PERFUME SLIDE!!!
When one knows the perfume ingredients, it’s not that hard to more or less duplicate it by using pure essential oils. Would take some experimentation.

Coco Parfum by Chanel is a Amber Floral fragrance for women. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Polge.
Top notes are Bulgarian Rose, Coriander, Peach, Jasmine and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Rose, Cloves, Mimosa, Orange Blossom and Clover; base notes are Amber, Opoponax, Civet, Sandalwood, Labdanum, Vanilla and Tonka Bean.
All of those are available as actual pure essential oils except:
Peach - no natural peach scent exists
Mimosa - maybe but never saw in 30 yrs
Clover- never saw in 30 yrs
Civet is an animal gland product, I guess natural but I think the civet cats are not happy with its extraction
Tonka bean - not sure, it is a toxic bean that smells like vanilla, have not seen as an EO
There are several EOs or natural resins used similarly that would add the vanilla scent.
If your wife uses the Eau de Parfum it has these ingredients, the original perfume ings above plus a bunch of really horrible chemicals:

Sister has been looking for amber (essential oil), but no one in our area has any in stock. Would like to get her some for Christmas.
Thanks LJ, that’s awesome.
