As a guy who generally hates most womens perfumes (too sweet and overpowering) ive got to say this is one I absolutely love on women. Actually i think its the only one i really like. Girl at work wears it and at first I thought it was this deodrant she was always using and I couldn't understand why it was so alluring and attracting me to her until I asked her one day and when she mentioned chanel I thought oh that makes sense, as I really rate their mens perfumes. Projection and sillage v good, longevity around 4-6 hours. Probly best suited to a younger crowd, under 35. Do urself a favour, pay the chanel price and get ur hands on it.

[@MiaCristy1]

wow thank you for that!

[@jeanettemarkley7299]

Your company allows girls at work? That's interesting is it a daycare?

[@Mykahl1]

You know what?? I see so many reviews from so many people on different fragrances (because I watch them a lot!)and I can honestly say that these are by far the most helpful. you can tell you know your scents and are just blowing smoke.. thank you for being so useful and not making me feel like I've wasted my time!!

[@MichaelGrey11]

My grandma uses this. I love it 💗

[@sigourney523]

Thanks for the invite Katie! Can't believe it! You're so nice! Cos' I'm a big fan! =) Love your channel, I'm a perfume maniac, I look up to you and you make me wanna try out the NR for Her so much! =) Will you be on TV again? I love the way you talk about perfumes on TV too! =)

[@60scinema]

@KatiePuckrikSmells: Hmm...I'm usually not a big proponent of layering (how can you see the first painting if you put another in front of it). That being said, I might have to give it a try. Btw: many more viral perfume critics have come out recently, but I still think you're the absolute best!!! Love your channel!!

[@fragrancecrazed]

Great review Katie! I'm getting a Chanel perfume soon and I'm tied up between these: Chanel N°5, Chanel N°19, Chanel Coco and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. I may even be getting two, and if I do get two, one of them will be N°5 without a doubt. Which is your favourite out of these?

[@cailleyrose]

Today I smelled Euphoria by Calvin Klein and thought it smelled remarkably like Coco Mademoiselle. How do you think the two compare? Do you think one is the better fragrance?

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

I'm on a Coco Noir roll with my Chanel recommendations here. It's classy, sweet but not sickly, not too standard. Chanel No. 19 Poudre is a beauty, too, but it's not on the sweet side - it's an elegant puff of iris and powder.

[@justStardust940]

your reviews are most helpful on youtube!!! thankss

[@nickidaisyreddwoodd5837]

Coco Mademoiselle and Gabrielle remind me of Coco Chanel. All three are Amazing perfumes, very rich, abundant and full of love.

[@WillerRemyMa]

yayy we love you katie:* í'm yet to try the suggestions you gave me, but i'm going to paris next week, so i'm gonna try 'em all there:) Katie, do you a fruity incense parfume? also, do you know any parfume that featuras hedge bindweed flower (also called wild morning glory)?, I just LOVE the smell of it---kiiissss

[@sofibg123]

I'm really in love with this perfume. I used to stick to Miss Dior, but here in Mexico is different, EVERYONE is using Miss Dior, so I decided to be different and chose Coco Mademoiselle. It just makes me feel so confident.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

This is a WONDERFUL question! So wonderful that I had to sit down and give it some good thought. I think No. 5 is "classic", not "common", firstly because it has stood the test of time. Also, it was a groundbreaking work of art when it came out in 1921, and influenced perfume trends for generations. And for many years, perfume was an exclusive luxury item worn mostly by wealthy people, so No. 5 has retained that cachet.

[@60scinema]

I do like Coco Mademoiselle (as I like most Chanels), I do, however, it does have a bit of a coppery drydown that I find to be a little agitating. In lieu of Coco Mademoiselle, I opt for the original Coco (1984). I find Coco to be a deep, soapy, spicy and dare I say mysterious oriental. I am surprised that you didn't mention it within this review though as a point of reference. I'm curious, whats your take on Coco? Love it, hate it?

[@0hpalpitations]

@KatiePuckrikSmells that's so ironic that you're mentioning flora nymphea. i randomly picked it up at sephora a few days ago (never even heard of it before), and am completely in love with it now. it smells soooo amazing and i'm quickly using up my little sample.

[@Sukantara]

You have such a nice skin. How do you keep your skin so nice ? Do you stay out of the sun, because your skintone looks nice.

[@fragrancecrazed]

Hi Katie! Thanks for your suggestions. Yeah, I ended up choosing Chanel N°5 100 ml EDP. I live in Australia and our perfume prices are ridiculous compared to everywhere else. Chanel N°5 100 ml EDP sells for $234 Australian dollars in our department stores. Where I purchased it they didn't have any EDT formulations of N°5, therefore I didn't have money for a second bottle. To answer your question, yes I'm a guy and I'm 16 years old. N°19 is beautiful, but so is Coco and Coco Mademoiselle.

