Sanderling

I finally got this in the mail and I love it! I don't have too much experience with Coco Mademoiselle aside from that one time I tested it in the mall, but I had Miss Dior EDP, and I find that the drydown of this is similar to that of Miss Dior EDP. Sanderling scared me when I first sprayed it because it sort of smelled like some of my mom's older scents that have rose and carnation, but then it quickly changed (in 1-2mins) to a scent that smells like Miss Dior EDP. But it didn't distinctly smell like rose in the beginning, just dark and more mature, and this really isn't a rose scent aside from the first minute or two, so if you don't like rose, I'd still recommend. I don't know, patchouli is not in the notes, but in the middle of this scent's development cycle, I can distinctly smell Miss Dior's green, almost minty patchouli wafting up to my nostrils. However, when comparing this scent to Coco Mademoiselle, I can understand why you'd say this has no patchouli because the patchouli in Coco Mademoiselle is very strong and dirty on my skin. I also don't find this scent sharp in a citrusy way or otherwise, but it is definitely a floral scent (so it's less fruity and juicy than Miss Dior or Coco Mademoiselle), and it does have a sweetness to it. As the scent wears, the tagetes become more prominent, and the scent becomes drier and musky. A bit like dryer sheets, but as a person who dislikes the dryer sheet vibe, I have to say that this is soft and pleasant and clean. The tagetes are the most distinct flower in this scent, and the other flowers blend seamlessly. The tagetes are what differentiate this from Coco Mad and Miss Dior, but you only really smell them if you sniff your wrist close up, so I can understand why others smelling you would think it's Coco Mad. The drydown really just smells exactly like Miss Dior's. Ooh, also, Miss Dior always gives me a headache, but this does not! However, unfortunately, this does not last at all, and I'm not one to complain about longevity. It seriously lasts for around 1 hour. But! You really can't beat the scent itself for the price...it's so classy. It's such a big bottle and I only paid $14 for it. I wouldn't wear Coco Mad to work or school because it can get a bit strong, but I would totally wear this. There's no reason not to buy it. Just do it. Edit: This is great layered with Molinard Vanille!

Chanel mademoiselle was my signature perfume when I was younger so I know it very good.sanderling looks like mademoiselle but not very much.if I spray two of them with close eyes it's easy to say which one is Chanel and which one is Sanderling.but I think it's a good thing that Sanderling is not really a copy.I can enjoy both of them Chanel mademoiselle is mix of flowers and citrus and patchouli.Sanderling is mix of flowers and citrus too but less citrus and no patchouli.instead there is musk and vanilla and woods.mademoiselle is much much sharper and stronger.Sanderling is more soft and simple.I like that mademoiselle has a character and people can notice it but it's not my signature now because too much citrus and patchouli make it sharp and give me headache.no headache in Sanderling.also there is a flower in Sanderling that smells very good.maybe targets.I don't know.Sanderling smells cleaner.Sanderling is four season perfume but I like it more in spring.sillage of Chanel is better very much.Sanderling is moderate but longevity is good.I like it and I think it's a very good perfume.you can buy it if you like mademoiselle or not.if you want a cheap perfume that smells good and everybody like it and you can use it always Sanderling is good for you شنل مادمادل سالها عطر امضای من بود برای همین خیلی خوب می شناسمش.ساندرلینگ شبیهش هست اما نه خیلی.اصلا نمیشه گفت کپی مادمازل هست و این به نظر من چیز خوبی هست.میشه از هردو لذت برد.شنل مادمازل میکس گلها و مرکبات و نعنای هندی هست.ساندرلینگ میکس گلها هست با مرکبات خیلی کمتر و بدون پچولی.مادمازل شارپ تر و قوی تر و پیچیده تر هست.ساندرلینگ ملایم تر و ساده تر هست و بخاطر ملایم بودنش برعکس مادمازل سردرد ایجاد نمی کند.بوی تمیزتری هم دارذ.مثل مادمازل چهارفصل هست مخصوصا بهار.پخش خیلی کمتر دارد اما ماندگاری خوب.اگه یک عطر ارزون اما خوشبو که همه خوششون بیاد و همیشه بشه استفاده کرد خواسته باشید چه مادمازل را دوست دارید چه نه می تونید سندرلینگ را بخرید ۸/۱۰ 8/10

