Almost all of us have come across products from Chinese knock‑off manufacturers and have a rough idea of their quality; moreover, it was interesting to find out how far Chinese perfumery has come.
The hype is also fanned by many well‑known perfumers. It’s clear that we’re not talking about high‑art perfumery in Asia with Russian roots, such as Bortnikoff, Maxim or ATon, but about the perfumery of the local population.
On marketplaces, the eau de toilette is listed as “Dirty English Perfume,” which is not accurate.
A quote from what was promised on the marketplace: “Dirty English is a bold, stylish woody‑leather perfume with spicy notes. It opens with the freshness of citrus, transitions into soft leather and woody accords with a light spiciness. The scent is rich, strict, charismatic, and has good longevity.”
Reality, as is often the case with Chinese goods, turned out to be more harsh. It was unclear whether this was due to the box design or poor‑quality printing, and the ink simply flaked off the cardboard.
Even after removing the cellophane film, I couldn’t tell whether this box painting was the result of basement craftsmanship or the author’s intention.
The manufacturer is Zhejiang Aolili Cosmetics Co., Ltd. Shelf life: 5 years. Net volume: 100 ml.
То есть cocoailishi, на коробке это зарегистрированный товарный знак и не имеет другого значения, а не название туалетной воды.
Manufacturer’s address: Yiwu City, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province. Building 7, Shuangfeng Street, 502, Fotang City.
According to an old Chinese tradition, the label differs from the one listed in the product card.
The name of the eau de toilette isn’t even on the label; it’s only on the box, in Chinese.
The label is either not fully attached or has already fallen off, which is not uncommon even in craft perfumery, even among Italians. However, the bottle has a recess for the label, which indicates that competent people were involved in the production of the bottle and is mainly found in expensive brands.
Despite its somewhat awkward shape, the bottle has its own charm, and I’m inclined to attribute this to the designer’s intention to create something in the style of vintage pirate‑era bottles.
The engraved inscription on the back of the bottle, which includes the company name, the bottle number, the expiration date, and the capacity, looks like a mockery of famous brands like Tom Ford, which only have a sticker with the same number on all bottles.
There’s a strange, cozy feeling coming from these awkwardly shaped bottles; they have their own crafty charm.
It might even seem that all those gypsy‑style trinkets on the spray bottle lid would only be annoying, but the longer you look at them, the more you get into the designer’s idea.
It’s probably because all of this was collected manually, and that always leaves a noticeable impact.
However, it’s a bit naive to think that someone would sit and manually craft brass decorations for a vial that, along with its contents, costs quite a lot, since both the skull and the buffalo tusk are made using a high‑tech powder metallurgy method.
Even the lid is deliberately made slightly crooked. Attention to detail commands respect.
The bottle cap is also high‑tech, which is immediately obvious when you look inside it, from which you can unequivocally conclude that all the inconsistencies are a masterfully executed design concept.
I couldn’t find the exact fragrance pyramid; it’s described everywhere as a honey‑spicy woody scent with resin notes. And that’s exactly what it is, and to me it reminds me of Tom Ford’s Ébène Fumé, which is also quiet and not very long‑lasting.
It can even be considered unisex because it’s soft, non‑aggressive, and warm.
The spray nozzle is sitting crookedly, but it works perfectly. It reminded me of the curved spray nozzles in the lineup Tom Ford Black Orchid.
Despite the fact that the liquid is brown in color and has a consistency similar to that of perfume, the fragrance of this eau de toilette disappears quickly, within five to ten minutes, which means it can only be used as an aftershave or as a sanitizer — which is honestly indicated in the concentration of “eau de toilette.”
I think the low longevity is due to the low concentration of natural components, which themselves have low longevity. If this eau de toilette were in the concentration of perfume and had a longevity of more than 8 hours, it would be a hit among most of the male population of the planet.
I think I had a pleasant experience purchasing Cocoailishi Bad Boy eau de toilette, and every customer will find a use for it.
I don’t make a sample of this eau de toilette, as a full bottle costs as much as one cup of espresso coffee, but you can purchase equally beautiful and long‑lasting fragrances from me on my website Keerill or on the website:
