Neonatura Cocoon (for women)

montieg

I'm wearing this fragrance now, and people keep commenting on how gorgeous I smell! I must admit when I first sprayed it I almost died - it reminded me of pine sol, but then, after 20 mins of the scent warming on my skin, this BEAUTIFUL vanilla, chocolate, patch smell came through and warmed me. Love it. Have patience for this to warm.

What a deliciously comforting scent! Theres a warm-earthy sharpness from the spices (even though I'm not sure that there are any), with a punch of dried shredded coconut, laced with a vanilla essence. The patchouli intermixed in here is incredibly intoxicating & brings almost what I feel is a calming woodsyness. Perhaps it lends a hand in creating the spicy aroma I smell, as well. When I wear this I think of dried shredded coconut & roasted almonds wrapped in a delightfully spicy rich dark chocolate shell. How absolutely decadent, elegant (even sexy), and cozy.

Cocoon is proof of the beauty in simplicity. This perfume is dominated by two notes I love: vanilla and patchouli. Yes, there are some other supporting players in there, but the combination of the vanilla and patchouli is what makes this fragrance so special. It's a non-sweet, woody vanilla on my skin (more like a vanilla bean or vanilla extract), and the patchouli is stronger than the other ingredients. The coconut is virtually undetectible on my skin.

Cocoon lasts for hours on me and gets better as the top notes fade. I think this is another one that it would be difficult to over-apply. Even a few drops seem to settle quickly into a soft, sexy "your skin, but better!" aroma.

Thanks to Darlingbuds, I got a chance to try this amazing scent before purchase, but I know this is one I would have liked even if I purchased it blind!

I was looking for a perfume with a strong patchouli note - and ended up buying this fragrance because it is nice and inexpensive.
It is not the kind of high-powered, emphatic stuff you might expect from the list of ingredients. This scent does not boast anything sensational in its formulation, it is simplistic and cosy. I think it is very wearable and is a welcome respite from the dynamics of some trendier perfumes, which is the reason why men turn around in delight when you walk by smelling of it. Doesn't last long, though, but the bottle is very handy and slips into yor handbag easily.

Very earthy and spicy. The vanilla does come through, but the patchouli is way more dominant, at least to my nose.

This is a gem of a scent. Very sultry rich vanilla and patchouli. Long Lasting and a good retail price. Pick this up while you can.

I used this for four years constantly. It was always there for me when I needed sth comforting. But a change in life also changed my like in parfums.
Wearing this, people assured how good it lingers around me, really:like a cocoon and how much they associate it with me.
It's the first parfum by Yves Rocher which I like and which has the courage to be different and a bit provocative.
A confident, smiling midget-woman from out of space and time, with sth. earth-like on her skin comes into my mind when I think about Néonatura. She asks the astonished people around her: can you handle that?

My sister borrowed me hers after I'd received the souffle version and I must admit, I like this one a lot more. I will definitely purchase this one. Calms me, is warm and comforting.

Sometimes I would like shelter, run away to safe place. Such, I will be fond in which safely, warm and quietly. It beguile island with patchouli, vanilla and bitter cholocate. Yet, I have such island, no, it's rather cocoon in wich I can to safe - it is Neonatura Cocoon. It's fine, natural, warm smell, which smells none perfume, but it smells charmed brown oasis of tranquility , calm. In second phase smells friendly pine forest also. Quiet, warm, oriental, unpretentious, simple, very natural smell. It's very similar to exclusive Borneo by Lutens, but it is cheapest considerably. And it next fine advantage Neonatura Cocoon. Probably, fairest smell of Yves Rocher and probably, one of fairest oriental scent in whole perfum. Very curious. It very pleases other peoples. They hook me and they ask about its name. Warm Neonatura Cocoon is curiously and beautiful.

Not everyone will like this perfume. If you want a sexy, provocative perfume, this is NOT it. If you want a winter perfume for dark days, this is it.

I adore this fragrance!! It is warm, comforting, yummy, and sexy all at once...a GREAT winter scent. Its name is perfect, and so is the bottle...comfortable and wraps around your skin like a glove.

For the first two or three hours, I really get the coconut flavored with an enticing vanilla/patchouli mix. After the coconut starts to fade, the drydown is soft and lingering.

