Best Intense Hit
Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense, €97, Chanel counters nationwide
Coco Mademoiselle is Chanel’s runaway hit, the fragrance designed to act as a little sister to Coco — which then outstripped her like a rebellious upstart. This Intense take on Coco Mademoiselle plays powerfully on the characteristics of both. It has the depth of the original Coco, but the sparkling quality of Mademoiselle, which has been achieved, they say, by playing with the patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla. “Very addictive,” a panellist said. “It lasts for ages, so you get wafts all day, and it’s so soft and satisfying.”
