Chanel
Coco Mademoiselle EDP
“The fragrance a well-dressed woman wears without thinking — because it's always right.”

A 2001 reinterpretation of the 1984 Coco DNA tuned for a younger market — lighter, more citrus-forward, less powerhouse. Jacques Polge layered orange, mandarin, bergamot, and grapefruit over a Turkish rose, jasmine, mimosa, and ylang-ylang heart, with a patchouli-vetiver-vanilla-musk drydown. One of the defining feminine designers of the 2000s.
