What Coco Mademoiselle smells like

Coco Mademoiselle balances a sparkling citrus opening against rose, jasmine and a dry patchouli-vetiver base. It is sophisticated without being severe, and it manages to be appropriate at 9am and at 9pm.

Of everything in this catalogue it is perhaps the most reliable long-term purchase: instantly recognisable, rarely disliked, and consistent across decades. The Intense version is warmer and sweeter. Performs well in all but the hottest Australian weather.

Best for: Work, weddings, milestone gifts and one-bottle wardrobes.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Chanel Coco Mademoiselle last?

Expect roughly 7-9 hours on skin with moderate to strong projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.

Is Coco Mademoiselle suitable for the Australian climate?

It performs best in spring, autumn and winter. It is not our pick for a hot Australian summer — the composition becomes heavier as temperatures rise, so keep it for the cooler months.

Is Coco Mademoiselle unisex?

It is marketed for women, but fragrance has no rules — the floral character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.

How much does Coco Mademoiselle cost in Australia?

Approximately $200 - $270 (100ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
