Coco Mademoiselle

  • For women
  • Eau de Parfum
  • 2001

A sparkling reinvention of the Coco spirit, Coco Mademoiselle marries the brilliance of citrus with an elegant patchouli and a fresh rose. A modern chypre, lively and sensual at once, which has become one of Chanel's great feminines.

What its composition says

  • 4 materials in the base for 2 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
  • Lychee: its rarest material, which only 36 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 55.
  • White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
  • Citrus, woody, floral, musky, fruity and gourmand: 6 registers of raw materials share its palette, with citrus supplying 2 of 9.