[@LettyFlo]

I love clean just out of the shower, clean hair smell. That is why I bought the Mademoiselle Parfum.

[@nekoboy86]

Hi Katie, i wonder what your opinions are on Mitsouko :D its after all, the grande dame of perfumes.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

Dasha, given the perfumes you've been loving, I'd steer you towards Coco Noir. It's a pretty oriental that feels more youthful than Coco Mademoiselle.

[@nowelle427]

I must have 50 bottles of fragrance, Coco Mademoiselle being one, and I am constantly looking for the right scent. What is wrong with me? (!) I can wear a fragrance for one day and be tired of it the next. I envy those who have a signature scent, but sadly, I am not one of them. I want to be, but it has never happened. Sigh. Thanks so much for this review. It has given me a sense of normality, for I think now that others may tire of fragrance like I do--even of perfectly lovely scents.

[@littleointment]

love your videos. i get so excited when i see them in my box thanks for the review xox

[@35M40]

I like Mademoiselle's 'elegant femininity + bug spray' character and I like Lady Vengeance for the same reason, even though they don't smell the same. My skin really sucks up the patch notes and spits out everything else though. Chance smells practically identical after 15 minutes on my wrist.

[@panseereddumplings]

I honestly don't know anyone who wears Coco Mademoiselle besides me...

[@starlight739]

The first time I smelled Mademoiselle, I thought I'd died and gone to fragrance heaven. I love how it's citrusy at the beginning, and then the masculine edge stops the vanilla dry down from being sweet. I haven't yet been able to find another oriental that sidesteps stifling sweetness so well. Sadly, I do smell it on other people too often, which is extremely off-putting. Do you recommend any light, summery fragrances to replace this as the weather gets warm?

[@deathscythe77]

@KatiePuckrikSmells you're right, No 5 still carries its status of perfume for "people of wealth". I wonder if Coco Mademoiselle, just like No5, will too graduate into "classic" one day (or did it already??.. I personally doubt that)

[@Femmefatale1990]

Amazing scent! my favorite. It's young, feminine, elegant and expensive-smelling! I love how you mentioned that it's a *bit* just a bit masculine I get what you mean but don't scare people off because it's something that only you might notice. Anyway, I have never smelled it on someone. I get so many compliments wearing it.

[@xheathermichelle]

This is one of my favorite fragrances, I love it!

[@beautybudget88]

fantastic review! What do you think of Chanel Chance?

[@silvuna3505]

Yes, very similar what I think of CM. It is a classic, business type fragrance. It is not flirty or seductive, it is an elegant, flowery-citrusy, patchouli, a bit of fresh, rather on the cold side scent. Very appropriate for work, type of CEO woman where she meets other professionals but still quite feminine.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

Yes, all those iterations of Daisy are confusing, aren't they! I'm talking about the eau de parfum in the black bottle with the gold top. It's got a strawberry candy smell which is why I thought you might like it. And Coco Noir also has a red berry smell, which is why I recommended it. Chance Tendre is more floral and Coco Mademoiselle is patchouli-ish, so I thought they might not be the right fit for you. But follow your nose and buy the one you think is the prettiest and most "you"!

[@Aldosfuturewife1]

Wow! Lucky you :) I'm super happy I bought it now, lol. I do hope I can go this year. I can't imagine how breathtaking it must be.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

No, it's marketed to men, but women can easily wear it. It's in the same family as Chanel's Bois des Îles.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

It's not that the musk creates the anosmia, it's just that you might be anosimic to musks. We're all hard-wired with varying abilities to smell certain things. Musks are one of those "now you smell them, now you don't: kind of things.

[@maxxdog2]

Katie, do you think a guy could pull this off? I wear Alien, and get crazy compliments when I wear it>

[@everydayneil3821]

I wonder the exact same thing, I wear alien and the one all the time and get a crazy number of compliments

[@janehibberd2890]

+Neil Hernandez probably smells better on men

[@janehibberd2890]

if you dont mind the word mademosell

[@longcara]

Yes i love my coco mademoiselle, but i get what you are saying , that everywhere you go you smell someone with the same fragrance. But i stil love it.

[@thatsbathtastic]

I bought Allure to wear on my wedding day, and I almost got Coco Mademoiselle but thought it was the more popular one, but who knows I don't know as much about fragrances as you so maybe Allure is just as popular

[@deathscythe77]

omg, you expressed my exact thoughts on this perfume! =) Coco Mademoiselle is indeed a victim of it's own popularity... But how come No 5 is not perceived in the same way?

