Undeniably Coco Mademoiselle but with Less Citrus

Well, I finally stopped by Macy's today and tested CMI. As many reviewers have said, it is very close to CM EdP. The biggest difference is that the citrus has been toned down in the Intense formulation, and that makes it a bit smoother (and thus more acceptable to my nose). At least that is the main difference as far as I am concerned. I cannot tease out notes of amber, tonka, vanilla, or even rose, but I could identify it blindfolded as CM. Personally, I like it more than CM EdP simply because the citrus is so much less stringent.

Re performance, projection and sillage are very good. Longevity seems to be quite good, too. For the price point, it is a good fragrance with better than average performance. In fact, it out performs my recently purchased Frederic Malle fragrances by a mile. (Make of that what you will.)

However, if I wanted to recommend a Chanel fragrance to someone, excluding the exclusives, I would recommend both Coco EdT and Coco EdP over any version of Mademoiselle. Mademoiselle is certainly a nice fragrance, but there are so many nicer fragrances from which to choose. It is worth testing in any case.

The other Chanel’s sit down when she enters the room. Period

This was the second Chanel in my collection. I had been turned off by the heady aldehydes of no 5, but boy am I glad I did this fragrance.

First thing is first, on me, this fragrance needs to be applied on recently cleaned skin It’s top notes are fresh and citrusy with a sweet floral note that comes through as the fragrance warms. The lime is clearly identifiable in the bergamot and makes it quite a fresh but comfortable scent. just 4 sprays, once on each wrist and in the crook of each elbow.

It’s about 2 hours after I first applied the perfume, it has taken a slightly sweet, slightly edible, slightly bleachy scent. The bleach effect fades leaving the smooth sweet scent of a cocoa and patchouli aroma in the crooks of my elbows. When i first bought this(as a safe blind buy) I wasn’t wowed by it but needed a fragrance that would work for spring and the office... which this does i believe. Some people might find it too much in a close setting, but it’s butter smoothness and inoffensive composition makes it a remarkably safe but noticeable concoction.

After 4-5hrs it becomes a skin scent to my nose, however others tell me it is still there, and beautiful. After 8-9 hrs the scent bubble is much smaller but whiffs of it catch you at random moments. It becomes a lovers perfume, one where only those in bed with you can smell it too. I took a shower, my OH can not stand fragrance in bed sadly.

Deeper, darker, smoother, and more refined

I adore the EdP version and have for many years, but this is somehow even better to me. It takes out what I criticize and amps up what I love about the EdP.

As soon as you spray, you are hit with the unmistakable Coco Mademoiselle orange. But this time it’s stronger, smoother, and sweeter than the EdP. It loses its bright, brash start, but not to its detriment.

Soon you are greeted by a lush floral heart—one that is richer than what you would find in the EdP. I detect more rose than anything.

After a while the patchouli kicks in, and it’s much more abundant than in the EdP. If you love patchouli—especially Chanel’s style of patchouli—than this is for you. The base wears more earthy and less musky than the EdP, which I much prefer.

It’s hard to improve on something as popular as Coco Mademoiselle, Olivier Polge really knocked it out of the park.

Is this a strong perfume? Yes. Is the sillage that much greater than the original? Not really.

Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense opens up with less of the orange and other citrus notes, than the citrus had, but with an even stronger initial punch. While this is the intense version, to me, it isn’t that much more powerful than the original Coco Mademoiselle.

What I do get more of in the opening act is patchouli and amber. The citrus is there, but that bold and juicy orange is tamped down, and seems to share duties with other citrus notes much more so.

Intense is pretty heavy on the patchouli note, which I don’t usually love, but it works very well within this composition. The perfume has plenty of sweetness and smoothness from the vanilla, amber, and tonka bean notes.

Moving deeper into the wear, the jasmine and rose begin to come through more. In this edition, the jasmine still has predominance over the rose, but the rose is present and noticeable.

Again, the original is not only more citrus dominant, but also has a greater use of the floral notes.

Mademoiselle Intense finally finishes its development with an amber, patchouli, and vanilla blend. I do still get jasmine on my skin, at this point, but it’s basically just supporting those three notes.

A simpler version of the EDP

I wore Coco Mademoiselle EDP as my signature scent from its release date. Once the scent gained popularity, it put me off wearing it completely. My bottle has mostly been sitting untouched in the dark since.

I was excited to try the intense version, hoping it would be something a bit different and maybe ignite my passion for this scent again. For me this is just nice and nothing more. I don’t find the intense different enough to the EDP. I feel this is just the a subdued version of the original formula, with some notes removed. I find it less complex, weaker and a bit flat actually. If this had just been a little more different, more complex and a bit darker, it would have won me over but this doesn’t beat the EDP. Maybe I’ll get my old bottle back in circulation. Thankfully it still smells as it should, even after all these years.
