Coco's apartment on Rue Cambon — lacquered Coromandel screens, dark chocolate on a silver tray, patchouli and incense lingering on velvet. Luxury made intimate.

Era & Context

Modern

Part of Les Exclusifs de Chanel, named after the Chinese lacquered screens Coco Chanel collected obsessively. Coromandel is the collection's warmest, most indulgent entry — patchouli and chocolate in a frankincense framework. It bridges Chanel's heritage with Tom Ford's rich oriental territory.
