I have used two 100ml bottles of this within 12months, one was manufactured in USA and the other, France. The bottle made in the USA was slightly lighter than the one from France, but otherwise, there wasn't a lot of difference. One purchased as part of a set from Duty free in Malaysia and the other purchased from Duty free in Sydney.
This perfume gave me feelings of luxury, indulgence, confidence. I definitely enjoyed the smell of patchouli mixed with rose and I adored the hint of vanilla. After my over naughty over-indulgent use of this expensive baby around the house as well as all over myself at every opportunity I am taking a wee break while I explore/revisit the rest of my perfume collection. I have a colleague who wears it still and so I still get to enjoy the fragrance, even if it is on someone else.
Chanel's Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum is possibly the lightest of the Chanel range while still retaining the same essense as all the other Chanel perfumes through notes of Jasmine Absolute and May Rose Absolute.
This perfume also has the very slightest hint of fruit in it and cuts back the musk, which makes it more appealing to me than the classic Chanel No. 5.
I thought the bottle for this perfume was fairly average, though superior to the EDT version which looks plain cheap. However from a brand like Chanel I expect more elegance.
Interestingly I noticed with this perfume, it sinks into my skin almost instantly and I struggle to smell it on myself although others assure me than can smell it for hours and I can smell it perfectly if I spray it on clothes and have also smelt it hours afterwards on my clothes.
So a lovely perfume, but more than anything the main thing that keeps me from having an endless stash is the price. I think it is completely overpriced. I would also love to see little roll on bottles that you keep in your handbag sold in shops.
