Coco Mademoiselle L’Extrait

Got half a bottle of Coco M from a friend as a handmedown since she was moving abroad and couldn't take all her perfumes with her. I must say I was blown away. It worked on sunny days as well as on grey autumn days for me - it changed its characted like a chameleon and adjusted to the settings: on a warm day it was incredibly fresh and upbeat, with the citrusy zest and lost of sparkle, and in colder temperatures I could feel the oh-so-much-needed spice surfacing and bringing the cosyness despite the obvious sharpness of the scent. I never really dared since then to blow the big bucks on it again - since it costs a fortune in any store and I was to busy chasing other bargains on ebay, where it doesn't come cheap either, but no other fresh scent I have tried since could beat it. I am seriously considering, after using up my 1001 bottles of summer scents that I already own, moving back to Coco M and sticking to it. It makes me feel special, no idea why. Perhaps this is why it has been so successfull. I only hope that on my skin it will sound a little different from what it is on others, since every second girl on the planet seems to own a bottle or two!

Just get this parfum. The manufacturing date is Mar'12, so maybe fall under this L'extrait version. It's less intense and little less sweet than the old version. Can be good or bad. The good way is reduce the chance for some people getting headache and more wearable for people live in tropical country; bad is some fans may be disappointing with the less sweet part. Reason maybe is removal of litchi notes replace with iris. Less sweet, more masculine. A perfume for strong women, who can do almost everything. Kinda little tomboyish. Had a shadow of the Classic Coco. If the Classic Coco was the cult fragrance in the 1980s, Coco Mademoiselle is the cult fragrance in the 2000s.

Favorite perfume for spring time its so clean and crisp but has an elegant touch to it. This is probably the only Chanel o like other than Chance because most Chanel fragrances are so pungent.

My experience is EDP and the pure parfum of this is the different thing. So don't worry.

My all time favorite all year round perfume.
