Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette: Chanel unveils the essence of a free and daring Woman. Gabrielle Chanel was one of the most influential women of her time. Indeed, we owe her one of the greatest French luxury brands, a guarantee of elegance and craftsmanship, a standard-bearer of French artisanship across the entire world.
Originally, in 1984, Coco was a legendary perfume created by Jacques Polge, the emblematic perfumer of the house of Chanel. Indeed, he devoted a major part of his career to the creation of sumptuous fragrances for this luxurious house. Through Coco, he highlighted Gabrielle Chanel's taste for the baroque and the Orient. Then, more than 20 years after this creation, he decided to reinterpret his original composition, giving rise to a new, more contemporary variation on this cult essence. This is how Coco Mademoiselle appeared in 2001, in a much lighter, fruitier, and airier register. Once again, in 2002, this juice was reworked, this time giving birth to the Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle. So, what about this third variation? Focus on its formula.
The freshness of citrus for an energetic opening
The Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle is intended for a cheerful, sparkling young woman, full of life, and endowed with a contagious optimism. Thus, this composition takes flight on a concentrate of vitality. To this end, and as if to energize daily life, citrus notes are omnipresent. The Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle notably contains Sicilian orange and Calabrian bergamot. Their sparkling breath is also refreshed with Sicilian grapefruit, which gives its formula a slight bitterness, both juicy and flavorful. Thanks to its many citrus notes, the Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle would almost recall the light softness of the eaux de Cologne of old. However, this is not the case at all… One will very easily notice that this perfume quickly gains in persistence and tenacity.
The Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle, a floral and exotic heart
The fruity register is further explored in its heart. However, it becomes more gourmand and exotic. The house of Chanel decides to make room for a sparkling lychee, transporting us with a single breath to an exquisite and distant elsewhere. This is paired with a generous and poetic floral bouquet. In this case, the Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle contains two of the most emblematic flowers in women's perfumery: Damask rose and Italian jasmine.
The comforting and enveloping base of Chanel's perfume
Gradually, in its sillage, the Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle shifts toward warmer and woodier notes. Indonesian patchouli comes to give the whole structure, while blending with a darker and more carnal Haitian vetiver. To add a sensual and heady touch to this perfume, Jacques Polge chose to incorporate a Bourbon vanilla. Coming directly from the island of Réunion, it displays one of the finest qualities in the world. Finally, white musk comes to brighten the whole with its subtlety and softness. The result is an oriental, floral, and airy accord. Unlike the original Coco, the Eau de Toilette Coco Mademoiselle is not heady and is perfectly suited to every season and every occasion.
