Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée

Coco Mademoiselle L’Eau Privée is the night fragrance Olivier Polge composed for Chanel in 2020, his first scent conceived for the night. The house describes it as a soft, sensual fruity amber: an accord of jasmine absolute and rose petals brings out the musky notes of Coco Mademoiselle, lit up by orange.

Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée

Where to buy

Chanel launched Coco Mademoiselle L’Eau Privée at the end of August 2020, nineteen years after Coco Mademoiselle. Olivier Polge, the house’s perfumer-creator, signs here for the first time a fragrance conceived for the night, a scent to wear before going to bed.

A light, delicate version

The perfumer says he wanted a light, delicate version of Coco Mademoiselle, imagined as a night fragrance, “a veil of softness and sensuality.” At the launch, he described it as a watercolor, a blurred veil for the skin and the sheets.

A fruity amber for the night

Chanel presents L’Eau Privée as a soft, sensual fruity amber created especially for the night, and as the ultimate Coco Mademoiselle gesture before bedtime. In English, the house speaks of a delicate interpretation of the line, to be worn at night, behind closed doors.

An evening ritual

The house recommends applying it to the pulse points, where the body is warmest: wrists, behind the ears, the hollow of the neckline and the nape of the neck. It can also be applied to the hair and extends the Coco Mademoiselle scented ritual for bath and body.

A night fragrance

Chanel sells it under the name eau pour la nuit, without classing it among its eaux de toilette or eaux de parfum. According to the house, its light formula allows for an ample, generous application, to be renewed every evening.

Within the Coco Mademoiselle line

L’Eau Privée follows the 2001 eau de parfum, the 2002 eau de toilette and the 2018 Intense eau de parfum. Chanel now counts it among the four interpretations of its amber signature, alongside the eau de parfum, the Intense and Crush Absolu, released in 2026.

What critics say

A mixed reception: Sophie Normand sees a delicate veil, faithful to the original, in which patchouli remains noticeable; Thomas Dunckley finds it very pretty but a little bland, the patchouli almost erased behind white musks, and considers it superfluous for anyone who already loves Coco Mademoiselle.

Keira Knightley, 2020

Keira Knightley, the face of Coco Mademoiselle since 2007, embodies L’Eau Privée in a film unveiled at the end of August 2020.

For the launch, Chanel called on Keira Knightley, the face of Coco Mademoiselle since 2007. The campaign film was unveiled at the end of August 2020, as the fragrance arrived in stores.

The house shows the actress in a game of seduction played out in the dead of night, more daring than ever. She takes up the role of the elegant, mysterious seductress she plays in the line’s films, in a more intimate world attuned to a fragrance conceived for the night.