[@NewHaarlem]

Hi, Katie. Is Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere a too common perfume as well? (I'm thinking of getting it for my girlfriend. Thanks.)

[@Yaaae92]

Bought the 100 ml for my mother this week and she loooves it as do I !

[@SayItLoud19]

I agree with your review I remeber being on a Cruise and a woman near me was wearing Coco Mademoiselle it was such a turn off because it was so common.Sometimes we like something not so common.Another one that smells just like it but sweeter and easier to wear is Prai Scent of a Woman.

[@bellezataina]

Hi Katie, What are your thoughts on Chance by Chanel? Love your reviews!! From your reviews I realize that I am a fragrance schizo: angel, rush, alien & hypnotic poison ;). What would you suggest as a summer fragrance based on those? Thanks!!

[@Aldosfuturewife1]

I just purchased Coco Mademoiselle today and am planning a trip to Mexico City with a good friend this summer :) I can't wait to go - I've never been to Mexico.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

It's funny, though - No. 5 continues to dominate the fume landscape, even though for many years of its reign, it was one of only hundreds of other perfumes, not the thousands that are available today. It has transcended ubiquity to make it to the hallowed halls of true classics.

[@misslazeny]

I'm on my 2nd bottle of Coco Mademoiselle EDP and I'm honestly tired of it. I always get compliments every time I wear this. I only use it now as a "regular day" fragrance I and alternate it my Guerlain Champ Elysees for spring/summer. A year or so ago I use it on special occasions. I now reserve my Guerlain perfumes (Shalimar, Samsara, L'Heure Blue&Mitsuoko) on special occasions instead.

[@guivenditti]

well... i tried Mary Kate & Ashley 's "L.A. STYLE" (shame on me!!! haha but it was suuuuch a bargain!!!) and i thought that, from a little far, it smells like a lighter (and cheaper... in all ways) version of Coco Mademoiselle!!! have you tried this?!?

[@KathyOver50]

Thank you for the review, I plan to go on a smelling spree this weekend now!

[@patriciagimay9195]

Hi,is the Chanel Égoïste ETT or ETP that you were speaking about that you like wearing,Thanking you for your answer Patricia

[@MsEEvaM]

Your right this fragrance is a bit played out. But I do love it , just isnt a "you" fragrance. Chanel is my favorite house so im always drawn back. My favorite seems to be no 19. I dont smell it on others alot..actually ever which is good. Could you do a review on no19 ? Id love to hear your take on it.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@WolfEyesatNight I just researched this a bit more, and perfumer Liz Zorn says that as long as the perfume smells fine, you can wear it. It's more common for perfumes with high amounts of natural ingredients to produce sediment, so it's odd that your Ralph Lauren has it.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Sirilloh I've heard from several men who love the scent of Coco Mlle and wish they could wear it themselves, but find it slightly too feminine. But I think it's squarely in the spicy patchouli-with-a-dab-of-freshness arena that seems like a guy could pull off. I think you should try it and see for yourself.

[@jorgemateus208]

what an hypnotic voice you have.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

Ooooooooh....Dune! That is a GREAT suggestion. I need to review that.

[@Apero1Spritz]

Nice recommendation on Egoiste. I'd love that you overlook the 'pour homme/elle' labeling and just go with whatever works for you. Now I need to hunt down some frags that are marketed toward women but work just as great on men.

[@passionatereader77]

Hey katie. Whats ur take on Chance Eau Tendre? Nice vid.

[@WildDoveX]

Thank you for your comments on Chanel Egoiste - I want to check this one out again. Coco Mademoiselle in its original edp is a favorite of mine. I don't wear it often, but always enjoy it when I do. It's kind of a loud scent on me though, so I have to be prepared to flaunt and rock it. :-)

[@flordeamapolita]

really like your channel. need some advice. how can you determine what type of fragrance works well for your body chemistry. i have found the only two perfumes i can wear without them changing is mademoiselle and opium. would love to branch out. do you have any suggestions. thanks

[@amyjohannak]

Hi Katie, can you review the original 'Coco' ? I can't find you reviewing this classic scent anywhere!

[@TheLivwell2]

Coco Mademoiselle is a scent that I'd love to own (if I had the money), but, as you said, it's worn by a lot of people! I agree with you that it's a girls' night out scent (nicely described!)... Egoiste is really nice - I've only ever tried it on my skin once a while back. I might have to revisit it next time I'm near a Chanel counter! :) I wouldn't mind trying that Laura Mercier scent...not sure if it's available out here in Oz though. Must check that out.

