Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette Spray

Starting At The Beginning My obsession of Coco Mademoiselle started a few years ago. I sampled it in my fiances Aunts home and was rather jealous of her collection of Coco Mademoiselle products. I received the body lotion which I loved and desperately wanted to own a bottle of the fragrance itself. It was always the first fragrance I sprayed when at a Chanel counter or in my local Boots store. My lovely big sister treated me to a bottle for my Christmas and I must admit, it was my favourite Christmas present!

Before I go into any of the details of this review, I need to mention that I refer the the EDP (Eau de Parfum) version of this fragrance.

Everyone has what is their signature perfume, that perfume that you know is just them. Dior's Poison will always remind me of a dear friend who practically bathed in the stuff. CK Obsession will always be my little Sister and Chanel no 5 will always remind me of my Mum when I was a small child. For years Givenchy's Amarige was my perfume of choice it was my signature perfume. I flirted with numerous different perfumes over the years as my dressing table will show testament to this fact, but I always returned to the perfume that never let me down unlike others now cluttering up my dressing ... more
