Coco Mademoiselle L’eau Privée was brought out by the design house in 2020, as a night scent interpretation of the original Coco Mademoiselle. I grabbed a sample of this a while back and wanted to give it a try to see what it’s all about. How does it smell? Is it worth a buy?

My Full Review

Here’s how Chanel describes this scent: A delicate, sensual interpretation of COCO MADEMOISELLE designed to be worn at night.

L’eau Privée opens up with the bright and juicy orange note that is found in the original Coco Mademoiselle. The neroli note is noticeably absent, but it does seem like there is still a bit of the patchouli note lingering around.

Obviously, this one isn’t anywhere close to being as bold or intense as the others in this line of fragrance. However, I really like the way that it smells. I’ve always been a fan of Mademoiselle and this gives you a lighter interpretation, where the orange really gets to shine.

It’s fresh and not as sharp, which is great, since it’s made to be sprayed before bed. The rose and jasmine are there, more of the jasmine to my nose, but neither ever really comes to dominate. For me, the mandarin orange and the musk notes are the stars of the show.

Not too much development, the orange fades, and it becomes more of a musky floral blend.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

At it’s peak, the sillage is pretty moderate. Weaker than the others in the series, so, don’t expect a huge projection. The thing is, that peak is short-lived. After that, L’eau Privée is a light fragrance that’s going to stick close to the body.

The longevity, is about 4 hours on me. Those last two hours, it’s basically a complete skin scent. Again, that’s what this one is designed to do. The performance isn’t going to be the selling point for anyone looking to purchase this fragrance.

The versatility is basically limited to a few hours before bed or anytime, you want a quick spray to freshen up for a short period of time. If you buy this, you’re not going to be wearing it out to the club or the office or wherever.

I mean, you can wear it to these places and you’ll smell great. But, a few hours later…it’ll be all but gone.

My Overall Impressions

Do I like this perfume? Yes, I love the formulation of this Coco Mademoiselle. L’eau Privée smells really great, upon the first spray. The mandarin orange really gets time to shine and you get plenty of that original DNA here.

If this were a longer lasting flanker, it’d be pretty damn amazing. As it is, only a limited number of people are going to want a bottle.

Something to wear to bed? Okay, fine. You’re still paying Chanel prices for the opportunity to do so. If that sounds like what you’re in the market for, it does smell wonderful. If you’re not, then, really go with one of the other Coco Mademoiselle options.
