Coco Mademoiselle" has nothing to do with the original Coco (which, in my view is a masterpiece.)
"Coco Mademoiselle" starts with a sharp oriental woody patchouli note which, combined with a sugary tart berry note, create an effect that should be enjoyable however, somehow isn’t. Instead, it creates a rather unpleasant feel of a moldy, plastic mess.
I cannot put my finger on what the problematic combination might be… maybe, there are too many notes altogether which eventually do not blend that well… Aldehydes, vanilla, rose, jasmine, ylang, something fresh and green, lemons, musk…
Once you get passed the first hour, the perfume transforms into a pleasant green, fresh, citrusy scent but, I still get this feeling that it is made for people who are unable to appreciate Chanel. It is not well rounded and I feel there is no craft in this creation.
Nevertheless, it is a very cleverly marketed scent aiming towards teenage girls who are raving about it (Coco Mademoiselle could be their adolescent entrance into haute perfumerie.) It offers some of the same fruity-candy and somewhat modern-chypre appeal as many teen-targeted celebrity scents, but it’s significantly less crude than most.
The longevity is not good. It completely disappears after 2 hours.
I’m not convinced it belongs in the Chanel lineup.
I don’t think that Coco herself would have ever created something like this.
