Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Coty in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.

The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Coty fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.

However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Coty perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Coty brand might see it.

Also, this website is a labor of love, it is a work in progress and is always being updated with new information as I can find it, so check back often!

Nokomis by Coty c1997

Nokomis by Coty: launched on March 1, 1997. According to a report in The Circle (June 1997), Coty's newest perfume, Nokomis, means “grandmother” in Ojibwe.

The name Nokomis, was a character of the grandmother of Hiawatha in the poem "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
By The Shores of Gitche Gumee
By The Shining Big Sea Water
Stood The Wigwam of Nokomis
Daughter of the Moon Nokomis




"The fragrance that speaks to a woman's soul."



Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is classified as a sheer modern floral oriental fragrance for women.
  • Top notes: peach, iris, heliotrope, moonflower, plum and raspberry
  • Middle notes: jasmine, damascena rose, tuberose, narcissus, ylang ylang, orange blossom
  • Base notes: sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli, amber and musk

 
The fragrance was first available only in a 0.25 oz Cologne Spray for a month, then on April 1, 1997, a larger sized cologne splash and spray debuted, and a shimmering body cream was then launched in September of that year.



Fate of the Fragrance:


I believe it was discontinued by 2003.
