Jean Paul Gaultier Kokorico EDT Vapo for Men (50 ml)

Product Information

I haven't tested the original, and got a bottle of this fragrance (50 ml) for 19 euros at Sephora (well, not really a good sign for its future I'm afraid this is going to be discontinued soon).

When I first smelled this frag, I was like “what the hell is that?” Now I’m at that point where I’m like “where in the hell is it?!?!?” Lastly, it does have a "reminiscent" feel of Azzaro Visit!! I don't know how, but it does. Like a person you see in your passing that you must admit they favor your over all description, but they are not you or look like you. Strange, I know...You can spray 7/8 times with this due to the price and scent strength (mild). The initial scent, or top notes, do smell reminiscent of fresh potting soil lol. That is in 1st couple of minutes. Plus, it does have a "slight" vinegar or sour note. DON'T PANIC or JUDGE LMBO.

That can be fig leaf, no question, but also the leaf on almost every tree that bears fruit in the south as well as in the west. Off skin and in the air, it's a different story. After a 5 second burst of pungency, it goes to a shaving cream like vibe and progresses to show cocoa facets further on. The cocoa is partnered by a hefty dose of greenness owing to fig leaf and patchouli. The drydown is almost entirely patchouli.

I love just about every fragrance that I’ve ever smelled containing fig, particularly fig leaf. I think fig leaf has a beautifully green, outdoorsy – sweet & sour smell. It’s really sharp, and it is a great scent to play against on the fragrance canvas because it responds so well to being mixed with base scents. KN is a beautiful example of that. I must say that I think the original Kokorico is also excellent, however this is my favorite of the two.There has been some negative chatter regarding Jean Paul Gaultier's, Kokorico. It is certainly different, but a good different that deserves an opportunity. Today was my first opportunity to try this fragrance - while not my typical fragrance (I am drawn more to the aquatic and citrus blends), I find it appealing and sufficiently unique to portray a message, "it is good to be different"... This green cocoa structure is beautiful and not really terribly offensive either. It is possible that this fragrance was reformulated because it seems to have been extremely polarizing earlier. Also, I really find no similarities to LIDGE - fact which also might support the reformulation hypothesis. That sounded hopeful, that sounded like Habenwill - I had to ask to make sure I had understood him correctly.

How many more powdery chocolate woody smells can we have without anything new being added to the conversation?" Although I don't get along with it myself, I know that this is not meant to sit quietly un-noticed in the corner, rather it is being worn by a big, burly, moustachioed, muscular, hairy man-bear wearing a leather cap and chaps strutting to 'YMCA' With the world watching and saying "Wow!" as he performs(that's just expressive of the un-restrained fun and self-expression and attitude I imagine this fragrance to evoke). kk i ve had this for 2 weeks now. blind bought it because this was never introduced to the north american market and the price was good. i knew about all the hate for this fragrance but since im a huge fan of JPG and having owned le male, fleur le male and gaultier 2 i owed it to myself to try this one out. oh boy am i glad i did and quiet frankly i dont get the hate. I think this can definitely be a unisex perfume even though it's very masculine and not too sweet. To me, this is like if you took Mugler's Angel and stripped away EVERYTHING except the chocolate note and the patchouli and removed whatever mystery factor it has that makes exactly 50% of the population adore it and the other 50% HATE it, and replaced it with a cozy, comforting fig note that no one would dare complain about, you would get something like this. And to think that this is the only pillar fragrance for men (Monsieur being the other) from Gaultier that is not a reinvention of Le Male (though the bottle winks otherwise)La pelea dura algunos minutos y de ahí vienen las opiniones negativas. Espera, ahí viene... ¿alguna de las notas gana? No, sólo debes esperar a que el vetiver les enseñe cómo vivir en paz, habrá valido la pena. Una vez que firmaron la paz, puedes disfrutar de una fragancia muy especiada, con aristas de tierra, hierba, de un olor costoso, muy buena y versátil (sólo mi opinión). Esto durará unas seis horas y después el picor comenzará a reducir para dar paso a un chocolate más dulce y cada vez más cerca de la piel. Esto durará unas 6 horas más. When I first sprayed this I thought "Wow, it's so peculiar!" Nothing like I've smelt before. It's dark and bitter. Woody and pungent. After it dried down, a bitter cocoa note emerged and I was starting to like it. The opening notes can be very intrusive and I would imagine not everyone would be into this. I would say this one is an acquired taste. ok wait for it it gets better...after 20-30 minutes it evolves into an great warm excentric sulty scent!!! truly amazing like the beauty and the beast.. For the first time since years i smelled a designer fragrance (this one) which is not that good (understatement)in the openening and dries down better as the old powerhouse scents did in the 80's !! I've never understood why one of the big perfume houses hasn't taken discontinued popular fragrances and re-released them under a designer label (Jean Paul Gaultier doing a 'Homage' range for instance of old French perfumes)

I think for a woman, this is definitely more of a winter scent, though I'd like to see how a man smells in this on a hot summer day. I imagine it being a sort of sexual musky sweaty-sexy due to the male body/skin chemistry. (Not trying to sound sexist, I hope you guys understand what I mean, talking strictly biology here.) The next week, I was compelled to visit the Kokorico tester again. Will it smell like bananas and rum this time? It did! And more like figs and more like cocoa once the opening transitioned into the dry-down (a 2-5 minute process.) And that squeaky note? Vetiver. I looked it up on Fragrantica on my cellphone and suddenly I could notice all 5 of the notes quite clearly (which kind of supports my theory that many of the notes we think we smell can just be the psychology of suggestion.) The lesson here is to never make your mind up based on how a fragrances smells off a scent strip. Off the strip, it smelled herbal and leafy and NOT in a good way. Kokorico is a fragrance for someone who dares to be different. Someone who wants wear a scent that complements their unique style or personality but doesn't want to spend hundreds of dollars doing so. Kokorico is definitely niche style, and I applaud JPG for daring to make this unique fragrance, but I can't help but shake there is something missing from the sultry combo of fig, patchouli, and cacao. On positive note, it's perfect for all seasons and weather conditions.

This fragrance is a great subtle fragrance. This is for people that really want to smell something out of the norm that does not carry a heavy price tag, and does not shout "I am HERE!!" The components of this fragrance are very well balanced, none stands out above the others, all are perfectly detectable but none is the protagonist, but rather they dance in unison during the life of this fragrance that is quite linear and has a decent duration with a moderate projection, rather perfect. for night use any time of year. Can you bare to live without this... maybe no…maybe yes. As it’s no longer available will you wish you had a bottle? Only if you were there at the time… like Diesel Masculine Plus, it lives on at its best as a memory rather than the reality of now… though a reformulation could transform this loveable sows ear into silk. The fragrance, in turn, is very good. According to the manufacturer, opens with cocoa beans (slightly bitter) and fig leaves, bringing a mix of energy with aphrodisiac flair. Then, notes of patchouli in the heart and, finally, woody nuances of cedar and vetiver. We understand that everybody needs an affordable men's fragrance that they can wear daily without feeling guilty about using up the entire bottle in the space of a couple of weeks. This is why we have many different scents which are available at competitive prices. However, if you are a guy who likes his designer brands, then we have some great affordance fragrances available from brands such asPaco Rabanne,Viktor & Rolf,andHugo Boss.