I recieved this little treasure from Fragrance Alley yesterday and I do not regret my blind buy one bit!!thanks to the skilled parfum critics here, a spot on description of Sanderling was provided for me to make an educated decision. $16.00 and change later, (whoohoo do I loooove a quality bargain!) this gem was on my dresser. Let me begin by saying I have never experienced Coco M so I am judging Sanderling purely on it's own merits and beauty! Crisp, zesty and refreshing are the bergamot and green notes that open the show, after shining brightly they graciously step aside to make way for the gorgeous floral heart.. and what an entrance they make.. full bloom roses, clean soapy jasmin and fragrant lilac mingle and dance a fragrant ballet around my wrists wafting up to my nostrils, keeping me enthralled till the finale of sensual musky woods and the last little trail of sweet vanilla. Bravo, bravissimo!! A delightful performance Yves de Sistelle Sanderling, I give you a standing ovation for the fragrance as a whole and an 8/10 for sillage 9/10 for lasting power Good show!

HMMMMMMMMM. WONDERFUL! I love Sanderling. Usually my heart beats faster for sweet, balsamic, vanilla like fragrances, but Sanderling is a gorgeous floral scent. Not overbearing, but surrounds you nicely in a light, yet very noticeable way, and the only flower gal where I have back up bottles of. You can't beat the price. She carries herself like a fragrance 4 times the price. I wear her when I want to be safe, when I want to smell great without being right under people's nose with a big statement frag. This is what I grab for when I visit my boyfriend's parents, or for a job interview. Even though she is less flamboyant than me and the scents that make me go crazy, she is by no means a wall flower. Sanderling is a really great scent for the right occasions with awesome longevity.

Never previously tried or owned CM but this perfume on it's own is captivating. Sumptuous florals intermingled with fresh greens, my senses are tingling all over. Almost like walking through a floral garden with freshly cut lawn. About 10 mins in I can really smell the geranium aspect in background. This is fantastically done and I cannot believe how cheap it is for the quality ($20 for the set with body cream, what the?!?!) If only the international postage was so cheap as well... I agree with the person who says that this can be worn by virtually anyone. I would be slightly more inclined to wear this during the Spring/Summer months, but I'm sure it could work either day or evening.

I also got this on reviews alone, that are informative, truthful, and seem to have covered every aspect of this perfume that I might consider important before a purchase. This is a very nice perfume. If Coco Mademoiselle were only 20.00.....even 10.00 more than this perfume, I would still buy Sanderling. That isn't to say I don't like Coco Mademoiselle, it's to say that Sanderling is every bit as lovely and special, to me. I must say, there are some very direct and specific people here that make me look forward to reading their reviews, agreeing or disagreeing. I'm going to go overdose on fumes now. If I am found dead, you will know not to buy what I smell like!

I blind bought this... and I LOVE it. It does smell very similar to Chanel Mademoiselle, though not as strong. It smells expensive, only a little sweet. To the common nose, most people would completely not be able to tell the difference unless they compared the two directly. Sillage is exactly what I like: just a little bit more than arms length, though at that distance, the scent is very faint. So that when your significant other comes closer, he can smell it very clearly... but for everyone else, it is not overwhelming them at all. Currently my favorite perfume next to CK Beauty, out of the ones I own.

This does indeed remind me of Coco Mademoiselle. I like this better though, on me it's a bit fruitier and just a bit sweeter than CM. And you can't beat the price, I paid a little under 10 euros for 100 ml. Excellent! [eta] I don't find this similar to Chance or Miss Dior Cherie at all. Chance just smells totally different to me and MDC to my nose is all about sweet strawberry. [eta2] I've been wearing this all day and the sillage and longevity are both very good. I put 3 sprays on at around 11:30 am and my husband says he could still smell it before I took a shower at 9:15 pm. This stuff is awesome!

Yes, I agree ! Sanderling is SO MUCH better than Chanel Coco Mademoiselle ! The fragrance is identical to Coco Mademoiselle, just as classy. If anything, Sanderling is actually a smoother, richer blend. Even friends and family can't tell any difference between CM and Sanderling. Sanderling has better silage and longevity, and smells expensive ! It's so much more feminine than Coco Mademoiselle ! A great secret treasure found at a wonderfully affordable price !

This just arrived at my front door--blind buy as result of glowing reviews on this site--and I must say, "Wow!!"--This is Coco Mademoiselle for $20.00. Unbelievable! I wear CM frequently, but of course it's $75.00 a bottle easily. I've only had this on for 2 hours, so I might follow-up later, regarding longevity. Projection is probably 5 feet. Grab this one if you're a Chanel fan!!

