It also has a nice patchouli dry down, but there’s a sort of woody sweetness to it that Coco Mademoiselle doesn’t have–leaving the entire fragrance to evoke a lighter airiness than Coco Mademoiselle. Another good option for those seeking out the “fruitchouli” essence of Coco Mademoiselle, John Varvatos opens with the bursts of orange and plum and dries down into patchouli and florals like Turkish rose. Again, being a cheaper fragrance, the bottle leaves a lot to desire with almost a mascara-like appearance, but its benefit is that it can easily fit into a purse for on-the-go application. To me, Miss Dior is a little less grounded in musk and has just a tad lighter sides of fruit and rose florals. In my opinion, Miss Dior would be better suited for an everyday signature scent, although the similarities are so close it’s hard to really feel strongly about one vs. the other.

A big plus is that So Elixir is very affordable without straying too far away from the build of Coco Mademoiselle, though the bottle is a little bland for me with just a light gold curved design. Still, definitely a good contender for anyone who wants to keep a fragrance with the essential structure of Coco Mademoiselle, but updated to be a little more youthful. It is a perfect signature fragrance not only because of its versatility for day or night, but also because its longevity is something out of this world–lasting sometimes for a 24 hour period. The opening holds more white floral than citrus for me, but overall the notes of bergamot do come through and the dry down of patchouli and vetiver are undeniably reminiscent of Coco Mademoiselle. This bottle is so pretty that I would buy it just for that and the perfume really does smell lovely. It smells very similar to Marc Jacobs Daisy but I can tell the difference ever so slightly – probably because I love the original version of this perfume and bought Miss F a small bottle for Christmas last year. She wears it quite regularly which is why I’m probably more aware that the smell is slightly different. It has very definite similarities though and I would imagine that most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. The fragrance itself starts with a burst of citrus–reminiscent of mandarin orange and bergamot and then has a dry down settled in strong patchouli notes and white musk.My verdict? If you enjoy the allure of Coco Mademoiselle but cringe at the price, Dossier’s Woody Oakmoss is worth a shot. It may not be an exact replica, but it captures the essence brilliantly and gets close enough to turn heads. The opening fragrance mixes the same citrus and bergamot of Coco Mademoiselle but with just the lightest touch of pineapple, giving it a more sweet twist to the opening.

The citrusy top notes are a bit sweeter in this one, but the distinct patchouli base note shines through in Miss Tutu. The dry down settles into a clean white floral, fruity essence that I think better suits the Spring and Autumn months. Dossier Woody Oakmos is also specially designed to be a Coco Mademoiselle dupe. The key notes match almost perfectly with Chanel Mademoiselle. Another fan favorite is So Elixir by Yves Rocher, but it might be a bit difficult to find the fragrance in stores nowadays. It’s thanks to her ‘sharing’ of my perfume that I found myself completely out of perfume with two months to go until my Winter top up gift on our Wedding anniversary. 😉

It is debatable whether or not Shiseido Zen is an exact dupe of Coco Mademoiselle, but there is no doubt that the two are pretty similar. Still, there’s a reason for all the commotion over its originality–anyone crossing you on the street will probably not be able to detect the difference unless they were a serious fan of Chanel. It’s no surprise that Coco Chanel’s perfume line feels like a god-tier experience, but while the double C’s are so enticing, some might think as I do and wish there were some more affordable alternatives out there. The verdict: A lovely perfume in a gorgeous bottle! It smells very similar to Marc Jacobs and is well worth the price.

John Varvatos barely misses the mark for me as a modern style chypre, with its top notes being a little less noticeable than that of Coco Mademoiselle.I don’t think any perfume lover could deny the timelessness of Chanel–the classic brand has practically aged alongside the perfume and fashion industry since our parents were young.
