Coco Mademoiselle, just for you.

I see mixed reviews about this perfume, with some criticizing its price and performance, while others praise this lighter, more intimate version of Coco Mademoiselle. While I agree it’s expensive (as is everything from Chanel), I think it has its place in the perfume world.

I take this as an Eau de Cologne. Bright, light, fresh, and almost gone after 30 minutes—leaving just a trace of its presence on your skin. It can be used after bathing, as a pick-me-up in the summer heat, or as a lightweight perfume for when you’re at home.

L’Eau Privée starts big and bright with orange which, after about 5–10 minutes, turns into a transparent, dialled back version of the EdP’s signature floral heart, mixed with a clean, slightly powdery white musk. After about 30 minutes, it’s the faintest skin scent if not gone completely. I adore this perfume’s opening and development so I have no issues with re-applying when I notice it’s gone.

I’m not one for wearing perfume to bed, but this certainly has its place in my collection, and I’ve loved it since I bought it.

Softer and more agreeable Coco Mad

I have *such* bad luck with Chanel scents... their signature musk/patchouli combo comes across as truly *grating*, almost like sandpaper at the back of my throat. But! I tried this on a whim, assuming it would be too harsh (like the OG CM) and wow - this is softer, prettier, and more wearable for me. By taking out the majority of the patchouli and focusing on the soft florals, while keeping the citrusy opening, this truly smells like a dreamy interpretation on the modern classic. I'm excited to get a bottle of this one soon - because it's so light, it'll be perfect for cozy intimate events where people are close enough to smell me and say "mmm you smell nice."

Mademoiselle quite private?

Chanel has done it again - released another new offspring of a very well-known classic, and one wonders: when will they bring something completely new, perhaps something boldly different to our noses?

Well: fundamentally different, even very polarizing scents can be found elsewhere.
Chanel fragrances are, it seems to me, almost always and everywhere wearable. That's exactly what I like.
I wonder if this scent is a reference to the forced general retreat of this year's situation - although Chanel recommends this scent as a fragrance before going to sleep or even for bed linen.
Personally, I find my fragrances too precious to spray on bed linen - but there are different preferences in that regard.

As expected, you immediately recognize Mademoiselle upon spraying.
I smell citrusy fruitiness, the flowers, and perceive the oriental base note.
Gentler, less powdery, rather a bit creamy. Patchouli is not supposed to be in it, but I think I can detect hints of it; the fruity-chypre base character is present in L’Eau Privée as well.
The scent development is not very pronounced; the familiar scent remains in a subdued form.

But: it wouldn't be a Chanel if it didn't have longevity. It lasts for hours. Of course, one can say that you don't need it if you already have the other versions in your collection.
Personally, I like this quieter version. Perhaps it's an option for some of you if Coco Mademoiselle L’Eau Privée's sisters are too loud or too scratchy.
In my opinion, this gentler Mademoiselle can be wonderfully worn during the day for all activities or non-activities.

Expensive Body Spray

Perfume Advent Calendar, 1st Door:

Hello my dear perfume enthusiasts, I would like to open the perfume advent calendar with you, where I will introduce a wintry ladies', men's, or unisex fragrance every day. There will be reviews, unboxings, first impressions, and comparisons, and I am very excited if you join me.
In today's reindeer pouch, there is a sample of Coco Mademoiselle L’Eau Privée, the latest creation from Chanel. It is labeled "Eau Pour La Nuit," meaning "Water for the Night."

I always pay attention to all the L’Eau versions, as they announce a lighter version and usually also a lower concentration of the original scent. So it is here: to my disappointment, this is not even an Eau de Toilette, only the designation "Perfumed Spray for the Night" is noted on the tube. So, it’s a body spray.

After the Eau de Parfum Intense released in 2018, which is my preferred Mademoiselle, the Eau Privée now represents the second flanker of the popular Coco Mademoiselle, which in turn is a flanker of Coco. So here we have a flanker of a flanker. What a concept.

Anyone who takes a look at the fragrance notes will quickly realize that the L’Eau Privée has been reduced to the most prominent notes of the original, but the oriental touch is missing. Patchouli, Opoponax, tonka bean, and vanilla have been removed from the base notes and replaced with musk. Upon spraying, it becomes apparent that the Coco Mademoiselle DNA is recognizable, but the scent appears lighter and more relaxed overall. The longevity on my skin is a joke; after 30 minutes, I would need to reapply, while on clothing it lasts at least 2-4 hours, depending on the fabric type.

This Coco Mademoiselle variant for the night doesn’t smell bad, and I do like the iconic bottle, this time in a milk glass look, but one must hurry to fall asleep if they want to enjoy some of the scent. However, it might appeal to those who find the original version too dense, the intense version too sweet, and who have no problem investing in a rather expensive body spray.

As for me, I will stick with the Eau de Parfum Intense.

Thank you for reading,
Your Flaconesse

Enthusiasm. A whole 10 seconds long

Wonderful scent upon the first spray. A bit creamier than the original. But a few moments later, I simply couldn't smell the fragrance anymore. (3 sprays on the wrist) I would probably have to pour the entire 100ml bottle over my head to smell anything in the end. I neither have the money for that nor, thank God, have I ever owned more than a tester.
