Discover Poetic Black Gold Mystery: Coquillete Herat Sample
Journey into poetic contrast with Coquillete Herat, an oriental floral fragrance that masterfully interprets Afghan hashish—the "black gold" of a land torn between war and poetry. Crafted by perfumer Rosa Vaia and launched in 2012 as the signature scent of Coquillete Paris, it opens with rich Cuban tobacco, lush Grasse jasmine, and Polynesian ylang-ylang for a sweet, floral-spicy allure, evolves into a smoky heart of Afghan hashish accord, Madagascar myrrh, Moroccan labdanum, Omani incense, and amber wood, then grounds in a deep base of Cyprus oakmoss, ambergris, vetiver, and lingering tobacco—perfect for the introspective explorer seeking a haunting, unisex blend of sheer elegance and earthy depth. At Perfuum, we offer authentic Coquillete Herat fragrance decants and samples, so you can savor this tormented poetry without the full bottle commitment. With free US shipping on orders over $60, Coquillete Herat perfume samples deliver niche artistry at an accessible price.
As the signature of Coquillete Paris, Herat draws from a poetry contest for young Afghan women, blending the beauty of creation with the shadows of conflict—evoking sheer remnants of hashish, tobacco, and jasmine like echoes of an evening past. It captivates oriental floral enthusiasts with its unique, wearable density and subtle sweetness. This Eau de Parfum delivers moderate longevity (often 6-9 hours, with some noting softer projection) and intimate sillage that evolves from bold opening to a lingering, skin-like aura.
Fragrance Notes: A Haunting Oriental Harmony
Coquillete Herat unfolds with floral sweetness before plunging into smoky resinous depth. Here's the breakdown:
- Top Notes: Cuban Tobacco, Grasse Jasmine, and Polynesian Ylang-Ylang. It opens with rich, sweet tobacco and exotic floral lift—like a poetic dawn in ancient lands.
- Heart Notes: Afghan Hashish Accord, Madagascar Myrrh, Moroccan Labdanum, Omani Incense, and Amber Wood. These add smoky, resinous intrigue and warm amber nuance.
- Base Notes: Cyprus Oakmoss, Ambergris, Vetiver, and Tobacco. It dries down earthy, woody, and tenacious, with tobacco lingering powerfully.
This distinctive composition earns praise in fragrance communities for its "sheer hashish-tobacco" sophistication—sweet and earthy with a green-floral twist, often compared to a lighter, more wearable take on Nasomatto Black Afgano (less dense and rubbery), yet uniquely poetic and surprising in its evolution from challenging top to delicious drydown.
