Introduced in 2012, CHANEL Coco Noir is the house’s modern ambery signature that “uses black to reveal femininity.” A vibrant burst of bergamot opens to a generous floral heart. May rose and geranium rose leaf accord before a magnetic trail of patchouli and tonka bean unfolds. Composed to feel luminous, sensual, and unmistakably CHANEL.

Story & Positioning
Chanel Coco Noir launched in 2012 as a modern woody oriental signed by Jacques Polge and Christopher Sheldrake. Inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s love of black and by Venice’s opulent nights, it offers a darker, more sultry counterpoint to Coco Mademoiselle. Bright grapefruit and bergamot open the composition, a heart of rose and jasmine adds lush floral depth, and a rich base of sandalwood, tonka bean, and patchouli creates a smooth, long-lasting trail. The aesthetic nods to Chanel’s Chinese Coromandel screens and her fascination with Byzantine art, shaping a perfume that feels nocturnal, elegant, and irresistibly sophisticated.
Bottle & Design
The iconic CHANEL rectangular flacon appears in a deep, glossy black. Minimal, architectural, and instantly recognizable within the Coco universe.
