Notes



















I'm not convinced by the Coco Mademoiselle similarity, however, I detect a strong resemblance to Chance EDT in terms of its retro citrus-woody quality, accompanied by a noticeable pineapple note. While it's pleasant overall, my personal preference is for scents that don't heavily rely on citruses. Nevertheless, this fragrance exudes sophistication, cleanliness, and an uplifting aura.
Provocative and seductive! ๐ฅ๐
I was really looking forward to trying out this fragrance after hearing so many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience with it has been underwhelming...it's just okay for me. Initially, I don't detect any connection to CM, as I've worn that one for about five years and thoroughly enjoy it; however, I do catch subtle hints of Chance EDT. On my skin, the cedar, patchouli, and pineapple notes are present but fleeting, lasting no more than 20 minutes. I thought I might be desensitized to it, but even my husband and daughters couldn't pick up on anything when they smelled me. Honestly, this could be a cheaper, diluted version of Chance at 75-80%, which is all I can see it being worth; I wouldn't consider purchasing the full-size bottle.
On paper, this perfume appears to be a sophisticated blend with plenty of intrigue. In reality, when applied to my skin, the scent takes on a sharp, linear quality that feels more suited to a traditional men's fragrance. I'm struck by how dramatically different the experience is between the two! ๐
A sophisticated take on femininity in a fragrance, if you will. This scent is akin to an upscale iteration of BVLG Omnia Crystaline. It lingers even after showering. While robust, it's not overpowering or confrontational. For those who appreciate feminine yet unisex fresh and strong fragrances, I'm still trying to grasp the allure this perfume holds for me. A treasured possession indeed.
