Coco Mademoiselle Intense

Coco Mademoiselle Intense is the intense eau de parfum Olivier Polge composed for Chanel in 2018, seventeen years after his father’s original. The house describes it as a woody amber oriental with a bold character: an extreme dose of patchouli, an amber accord of tonka bean and Madagascar vanilla, rose, jasmine, and citrus.

Chanel launched Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense in February 2018, as a preview in a few countries before wider distribution at the end of the month. The fragrance is signed by Olivier Polge, the house’s perfumer-creator, who replaced his father Jacques, author of Coco Mademoiselle, in 2015.

Pushing patchouli to the extreme

Olivier Polge says he wanted to stay close to the original formula while giving it a new dimension. He explains that he increased the proportions of the patchouli fractions, to the extreme, without distorting the freshness of the top.

Chanel presents the Intense as a new facet of Coco Mademoiselle’s personality, more powerful, deeper, and more addictive. The house sees in it the trail of a playful, rebellious woman, insolently free to reinvent herself day after day.

Keira Knightley, ten years on

For the launch, Keira Knightley, the face of the fragrance since 2007, shot a new film and reprised the playful role of her previous campaigns, in a carefree game of seduction. The actress recalls signing with the house at twenty-one.