I am amazed at how well composed this fragrance is...could easily be very over-powering (a lot of fragrances with coconut and/or patchouli are to me), but it is so beautiful and has the best of everything! A touch of fruit, a bit of gourmand, a hint of spice...PERFECT! :)

I would also like to add that a few years ago I bought a perfume oil from Victoria's Secret with some tropical theme, I can't remember the name of it. (Tahitian Vanilla or something?) Its note were mostly vanilla & coconut & patchouli, and in VERY small doses I liked it. Neonatura Cocoon reminds me of a refined and much more beautiful version of this.

UPDATE: This is my second day running of wearing this perfume, and I have to say I rather underplayed its merits.

I have had 3 separate compliments (one from a work colleague, 2 from strangers) about my fragrance today, and now I am getting a more complex amber among the base notes which I hadn't previously discerned at all. I didn't mean to make this sound as boringly "okay" as (reading back my original review) it eventually turned out.

Interestingly, all compliments commented on how spicy this was - which is something I don't think is immediately apparent on your own skin as you live with the perfume and let it settle. Along with the amber, vanilla and patchouli base notes, I get occasional wafts of black pepper and ginger, too!

This is definitely growing on me - I love perfumes that still manage to surprise the wearer.

What do we want from a bottle of perfume? Why do we choose one fragrance over another, when we like, love both of them?

This is rice pudding with extra nutmeg. This is home-made hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. This is an all-enveloping, extremely comforting fragrance that will wrap you within its cocoon all day.

Yves Rocher perfumes are very hit and miss - some are extremely well developed, some are hideous chemicals poured into cheap bottles. This sort of falls between the two. Although I love it, I wouldn't pull it out of my bag with aplomb. Perhaps this is partly to do with my snobbery, but I still feel this isn't on a par with my beloved niche designer fragrances, no matter how 'nice' this perfume actually is.

This isn't a perfume to make your heart beat faster, or to go into raptures about, or to spritz on with abandon whilst attempting to woo your heart's desire... instead, this a perfume that calms, nurtures, reminds you of the good things in life.

It so happens that my fiancee, who says "yeah, that smells alright" about practically all my fragrances, really, really likes this one - to the point where he will actually express a preference and remark about "that nice perfume you were wearing yesterday" if I ask him what he likes.

But I don't wear perfumes for him, or any other man: I wear perfumes to either suit & further enhance the mood I am in - refined ice-maiden; man-eater, mysterious, other-worldly vixen - or to utterly change my mood: to GIVE me confidence; to LEND me the air of an indefatigable character who swans around with a powerful nonchalance that sickens the lesser mortals around them.

Therefore, this perfume suits the moods when you don't know what you need. It melds to your being, it changes to suit YOU. Sometimes I smell nothing but vanilla creme, other times I get punchy hits of patchouli that are almost (but not quite) overwhelming. Mostly I get a musky, sexed-up My Skin smell, with added Crème Brûlée. Extremely more-ish, then, but not a signature perfume I will reach for in order to define the real ME...

i ebayed this one because i LOVED the name and the notes. at first, it smells very woody and masculine. i was a little surprised. it quickly turned into a warm nice smell and finished with an adult vanilla. i think maybe someone who only likes vanilla without too much sweetness would really like it.

SPOILEDnose

so special this fragrance, it was love at second sight becasue first i thought it`s too woody, but it has also a feminine side in it, makes you feel earthy and save in yourself, brings you down in a positiv way, when you want to relax and you`re stressed, like a cocoon simply, the name fits absolutly...

Vickalena

I agree with Rebella that aroma is tender and cosy. Warm and comforting, as your favorite soft pullover. It stays very close to a skin, has light vanilla-woody-sweetish aura. The body-lotion of same line enriches the scent and makes it lasting longer. Best for cold seasons.

Carmel

Normally vanilla/cocoa scents don't do that well on me, but in this one they do. It's a really warm scent, very regressive and comforting.

Marianne

In my opinion, wearing it could offend other people because of its enormous woody intensity. You have to be a strong character and have courage to wear this one. I got a sample but I only apply it at home. A bit too masculine in the base.

rebella

It´s nice. Varm, tender and very comforting to wear. The vanilla/cocoa smell comes in the end and is unfortunatly very discret. No one can get offended bu this perfume, you can wear it at work or around kids. Sorry enough that at the same time means that nobody notice how good you smell, and the perfume dont last long either. Maybe a perfume for blondes?
