For my birthday in April one of my friends bought me a bottle of the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle body moisture mist spray which I just loved so as my sister was going abroad I asked would she pick me up some of the eau de parfum from the duty free to save me some pennies and I shall review this now.

There is something about Chanel which just screams class and perhaps extravagance to me and I am a fan of a few of the scents, particularly the Chance perfume which I used for my wedding day and from then on. The packaging used for the perfumes always looks expensive and classy and this is also the case with this perfume which comes presented in a white box with black simple writing. It has a gold trim around the top and bottom and the actual top of the box is also gold. The packaging looks timeless and classic and is something that I like to have on my dressing table so I always keep my Chanel perfumes with their boxes.

The bottle is not a let down in any way with its rectangular shape and thick chunky lid. The bottle looks expensive and the perfume inside it is visible so you are well aware of when you are likely to run out of the product. The Coco Mademoiselle logo is featured on the bottle and is lined with a gold edging which again makes it look classy.

The actual perfume is just lovely. It is quite floral and although it smells quite strong when I initially spray it on to my skin it soon settles down in to a nice light fragrance which is still noticeable on the skin but not overwhelming in any way. I am a bit rubbish with individual notes and do not claim to be an expert so I have looked online to find that information for those of you that would like to know:

Top notes: orange and bergamot
Middle notes: rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, mimosa
Base notes: patchouli, vanilla and musk

The fragrance to me, although floral, seems quite young and fresh too. I believe it is suited more to the younger end of the Chanel fans and is perhaps a lighter alternative to the more established Coco range. The scent lasts really well throughout the day for me and when I spray it in the morning I can still smell it at the end of the day although it is obviously much more faded then. If I were to be going on a night out I would probably reapply this in the night purely because I like the scent of perfume to linger. You only need one or two sprays when you apply it to each area too so a bottle goes a long way really.

Now this perfume is never going to be cheap being that it is a Chanel product but you can pick up a 35ml bottle from boots for £45.00 which isn't too bad for an excellent quality perfume which I like to save for when I am really feeling in the mood to treat myself rather than for every day use. I would really recommend this perfume if you are looking for something light, floral and long lasting and which will make you feel special when you wear it.

Thank you for reading my review!
