Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée

A blurred veil for Sophie Normand

On August 27, 2020, Sophie Normand, who writes for Fragrantica, described L’Eau Privée as the weave of Coco Mademoiselle laid down as a blurred veil. She found it less fruity than the original, carried by citrus and by a patchouli noticeable from the very first notes.

Around the rose and jasmine, she noted white musks, the woody warmth of patchouli and a discreet touch of ambroxan. She saw it as a veil for the night, faithful to the original, with a more hushed presence, far from the ceremony of seduction.

Very pretty but superfluous for Thomas Dunckley

On September 28, 2020, Thomas Dunckley, author of The Candy Perfume Boy, described an opening of misty mandarin and a velvety jasmine and rose, with a clean, sweet floral character. The massive patchouli of the original has all but disappeared beneath white musks.

He found the result very pretty, a little bland, and preferred it to the original without ranking it above the Intense. Above all, he considered it redundant for anyone who already loves Coco Mademoiselle, and recommended it to those who found the original too heavy.