[@vickymaz]

I had the oddest experience with a sample of Coco Mademoiselle: within 20 seconds of spritzing it on, it smelled, unmistakeably, like fresh tomato juice on my skin. How strange is that? I guess my (otherwise normal) body chemistry just flat-out rejected it. However, if I ever want to smell like a summer salad, I know what to do. :)

[@oysterinbread]

would you say midnight poison resemble coco mademoiselle? i feel that midnight poison is her twin brother darker, more mysterious and masculine

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@TheSukiebapswent I thought for sure Les Senteurs in London would carry it, but the closest they have is Lutens Feminite de Bois. Bois de Violette is a violet-y version of FdB (putting it simplistically). You could always get a samp of FdB from Les Senteurs and see if it's going in the right direction for you. Anyway, Bois de Violette is a gorgeous, full-bodied spicy oriental featuring Violette in a dramatic way, rather than a simpering pastel way.

[@jomabigshu]

Hi Katie, can you do a review on Chanel Chance eau de Fraiche and would you recommend it to tropical and humid countries? Thanks! :)

[@fragrancecrazed]

Yes, I'm a guy. I ended up getting N°5. Next purchase I'm probably going to get Coco Mademoiselle, I absolutely love it. I do enjoy N°19 though, but I prefer Coco Mademoiselle. Thank you though! :)

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

The most candy-sweet Chanel is Coco Noir. Also try Marc Jacobs Daisy for something on the strawberry side of life.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@WolfEyesatNight I don't know for sure what that sediment is, but I would take your bottle back to the store for an exchange. It could be that the perfume has been affected from exposure to heat/light. Often, vintage bottles of perfume have this kind of white sediment. But it's odd that your new perfume has it!

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

I love hearing about these regional perfume preferences. All I've been smelling in London lately is Molecule 01.

[@lemoniealmond]

My best friend asked for perfume for her b-day...and I know she loves Flowerbomb its been her signature scent for quite a while, but she wants something a little more fun this time around except not too floral, any suggestions? I've racked my brain and sephora stores and I can't find anything unique enough for her liking.

[@iamcasihart]

@roughouserosie ahh, yes...Sicily is one of my favorites. In my opinion, it has such potential to be a "classic." It is unclear why it is unavailable in most stores...some have said that it is discontinued...I am not sure. However, as you mentioned, it is easily found online, (Target even has it for a terrific price)! If you live near a store called "Drug Emporium," you will find Sicily stocked there for a fair price.

[@AdirondackRuby]

I agree, about perfume sort of losing it's "oomph"...My "me" scent is Angel by Thierry Mugler, but I only wear it in the winter time, and I give it a break and wear other things the rest of the year. My "go to" scents are Kim Kardashian or Reserve by Perry Ellis in the Spring, Bvlgari's Omnia Crystalline or Burberry Summer in [duh!] the Summer and YSL's Parisienne in the Fall. I think it's important both for you and whoever might be smelling you, that you alternate and switch it up some times.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@lahoorah When I was in London last year, I was interested to see a parfum version of Coco Mademoiselle, which I'd never encountered in the US. Coco Mlle luvvas might seek out the parfum as a way to wear their fave fume in a different way.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

Dior Homme is beautiful: a dry iris/cocoa scent. I included it in my Valentine's selections this year. Go to "Fragrance Names" on the front page of my channel and click on the link to find it.

[@Nerblette]

I was recently given some sample sizes of Hippie Chick by True Religion and tried it out--when it dried down it smelled a LOT like Sexy Little Things by Victoria's Secret (NOT the noir version). There was one note that smelled so similar in both perfumes, but I can't recognize what it is and it's driving me nuts. Have you smelled either perfume and do you know?

[@ShallAnnDara]

I wear Number 19, which has all but been phased out. I can only find the EDT in the States. Do you have any idea where I might be able to find other products in this brand? I am especially interested in the Eau de Parfum, dusting powder and bath oils. Thanks!

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@WolfEyesatNight Oh, well the sun factor will explain the sediment in your perfume. Re your vintage perfume question: all perfumes will lose their power over time, some quicker than others. And really old perfumes will lose their top notes, but may still stay true to their original drydown, even if they're discolored. Others will go flat or rancid. It all depends on how carefully the owners have stored them.

