Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Pure Parfum Extrait

Coco Mademoiselle accompanies me for around ten years. It is among a few other fragrances my favorite perfume. I own Coco Mademoiselle in all variations Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Body Lotion and Deodorant. Today I would like to talk about the Parfum Extrait. I feel that this version is not being mentioned enough.

It comes in 7.5ml or 15ml for around 120-190 Euros. The price is high and the amount of product you get is very little. I bought it in the format of purse spray but you can get it also in a lovely little glass bottle (mine is empty and I wanted to try the spray).

This is how I got mine:

It is very difficult for me to talk about a fragrance. I am not a professional in this field but I would like to share the following.

The Eau de Perfume that most people know is relatively intense while the Eau de Toilette comes along lighter and with more citrus which reduces the drama that the Eau de Perfume characterizes.
Now, looking at the Parfum Extrait we are going into a different direction. The Extrait is very present it contains the theme of the Eau de Perfume and Eau de Toilette but puts it into play differently. It is more precise everything fits together perfectly. There is no drama but some kind of control that holds everything together in place in deep harmony.

It reminds me of the Chanel Eau de Perfume Chance. There is something in common about the two.

The Parfum Extrait in my opinion is the best version of Coco Mademoiselle because everything fits together perfectly. There is not too much and still nothing is missing. There is a great balance between going forward and enjoying the moment.
For those interested the Body Lotion goes into the direction of the Parfum Extrait.

During the week I use the Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette and during the weekend or for going out I mainly use the Parfum Extrait,

In terms of wear I do not have to say that a little bit goes a long way. One or two drops are enough for the entire day. This means that 7.5ml will last me around 4-5 months.

The spray needs to be used with caution. I expected, given the fact that the Extrait is very intense, that the dispenser will be very careful but this is not the case. It sprays almost the same amount that a normal Eau de Perfum sprays. This is far too much and will only result in wasting a lot of the precious product. Dear Chanel, could this not have been considered?

I will definitely repurchase but not the spray version.
