it. I have all 3 versions you showed but I haven't had them for that long. So I don't know if I can compare them as well as you did but I do like the edt the best I think. Well, I think I will have to wait and see with the Parfum. It does smell good so far. But I do like sweet scents and I do think the edt is sweeter so. . . . I will watch your video again though as I was a bit distracted with my new purchase. Thanks again.
Thank you :) I keep the little wax seal in a tiny box. There is no way to reattach it back to the bottle in a good way that would not affect the usage of said bottle and perfume inside it. The pure parfum is less sweet but at the same time it is warmer and I prefer that and it also has none of the screechy aldehydes opening of the edt which I also prefer. xoxo
Dacob, man you are quickly becoming my fave RUclipsr. You've managed to foster a sense of community, family and genuine comradery with your subscribers that is pretty rare in ANY group/chat setting. Thank you for helping us unwind and for "taking us along for the ride" as they say😊. You make me feel like "one of the cool kids" and I've NEVER been one of the cool kids, LOL.. Always look forward to your posts❤. Be blessed!
Thank goodness this one is okay! I am going to pick up my Bois des Iles tomorrow. I just called the boutique and they have put aside the last bottle they currently have. I shall open the bottle slowly, with this video running, as a tutorial guide on how to get the seal off unbroken! Now I want Coromandel Pure Parfum as well, but it will need to wait a little while! Thank you for your endless inspiration! On an unrelated note, do you know anything of a German bag brand called Braun Buffel? They have a beautiful wallet on a chain (which can also be worn as a belt bag). I am thinking of acquiring it. I have abandoned all thoughts of a Chanel WOC, unless maybe one day if I am back in Paris and I weaken. Always a possibility with me! But that won't be for some time. Thank you for another matchless video. I do so appreciate your work. Thank you!
I have not heard of the brand you mention but never give up hope on a CHANEL WOC ;) They did change them to update them kind of so I might make a video on that topic sometime soon. xoxo
Hi Dacob I’m so happy that you were able to get a replacement so easily! I have a question if you have the time. I’m planning my first visit to a Chanel boutique during a trip to Miami in a couple of weeks I was wondering if you’ve had any experience with any of the Chanel counters or boutiques in that area. If not, do you recommend going to an actual boutique to have the best experience trying and purchasing fragrance, or do you think a counter at a high end department store would be just as good. If you have no opinion necessarily that’s cool. I just am wanting to optimize my time and experience while there. I have no access to Chanel Fine Fragrance counters or boutiques anywhere near where I live. Please forgive the lengthy question. I so enjoyed watching the saga of your new Coromandel Parfum and finally hearing all about the scent. This was a great review because it was informative but also sparked my esoteric curiosities and philosophical ideas. Great great stuff thank you!
So happy to see that they rectified the situation and replaced the perfume bottle. I was actually thinking about this today at work and what the outcome was going to be. I was wondering what boutique location you shop at because they seem to be very friendly and helpful. A lot of their other boutiques they are not necessarily the nicest.
I used to wear a good perfume like you said. Using it very wisely bcz it was so good. But some of them bcz of that went off. You mentioned you have a bottle for 10y. Hoooow???? Wooow
Not sure what it is… used to be onion film but also in the past they used some animal intestine membranes… these days not sure what it is but I keep mine once I take them off and they stay intact… they don’t really dry out and they don’t turn to dust…
Hello to you, have you Heard about the new Gabrielle, the " essence " ? Tried it...same crap, but dearlier....a pure rip off.have a lovely day. Christopher.
OMG that little kit of miniatures is divine ❤
🥰
Wow, this was the most passionate and yet informative video review of Coromandel on RUclips that I have seen 👌🏼
Thank you for your kind words :)
I purchased a bottle of Coromandel Parfum at David Jones in Adelaide, during my holidays from Melbourne Australia. Loved your opening very special
Finally I received my own bottle. I own a decant of EDT and used up a bottle of EDP. I wished to own the pure perfume version ever since I first had read about it. I just put it on, it's divine. Unboxed it along with this video (that I watched earlier to make sure that this version is worth my attention) , it was fun this way.

