Coco Mademoiselle

Chanel · 2001

The rosy, patchouli-forward floral people describe as smelling expensive without being sweet.

Coco Mademoiselle opens with sharp orange and bergamot, moves through rose and jasmine, then dries into a dark patchouli and vetiver base with a thread of vanilla. The citrus-to-patchouli structure keeps it from tipping into pure sweetness, which is part of why it has stayed a reference point for modern chypre-leaning florals.
