Chanel has always been known for its elegant adverts and the Coco Mademoiselle one is no exception. In the commercial we see a very poised Keira Knightley adding intrigue and seduction to the perfume. It's a mesmerising advert that keeps your eyes glued to it. You are captivated. And the perfume itself is exactly like the advert - you are enchanted by its graceful fragrance and once you try it out you cannot imgine yourself ever letting it go.

Just like its sister fragrance, Coco, Coco Mademoiselle is slightly more toned down and not as obvious. Its aroma personifies a playful youth of someone charismatic and fashionable. A little spritz of it transforms you into these qualities and makes you ready for anything.

I have not come across anyone who doesn't like its sweet scent and therefore it's a perfume for anyone, and most importantly for any occasion as it's appropriate for the office, the bar, the club and of course, the date. Although the scent is not overpowering, it is one that certainly stays throughout the day without having to reapply often. It is these reasons that make Coco Mademoiselle a permanent fixture in vanity tables all over the world.

Many people choose perfumes by the bottle, and although you should never judge a book by its cover, Coco Mademoiselle has the perfect package and its outside reflects its inside. For all those 'appearance orientated perfume lovers' you will not be disappointed by the appearance of this perfume. It's square bottle looks good on any shelf, and its colours of frosted white and pink add a dash of pretty femininity. Just like the inside, the outside is not overpowering and is as elegant as the smell itself. The shape of the bottle is perfect for carrying around in purses and handbags ready for a refreshment spritz anytime.

Giving someone a bottle of perfume as a gift can sometimes be a bit risky but Coco Mademoiselle as a gift would never lead to disappointment. Let's face it, receiving anything Chanel is bound to cause some sort of excitement. The brand is so sought after that even an eyeliner from it would be a fabulous thing to have in your makeup bag, even if the rest of the makeup it contains are strictly under ten pounds. But Coco Mademoiselle truly is something special, so if you want to indulge yourself with elegance, seduction and intrigue, then this darling perfume is the way to go. Trust me, you will never look back.
