Madame Isabelle

I have both this and CM and to be honest, they are basically the same. I have sprayed them on each wrist and I really can’t tell them apart, CM is a tad stronger, that’s it. For me personally I kinda like this better, though😳 I am actually flabbergasted over the fact that this cost a fraction of the price and smells somewhat identical. I have obviously tested out the longevity prior to this side by side comparison test and it is really good. My skin has a tendency to devour perfumes, so perfumes that are so called beast’s, never is to me. CM is one of few perfumes that actually do last for good 8 hours, so I was thinking this would probably not last, considering it’s a cheap dupe. Oh boy was I wrong😅 This lasted for about 5 hours. That’s extraordinary for me and for it’s price - again, flabbergasted. Don’t hesitate to buy this. You will smell like the real deal for a fraction of the price.

I find this to be a beautiful fragrance. This perfume is strong and yet delicate at the same time. I can smell it, it's very there. It's gorgeous, but it isn't overpowering in the least. It is still soft and delicate. The rose smells just a tad like tea rose. It's blended with the jasmine in a beautiful way and they complement each other nicely. The patchouli is very soft. I really love patchouli and usually choose fragrances with a lot of it, but that wouldn't work in Madame Isabelle. This is a very classy and elegant scent, very lady-like. I'm not sure how it compares to Coco Mad. I would imagine Coco Mad to be a beautiful and complex fragrance. Madame Isabelle is very linear, IMO. It isn't complex, but it is predictable. You are going to smell wonderful all day long. This lasts a surprising amount of time for a cheapie. I'm quite pleased.

I tested this in Etos today. Being someone who never liked Chanel Coco Mademoiselle because it turns very masculine on me and this one does not. I know there are some differences in the notes with Madam Isabelle having fewer notes than Coco Mademoiselle. Madam Isabelle is more juicy sparkling and feminine rosy patchouli on me as a matter of fact it reminds me most of Diesel Fuel For Life for women, which is one of my favourite fragrances. I would even go as far as call it a dupe of that. EDIT: I had to return and get this bottle in very same day just before they closed. It is just so good and just for 10 euros.

A light and airy EdP full of woody moss, patchouli and a rosy jasmine this is an easy-to-wear everyday option for those who on occasion, like yours truly, want to wear something which feels quite structured in an uplifting, supportive way. Clearly inspired by Coco Mademoiselle it is, of course, not as complex, but is impressive for the price. I find I reach for it more often than I thought I would when I bought it which, to me, can only be a good thing. Recommended.

Great dupe of Coco Mad!! This is my 3rd Le Rive---and they are all pretty damn good! I had an In Style KO of Coco Mad and I used up the entire 3.4 oz spray in no time and then never found another one. I layer this with the shower gel, body cream and body mist of Bath and Body works Into the Night, which is their take on Coco Mad! I am super pleased with spending less than $ 20 and smelling like a much more expensive scent!!