I bought it based on fragrantica reviews and it was a perfect choice! It is, indeed, very similar to coco mademoiselle, which I love! For those who want a CM feeling without spending too much, sanderling is the perfect choice! Loved it! Excelente perfume, muito parecido com o coco mademoiselle e beeemm mais barato! Vale a pena!

I personally have never smelled Coco Mademoiselle but I will say this is "Chanel like". I have had several other Chanel perfumes either I owned or sampled. This is a good one. Kind of an off choice, not from a well known perfumer but I am happy I bought it! I got this for a song on Overstock! ♥ Happy perfuming!

I decided to buy this thanks to a few recommendations from others on here and I must say,wow!This fragrance is beautiful and so sophisticated the longevity is great and the silage I would say is moderate.I was afraid this would smell too clean and it doesn't;bound to get you compliments.

One of the best blind buys ever. This scent is fantastic, fresh and classy in every way. I am so happy I purchased this. It also seems to have good sillage and lasting power. I would recommend this one to anyone who is thinking about it. I do sense a Chanel likeness in this perfume.

Sanderling is very similar to Coco Mademoiselle, not quite as strong (and no patchouli note), or as long lasting. I applied 3 hours ago, and I can just barely detect it on my arm. It is a good value, so reapply to your hearts content. Bottle is nice too.

Definitely similar to Coco Mademoiselle! I absolutely love this scent, its lovely and lasts a long time on me! Smells very expensive however the price is very reasonable compared to Coco. Will definitely repurchase!

And very funny, but I had an extra backup of this one that I totally forgot about! For you ladies loving Coco Mademoiselle and Miss Dior Cherie but would like a more affordable alternative go for this one!

I just received this today and love it. My husband bought me Madamemoiselle for our anniversary but I have only worn it twice because of the price. This can be my daily go to. I love it.

I just smell a warm bergamot and marigold combo. Gives me the black tea vibe. I spray it super freely but the longevity is weak.

What aan amazing review Citadel!

I bought this a month ago when I ran out of Coco Mad, and being just before christmas I couldnt afford to spend £100 on a 100ml bottle of CM....So I tried Sanderling after reading these reviews. I have to say that I love Sanderling, and to me it's as good as it gets when comparing it to CM, I wont be buying CM anymore as this is every bit as beautiful. I know it is missing the Patchouli, and I love Patchouli, so I sometimes do as lovealwaysalisa suggested below and use a little Patchouli essential Oil on my skin before spraying Sanderling, which then makes it (to my nose) an absolute 100% CM likeness. I dont always use the Patchouli oil, becuase Sanderling is such a pretty perfume, but for times that I really need a Patchouli fix, that's what I do. I have a large perfume collection so perhaps don't wear CM on a daily basis, so for me it is a perfect likeness when wearing occasionally, but for someone that uses CM regularly they MAY or may not tell a difference, I can't say, but what I can say is I have worn Sanderling on one wrist and CM on the other and I really cannot tell them apart..... just ONE thing is different..... the Sanderling lingers long after the CM has disappeared, which can only be a good thing. One other perfume to layer with Sanderling is a very light dab of Al-Rehab Choco-Musk.... OMG the mixture of the 2 perfumes are fabulous. I also need to add that some people were saying that longevity is not good, well we're all different, but it lasts on me for approx 6 hours...not too shabby...BUT for those saying it lasts for only 2 hours...Chanels re-formulations of Coco Mad are lasting much less than that, so IF you're buying this as a dupe for Coco Mad, then it DOES last longer than the real Chanel... people might be comparing to vintage Chanels, but the NEW Chanels are terrible for their lasting power, so Sanderling wins on that score.

Floral, light citrus, wood notes is what I get from this with a dry down that adds a little vanilla and a powdery vibe. It does smell SO SIMILAR to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (which was on my want list but I didn't want to pay over $100 for a big bottle). Sanderling is a GREAT alternative. On me the longevity is about 6 hrs where I can still smell it. Sillage is good, where people within a couple feet can smell me. I love this fragrance. I don't get that dose of patchouli unfortunately, since there is none in Sanderling but there is something that gives off a similar less protruding smell. That can be either a good or bad thing depending on whether you like patchouli as much as me or not. I bought a big 3.3 oz bottle of Sanderling for $13.99 and free shipping. a great cheapie fragrance for those who have Chanel taste but not the budget! :) I also really like the look of the bottle and it's cap. There is an elegance to it. I'd personally wear this any season of the year day or night, but see it;s appeal as a spring/summer scent. But I prefer it more in fall and winter because it can be a little too strong for me in the heat. NOTE: Sometimes I put on a base of actual patchouli oil and spray this over when I really miss that patchouli that CM has. Works well.

