Review of Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense by aad de gids

Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle is a fabulous perfume. the Edt, the Eau Privé, the Edp and now this Edp Intense. I just veered along with all Éditions. it starts juicy, while I am bad at singling out specific Fruits. perhaps the Bergamot and Lemon make the opening Hesperidic. this in a charming and chic Chanel way. the opening doesn't fade away so quickly. yet already I can smell the Roses and Jasmin, the typical Chanel duo. then an Enigma arrives. I am old enough to have experienced the real Patchouli Oils of the 1960s (my teens) and 1977 (my twenties, if that is a correct expression). I think I have always liked them but can't really remember what sort of scent it had. apparently Earthy, with a vague Minty, Tart smell conjoining. (from the Labiateae Family like the Mints and Majoran and Nettles ... ) I have no problem at all with Patchouli. but some people can differentiate so well between the Patchouli in different sorts, fases and the grade of dryness or freshness or just murkiness. this last quality I love. the best Patchouli I smelled I gave to my straight twinbrother. Farmacia Annunciata Patchouli Indonesiano. that was perfume and it was smashing. sadly they discontinued it. but I try to isolate the Patchouli scent here and suddenly I thought: what you smell now is Patchouli, with the Hesperidic opening (still going on) and the Exquisitely balanced and blended Florals de La Rose de Chanel and La Jasmine de Chanel en Paternariat avec Communautés Aroma Agrestiques de Grasse (I fantasise but it is true). so three pillars: Patchouli (always supportive to) Roses and Jasmine. a Heady Bouquet. Musk, Tonka Been, Vanilla, Labdanum ensure a soft landing kind of Hypnotic. the Champagne fizziness of Coco Mademoiselle isn't lost in the Edp Intense. this is a Chic, Sophisticated perfume while it wears long and in its Sillage is Présentiste, Époustoufflante, Exquise et avec Super Chanelissime.
