Reviews of Néonatura - Cocoon
by Yves Rocher

I totally agree with the Pigeonkiller. I got this for my mom because she likes these thick, dark, musky, incense like odors. I hated it. Okay, loathed. It was way tooooooooo sweet! And it was strong. Mom likes that kind of thing. Just way too much thickness. It reminds me of candy.

*ehem*

Kind of silly tragedy of a scent for me : This is my girlfriends absolute favourite, and it is one of the two scents that she uses as a daywear; another one is H&M`s Liquid Karl.

I hate this scent. I hate Neonatura Cocoon. And, I have tried to tell this to my Dear, but all I hear is that "as long as you use Miel de Bois, those horrible oud scents and other crap, you should shut up!. I like this, it is cozy and it makes me feel good!"
OK, that`s fair. And since I am not gonna let go of some of my biggest favourites, I don`t have a choice : I somehow must get along with this fragrance.

It`s hard though. Disturbing powdery-sour-dirty-sweet patchouli fragrance with vanilla and cacao thrown along. I`m not a big fan of patch if it`s not well blended, and this shows the worst side of it. I certainly see the similarities to SL`s Borneo 1834, and I have never liked that one either. Also, somehow this makes me think of an ugly collision between Dior Homme and Musc Ravageur, and there are two scents more which I`m not fond of.

Love is strong and for sure we have fun with each other no matter how we smell, but I hope she finishes her bottle soon and is unable to find it anymore.
My fortune and misfortune is that she is very gentle on the trigger ; 2 sprays max. This way the bottle will last for a long time, but at least I am able to breath when I`m near her.

Btw, we have a weird relationship overall :) Couple of oddballs here...


I end this review now.
