Coco Mademoiselle Intense EDP

2018

The original's bolder, later-evening alter ego — all the elegance, none of the restraint.

Coco Mademoiselle Intense
citrus
vanilla
patchouli

The denser, more concentrated 2018 flanker of Coco Mademoiselle — Olivier Polge's launch, doubling down on the patchouli-rose-vanilla character of the original. Rose at the heart, settling on a Madagascar vanilla-patchouli-tonka drydown. Fall and winter, balanced day-to-night.

The take

  • Exceptional longevity — lasts a full evening easily
  • Heavier projection makes it ideal for evenings and cold weather

Trade-offs

  • Too intense for the office or warm-weather outings
  • Commands a significant price premium over the original