I can't quite make up my mind about Sanderling. The lilac note is dominant for me, and for once does not have that artificial chewy note that I so dislike. The rose and marigold are perfectly balanced with the lilac, creating (on my skin) a slightly bitter purple tone, very floral, round, rich, and velvety. The woods seem to be just that- undestinguished "wood" notes, which is perhaps why I can't say that I love this. I wish that Sanderling had a clear cedar and sandalwood base- that would improve this scent for me, adding nuance and depth. As it is, I feel like Sanderling contains a synthetic wood note, and it is just too bland for my taste. A clear base is required to balance the heady florals, and the white musk and vanilla that show up in the dry down. Overall, if you like very "purple" accords, heavy florals, and do not care for wood much, this may be a good scent for you. I am still on the fence about this scent. Parts of it I like very much, but the florals are just a little too much, without a solid base. I strongly recommend testing before buying. This is worth trying, but I'm not sure that it's a good fit for everyone...or maybe it's just not a good fit for me.

I like this but it's not a favorite; it seems best for fall, as it's not a fresh-airy-citrusy scent at all. It seems like the marigold (tagetes) thing keeps this one down to earth, even gives it kind of a hygienic-dirty feel. This smells quite a bit like Coco Mademoiselle from what I remember. I never liked that one enough to actually purchase, but I was glad to have bought this, it seems a bit less citrusy up top and lacking something in the base that CM had, without patchouli or something. I don't think it lasts as long or has the projection that CM has, but at this price I don't mind, especially as it's not a favorite. I actually bought this perfume because I think the bottle is pretty, and I love the name (sanderlings are cute little birds that I always see along the beach running along the waterline when I vacation on the Gulf Coast.) I would guess in this case it's someone's name, but I can still just think of the cute little birds when I wear it.

Chanel coco mademoiselle was never a favorite for me.too much citrus patchouli for my taste no wonder that I like sanderling a million times more I completely agree with below review.sanderling is a cheap perfume which doesn't smell cheap even a little and it's versatile.some people get a dirty/urine like smell from mademoiselle on the contrary sanderling has a clean scent(not too much clean and detergent like)thanks to it's musky florals ‌ل can be a good gift and an everyday fragrance سندرلینگ شباهت زیادی به مادمازل داره اما بشخصه خیلی بیشتر دوسش دارم چون هیچ خبری از پچولی مرکباتی مادمازل نیست.یه عطر معتدل،همه پسند و بسیار پرکاربرده که باتوجه به قیمتش ارزش خرید بالایی داره.درست برعکس مادمازل که بعضا ازش بوی اردار مانند و کثیفی میگیرن،سندرلینگ رایحه تمیز و نازی داره.درصورتیکه برعکس،ساندرلینگ رایحه تمیزی داره اگه به ترکیبی از ترنج و گلهای ملایم همراه با نت های پایه کافی که کمی عمق و بلوغ به عطر اضافه کنن،علاقه ندید حتما امتحانش کید

I love the presentation of the rose in Sanderling. As someone who is not a real fan of rose scents unless coming from an actual flower, I am really impressed by the smooth musky rose note. The beautiful citrus opening is accompanied by a honeyed scent from the tagetes (marigold) which gives the florals some depth. What a perfectly becoming, classy fragrance. It's flowers are clean, it's sillage is moderate and it has decent lasting power. I imagine this would suit almost any woman, for almost any occasion. I consider myself lucky that I haven't crossed paths very often with Yves de Sistelle's Sanderling, which is practically impossible to find where I live in Australia, nor Chanel's hugely popular Coco Mademoiselle, so both are fresh and new to me. Thank you CathieH for the decant. I will wear it with pleasure!

This is mainly just informational for those who don't know. The perfume compared to sanderling is not Coco Mademoiselle eau de parfum, it is Coco Mademoiselle pure parfum. As in the kind that only comes in a teeny tiny bottle, it's a perfume extract with different notes including a heavy helping of lychee. I do think this smells like coco mademoiselle pure parfum that I was lucky enough to be able to try. If you want something like the luxury extract this would be a great buy. Honestly it's not nearly as beautiful as chanel, but what do you expect when you're comparing $20 to a mL and $20 for a whole bottle? Very nice almost fruity, sweet rose, lilac, and the green notes are very deep almost like patchouli. I gave it to my mom because she REALLY liked it but I am a little bit envious.

