Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée Chanel 2020

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.
