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 table. From Calvin Klein to Chanel via Estee Lauder and a dabble with Dior I always returned back to Amarige.Unfortunately my love affair with Amarige is now over I have finally found what is my perfume. A simple bottle baring the name Coco Mademoiselle.

Coco Mademoiselle (CM) shouldn't be mixed up with her older Sister, Coco Chanel. CM is a lighter more fresher scent.Whereas Coco Chanel is a more heavier citrus dominated scent more suitable for evening wear than daywear.CM was produced to compliment the Coco Chanel perfume by updating it, giving it a more 21st Century feel. CM was launched last year. The first new Chanel perfume in six years since the l996 launch of Allure. Marketed for the the independent, sensual but provocative woman of the 21st century.

Coco Chanel held dear the maxim that more is less "Always remove always strip away, never add" Thus a Chanel product will not be entwined with tea roses or in your face gold leaf patterns nothing so vulgar would be embossed on a Chanel box please! After a brief dabble with a muted salmon pink on the Allure box Chanel went back to their signature packaging of white with understated black writing with just a hint of gold on the lid and around the edges of the box for CM. This type of packaging is just so Chanel. It works because it is so easily recognised as being a Chanel product. Und erstated but every so classy, oozing quality and expensiveness by being a touch austere.

The bottle again is just so Chanel. You can imagine it being picked out way back in the 20's when Coco Chanel first launched the neo classic perfume Chanel no 5. It is the typical Chanel bottle, square shaped with the name of the perfume tastefully etched on it within a gold edged square of frosted glass. Around the neck of the bottle again is the simple Chanel logo and toped of with the classic Chanel square stopper.

CM was produced by the Chanel nose Jacques