@@SuperDacob It's soo good! It's fantastic and a perfect, perfect prequel to the original 1982 film. Puppets rule! 😀😀
Fingers crossed it gets renewed for a second season :)
Great review, I treasure my only bottle of Coromandel EDT and now will aim for the pure parfum at some point. Well done to your scarabs, they did good.

Sounds amazing. I gotta get it. I have the EDP and I absolutely love it, haven't smelled the others yet though
The parfum is deeper than the edp. ;)

Your analogy 👌🏻👌🏻 so on point and fitting
Thank you Joyce! I ADORE the dark crystal! Both movie and series and it fits COROMANDEL perfectly :) xoxo

Truly magnificent video. Now that you’ve had time with it, do you think the Parfum has the longevity of the EDT?
Best regards.
Thanks Jason. It actually does not. The first edition of the EDT is a beast while the Parfum is more tamed and stays closer to the skin.
That little skin on the bottle neck is usually paraffin wax. I used to use it in labs to seal glassware all the time.
Onion skin?
Thanks for the tips on how to open the bottle cuz I never purchased pure perfum.👍🏻 glad ©️©️exchanged it quickly for u my love. 🖤😘😘😘Sandy
So classy sophisticated and eloquent and the chanel is okay to 😀
Awww thank you Edward!

@@SuperDacob awe, def NOT you nowadays, you shine brother!
Hermes or Chanel? Which is your favourite?
Chanel, without a moments hesitation 💖
im not a chanel fan but this one is a fave....its lovely!
It really is a great fragrance!
Did you get a bottle?
yes....but i really want the les exclusif bottle...almost extinct now .
Does Chanel have testers for the Coromandel parfum at the store for testing?
If they sell it then usually they have a tester bottle as well.
They do not. Only the EDP. If they had a tester Parfum it would all be gone in a week

Will you be reviewing Sycomore Parfum?
Hi Michael, head on over to my Essence-tially Dacob perfume RUclips channel for that video 😉 ruclips.net/video/sRLKkqyHBmQ/видео.html
Thank you! Can you do the same comparison for Cuir de Russie?
Ah, I see you have reviewed the extrait. Brilliant!
So glad everything with the bottle issue turned out well eventually)
Thank you Tanya :) Yes, it went all well in the end.
😊 Glad to see you got a replacement my Friend🙌
Thank you Sandra :) xoxo
So glad I watched this because that last video gave me some anxiety lol
All's well that ends well ;) xoxo
Did you get to keep the other samples of your first purchase?
Thats a bizarre question... the samples were not faulty...
@@SuperDacob yes I know but I tought because they came with the first purchase you couldn't keep with when you returned the purchase.
I love a happy ending 😊
Me too :)
Excellent review of an excellent fragrance
Thank you Sandy :) xoxo
That's a pretty good apology gift to be fair. x
Very good one! Yes! I agree.
Certainly a great review on this version of this fantastic classic !
Thank you so much for sharing . . .
Thank you Arden.
I love Coromandel. I admire it but I can’t wear it. I feel like I’m not smelling it but it’s smelling me.
Thats a good point. Its all in the dosage… and where it is applied and how far away from the nose.
@@SuperDacob I just feel like it’s so fantastic that I am beneath it. But yes. I’ll try behind the knees or something.
That “skin” looks like Parafilm, a stretchy sealing tape-like product that’s used in laboratories.
Not sure what it is… used to be onion film but also in the past they used some animal intestine membranes… these days not sure what it is but I keep mine once I take them off and they stay intact… they don’t really dry out and they don’t turn to dust…
Are empty bottles of value?
I know, I'm sad....my wax broke off 😫😭😭😭
Omg I'm so nervous watching you opening the lid 🤞
Chanel batch codes repeat every 8 years, not every 10 years
❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks gad¡

First bam!!
LOL! BAM!!!
@@SuperDacob sorry I was a bit aggressive there 😟 but excited to hear what this is like, love Coromandel.

My love !!! Thank you for sharing this amazing video , let’s meet and have a coffee ☕️ 🙈
love the fragrance but ... men wearing nail varnish ??? wtf isn't that effeminate mate ??
Oh Matthew, Matthew, Mathew... Life must have been tough on you kiddo. Cook up your toxic masculinity and feed it to who gives a damn.
