Chanel is not just a brand. And Coco Mademoiselle is not just a perfume. It is also not mainstream in the true sense. Chanel and everything from this house stands for itself. For elegance, class, style, and consistency.

Coco Mademoiselle Le Parfum reflects the credo of the house of Chanel like no other fragrance. Wearable for all generations, in every season, and for all occasions. For a long time, I didn't want to join the millions of women who love it and buy it again and again. But now the beautiful bottle is also in my collection.

The crisp freshness and this unmistakable Chanel DNA seem to have some magical quality. After trying the Intense version, I must say that I prefer Coco Mademoiselle Le Parfum. It feels more authentic to me. I still need to test the longevity, but I noticed it on my arm for 6 - 8 hours.

Coco Mademoiselle Le Parfum polarizes and is therefore discussed time and again. That's a good thing, because what would the world be like without talking about Chanel? Those who do not like the fragrance have so many other opportunities to fall in love with Chanel. For me, it will likely always remain in my collection.

Whenever spring arrives, Do Son moves a few rows forward again. Although my love for tuberose has actually passed, whenever I want to smell like a sea of flowers, as one experiences on warm days in a park, I spray it on. I should note that I still have the fragrance from 2013. I can't say if it still smells the same today. All in all, very feminine and recommended for lovers of tuberose floral scents.

The little black one. This scent has been with me for about 10 years. Sometimes I don't wear it for weeks. And then suddenly every day. It may not be the best Guerlain fragrance of all time in this price range. But still completely underrated.

I love the name and the bottle alone. When I spray it on, I immediately get a feeling of being enveloped. I don't really smell the licorice that some describe. It might be a little scratchy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I bought it at the Osswald perfumery when I lived in Switzerland. One of the most well-known perfumeries, although more for luxury scents of all kinds. And back then, as a total fragrance novice, I bought it at the same time as Fracas, which was probably Madonna's signature scent. As a child of the 80s, I had to wear that too. I couldn't explain the price difference at the time. And today, my tuberose phase is also over.

But back to La Petite Robe Noir (2012). The time to wear it will soon be over again, as I really perceive it as wintry and a scent for colder days. Which of course doesn't exclude wearing it whenever you want.

Guerlain is and remains one of my favorite houses. Especially because of their incredible range of fragrances. Anyone who doesn't find a suitable scent here, whether designer or niche, probably hasn't tested much yet. You can start with this one. Or remind yourself of it. For me, it will probably always remain in the collection.

Outside, eternal gray, and one doesn't think about wearing a gray fragrance as well. But then a miracle happens. Instantly, the gray of the sky no longer feels so oppressive; somehow, the world around me calms down when I wear this scent.

First, I experience a bitter, fresh, sharp - then a creamy, tranquil, balanced olfactory experience. The fragrance envelops me and provides an invisible wall against the adversities of gray everyday life.

I never want to be without it again. It helps me endure cold, gray days better and serves as a noble aromatherapy. Thank you, David Benedek and Mathilde Bijaoui…

Longing for balmy summer evenings in colorful gardens, on tropical beaches, on islands of dreams. White dress and straw hat, the Ferrero Raffaello lady strolls along the South Sea beach, the world appears carefree and cheerful.

This fragrance may not be the most modern summer scent, but precisely for that reason, it provides comfort and warmth. It brings back memories of Italy in the 80s, of youth and songs like La Isla Bonita by Madonna. Despite the white floral bouquet, it is also a bit fruity. Somehow, I sense a hint of peach in the dry down. Later, it becomes softly floral and vanilla. Coconut is only lightly in the background. A scent that conveys this gentle and tropical mood as it develops. Enveloping like a South Sea flower crown.

One dresses elegantly for the beach bar in the evening and enjoys the sunset. Later, one sprays again to remember the day. The next morning, one wakes up and still perceives it a little. A smile in the morning sun and a new, carefree day of a South Sea dream begins. With a few spritzes, one embraces the whole world again. Life is beautiful.
