Elegance is one of Chanel’s hallmarks, and the new packaging donned by Coco Mademoiselle illustrates this perfectly. 7.5 ml pearlized white purse-size flacon will contain the parfum version, while the sleek gold-and-white compact is intended for the limited-edition solid perfume. Lacking the sharpness of the EDT and the EDP versions of Coco Mademoiselle, the parfum makes me appreciate its luscious rose and peach set against the backdrop of patchouli and transparent mosses much more. Even if it might not sway those who are not Coco Mademoiselle fans, the richer concentration is undeniably striking. If you have tried the solid perfume, please comment. I am curious to know who it compares to the original. Although the non-alcoholic versions of fragrances are rarely produced these days, I find the idea of wearing solid perfume very appealing given its retro spirit.
The parfum (7.5ml) is priced at $100.00, while the solid perfume (8 g) is at $120.00. Available from Neiman Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue as well as directly from Chanel.com.

Lucy: I went thru a Coco Mad phase a few years ago and I have fond memories of the scent. So this is good news, I must seek out and try this form and version. I too like the solid perfume idea. It must also hold its fragrance closer to the skin, which I prefer also — September 7, 2007 at 10:44am
Karin: I can’t wear Coco Mad, but possibly I could wear these versions. I hope to remember to sniff the next time I’m in NM, but likely they don’t have it in a tester form. September 8, 2007 at 2:07pm