[@TheNunafeedtheducks]

This is my holy grail, I'm worried because I only have a tiny bit left. I've dropped hints, saying that it's at the top of my Christmas list but my husband can be a little absent minded at times, bless him. I keep leaving it hanging around in the silliest places like in the middle of the bathroom or bedroom fool, each time my husband says do you know this perfumes on the fool. crossing my finger I think I might need lots of luck lolll

[@lambadancinciktii8011]

This is the best perfume in the world i think

[@VintageAqua]

Hi Katie, I recently discovered that one of my favorite scents DSquared SheWood had been discontinued much to my dismay. Would you been able to reccomend a good replacement? Thanks!

[@albertomedrano2435]

Katie, would you consider this one as a unisex frag? i really like it and i would like to wear it

[@christyanne8322]

Alberto Medrano Samperio any fragrance can be unisex if you really love it ;) you do you! 💕💕

[@hinlintin]

I love Coco Mademoiselle but it has become too common, it's also one of the few fragrance that almost every single guy out there cannot resist. One perfume that I find really similar to Coco Mme is Shiseido Zen though Zen is deeper and more woody

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@tiiggger In addition to the family members I mentioned in the vid, you might investigate L'Agent by Agent Provocateur and Gucci for Women.

[@dessypuspita19]

hi katie... i want to buy a chanel perfume soon, i'm a tenager . i love sweets smelling but not too sickly sweet, fresh, classy and not too boring. which of chanels perfume collection suits me?

[@katmac8365]

Hi Katie!.. can you do a review Chanel Cristalle EDP... I just recently smelt it and I think it’s so lovely but I can’t find a lot of other reviews on it 🤗

[@SuperPVZFan221]

There is one perfume that I can smell forever. It has never lost any of it's specialness with me. It is....D&G By women. The one in the animal print bottle. It is discontinued now, but I have small amounts. Chanel coco mad reminds me of a certain old wooden toothpick my dad used to buy. They came in a white box and had a kind of orange tint to them. ?

[@sigourney523]

@KatiePuckrikSmells Excellent! I'm so looking forward to it! Good work, Katie! Love ya! =)

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

Coco Mademoiselle. But also try Coco Noir. That kind of hits the spot between Chance and Coco Mlle.

[@nickidaisyreddwoodd5837]

Do you like Decadence by Marc Jacobs? I absolutely love it I am in mental heaven when I have it on my arms.

[@boiteasucre7002]

please tell me ,if you were in my place do you prefer chanel chance or coco mademoiselle ????i love them both,but i should make a decision

[@TheSukiebapswent]

Is there any chance thatyou could PLEASE review Bois de Violette by Serge Lutens? I want to buy it but I cant get my hands on a sample no matter how hard I try. I assure you I am a deserving cause!!

[@charlottesmom]

Coco Mademoiselle was on my never ending (it seems) list of "to try" perfumes, if I do like it I will also try the others you mentioned in this review. :0)

[@lahoorah]

Coco Mademoiselle is lovely! After receiving it as a gift, it has actually brightened up my dreary scent wardrobe (many many bottles, but continually reaching for the same two fragrances for the past decade!). Oddly, only one other person in my close group of friends wears it, but thanks to magical body chemistry, it plays out much different on her, but still manages to be delightful.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@jocelynmyers Hit or miss, right? But the hits are always lovely surprises.

[@jocelynmyers]

I think it is a quality fragrance but I like more unique fragrances. I am the type to mix a few together which can be a bit experimental.

[@ohpineapples]

I'm still lovin' that red chair! Nice video. I totally get what your saying about smelling the same smell over & over and you can guess what someone is wearing....whereas when I smell something (new to me) I like asking the person in a grocery store, in the shoe dept., or on the 3rd floor at work "can I ask what your wearing, it smells so pretty." I love to hear about what they have on, where they got it, how much it cost. Still lovin' that chair. I just love fun chairs & you have the best 1

[@TheSukiebapswent]

@KatiePuckrikSmells Sold!! FdB is my signature scent!! Time for a blind buy methinks....

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@amyjohannak Y'know, I really need to review this one - I've been getting loads of requests. Stay tuned...

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@MsKrissycat So glad! Welcome aboard!

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

@hilaphant Thanks! It's my new favorite: Burberry lip gloss in Brick No. 6. Lots of pigment, just sticky enough to be longer lasting than many glosses, and no glitter/sparkle.

[@sofibg123]

I'm going to move to Mexico City next summer! That's amazing! It's a beautiful city. I really think Coco Mademoiselle really suits the city!

[@MissMortViolette]

I went on a perfume hunt the other day at while at Macy's and, sadly, only found one or two scents that appealed *at all* - this was one of them. Still, It wasn't enough to make it onto my List of Perfumes to Buy (Someday). I'm mainly looking for something with a beautiful, strong honey scent. Not terribly common, I'm afraid.