A $20, 100ml bottle of perfume, largely compared to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle...I couldn't resist! I don't think this was meant to be a dupe? Not sure. But it smells like Mademoiselle's sister, without a doubt. On my skin, it lasts just as long as CM, but the projection isn't quite there unless sprayed heavily. Sanderling has a slightly rougher first opening, and it's missing that gorgeous underlying sweetness that I adore in CM. But don't worry, for $20, I think only a regular Mademoiselle wearer would be able to pick that up, but even then, it would be tough. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. If you can't afford Mademoiselle or would like to save some dollars, while still smelling just as sophisticated, go for this. You won't be disappointed.

I bought this based on the reviews here and I must say that I concur: this is quite similar to Coco Mademoiselle - without the dominant patchouli note. Sanderling is a lighter fragrance than CM, less in the way of sillage, longevity is good. After the first hour or so, Sanderling dries down to a noticeable skin scent which continues to last for quite a while. It's not a carbon copy of CM to be sure, but Sanderling has a similar classy feel to it which is nice. Overall, a great value - smells much more expensive than what I paid for it and I'm quite pleased with this blind buy. Thanks to all who recommended it. (Edited to add: When I sniff my wrists, Sanderling makes my nose a little stuffy, which does not happen with CM. Even so, I do like this.)

I was curious about how this one was going to treat the tagetes. I generally like lilac in fragrances. So, I bought unsniffed and can't say I'm disappointed. Although not particularly transported, either. I like the fresh opening - with the tagetes offering some bottom and interest. The florals enter and interact in a really pleasant way. I really enjoy this phase. Then something happens that I don't so much appreciate. It's the interaction between the musk and tagetes on my skin in the drydown. The effect is a bit masculine. It's not something I was expecting. Today is a pretty warm day. It may be different on cooler day or in the fall. It comes at a really good price point, so if it doesn't work out, I won't begrudge the outlay.

Sanderling is similar to, but not a dupe for, Coco Mademoiselle. It's like a choir missing some of its voices-the song just can't sound the same. There are the floral notes, you can smell lilac and a hint of rose, then the marigold joins in with some bitterness and almost drowns them out. I smell no discernible woods. But there are positives- for an hour or so you get the impression of CM...but, it is not strong or balanced enough to stay together. As a fragrance by itself with no comparisons to any other, it is quite nice. The bottle is heavy and very pretty, the longevity and sillage are average, but the price is amazing-less than $20 for over 3 ounces. You can spray away all day long. So I do.

This scent confuses me. I was about to throw it in the Goodwill box because it was so harsh when I originally tried it but gave it one more spray. Today it's an interesting scent with a lot of depth. It opens with a pleasantly medicinal note, probably the combination of wood and tincture of rose, eventually moving into a citrusy floral, ultimately settling into a floral musky ending. The price is sensational too. I'm guessing this does better in colder weather and is very dependent on skin and body chemistry. In any case, isn't it worth trying for $15 for EDP? Sillage: soft, 1-2 ft Longevity: reasonable, 3-4 hours Fabulosity: a vase of carnations Value to price: fabulous 6/10

I am wearing Sanderling since this morning. At the first impression I thought it a good, but a little annoying smell. The blend between lilac and musk in the beginning is to much for me, but one hour later I was enjoying wearing. Musk overcomes the purple note, that fades a little and turns the fragrance soft showing a hint of vanilla that I adore. 6 hours later all I got is musk, vanilla and lilac. I never have smelled Chanel Mademoiselle before, so I found similarity with Miss Dior Cherrie. I think that in a week I will be loving it. Definitely not for everybody. Try before you buy.

This one was a pleasant blind buy. 🥰 It whispers clean sophistication, with chypre florals and green, aromatic vibes. It's not a Coco Mademoiselle dupe... more like CM's more feminine cousin, without the patchouli note that doesn't agree with my skin. Sometimes, the projection and longevity don't feel strong enough, but at $17 a 3.4 bottle, you can literally bathe in this stuff, and it's worth every penny. Sanderling is perfect for when I want to feel effortlessly elegant... luxurious without doing too much. Not too sweet, not too mature. Simply timeless.

I think this has a similar vibe to Coco Mademoiselle, although not as long lasting and definitely linear. A simple nice scent. Where as CM would be heavy on the patch, this one focuses on the citrus. The body spray version of CM if you will. I used up my entire bottle in the summer. Only reason I didn't repurchase was because the scent only lasts like 4 hours on the skin and vanishes. A solid like nevertheless! On the plus side: the average Joe could not tell these 2 scents apart from me the entire time I owned both so there's that.

I wouldn't spent 100$ for Chanel CM, but CM is a definitely a scent every perfume lover should have and at least try. Sanderling is very similar with CM,i would say little softer. I got it after all good reviews and that was a good shot. I wore it today and everybody thought that is CM, so you still smell like a 100 bucks perfume but for less less then that You should get this one if you like CM, but cant afford it, the quality and the lasting power are as good as CM. One more time again i love Fragrantica!

I absolutely love this perfume. I bought it about 6 months ago and I still adore it. It definetly smells like Coco Mademoiselle, but maybe even a little better. Usually I spray it on around 8 o'clock in the morning and when I get in the shower around 11 o'clock at night I can still smell it. I definetly recommend this perfume. It's an amazing scent that lasts all day without reaplying. It's 100 ml and costs only €9,99 here in the Netherlands.

I blind bought this today, given so many people think it's very similar/identical to Coco Mad (my all time fav). I do think they are slightly alike, just without the patchouli, more rose and slightly soapy florals. I think it's a very nice frag, it comes for a decent price and I don't regret buying it; But for me CM is a 'love' and this is a 'like', there is a distinct difference in smell on my skin.

Thank you, Minousdepoes. I just bought my bottle of Sanderling at "The Kijkshop" for 9,95 euro (for 100 ml !!) and it to my nose it is exactly similar to Coco Mademoiselle. And such a beautiful bottle... Two friends of mine bought it as well and agree that it is similar to Coco Mademoiselle!

Similar to CM.... So TRUE !!! I 've ordered a 3.4oz bottle only for $16. and It's 90% similar to CM. 10-15 min after spraying,I can smell Some different note than CM. but those two almost identical. the staying power is good too. A perfect inexpensive alternative for CM lovers :)

It does smell a lot like Coco Mademoiselle in the opening and also in the middle part, but it lacks Coco Mademoiselle's dept and its gorgeous dry down. If Coco Mademoiselle is in 3D, then Sanderling is like a 2D image of it; nice but not enough.

Definitely agree with the ideas of soft and delicate. Inoffensive and chic. Really subtle rose notes, amongst light spice and wooden notes. Other floral notes seem to be subdued. Ideal for winter/fall/autumn, evening or day.

Indeed pretty similar to Coco Mademoiselle. In holland we have the "KIJKSHOP" and the price there is at this moment 9,95 Euro So al NL sandeling lovers, take your chance.

I bought a bottle today at the Kijkshop, for 9,99 euro's!, thanks to the reviews here! Great smell!!

This scent makes me so happy. You're practically wearing Coco's smile on you.

I have a new bottle of Sanderling EDP for women. In my opinion, it does not smell like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. It doesn't smell like any Chanel fragrance. I don't think it even comes close. I am not a fan of Coco Mademoiselle either. I do have experience with it. Sanderling may be similar to Yves Rocher's So Elixir EDP for women. Others have compared So Elixir to Coco Mademoiselle as well. I think there is more similarity, but neither of these fragrances are CM dupes or even close to being dupes. Sanderling is a sharp, unsettling floral that smells like it contains some patchouli. Although, I see no patchouli listed in the notes section. You can include John Varvatos for women in this group of fragrances some people compare to Coco Mademoiselle. I own all three, and none of them really capture the high quality, carefully crafted elegance of Chanel. John Varvatos, Sanderling, and So Elixir are all perfectly nice. Please do not expect too much if you are trying to replace your Chanel Coco Mademoiselle with one of these fragrances.

I'm surprised that it really smells like a classic and it not as bad as I thought. For such an inexpensive scent it's quite interesting. I'm not sure if I would like to have such a big bottle though. I guess I'll first have to re-test it on my skin. Today I only tested it on paper. PS: I re-tested it again on skin. On me it developed a sort of harsh note and my boyfriend didn't like it. So it's not for me.

Not a bad fragrance for this price but I don't like it. It's so sweet and floral. Lilac and jasmine notes are so much and made it a warm fragrance to me! I think it's not suitable for summer. Overall I don't know why it smells like honey to me!

Doesn’t have and any staying power at all. I threw my bottle away!

I hate being a snark in the comments section but this scent is utter disappointment. Super poor projection and longevity, lasted only 2 hours on my skin. It's just for someone desperate to have a Coco Mademoiselle dupe but can't have access to Ajmal Raindrops.
