[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I distinctly remember being scathing about the concept of night fragrances and yet, the minute CHANEL brings one out, I couldn’t be more of an enthusiast. I know – I’m very much aware of this complete about turn! Guilty as charged but fragranced very nicely :-).

CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle L’Eau Privée Night Fragrance

If you’re familiar with Coco Mademoiselle, you’ll know that it falls into the oriental category. However, in this version, the woods have been toned down to a whisper, allowing the floral aspect to sparkle.

I’d describe this as a soft, floral veil of fragrance – a diffusion of jasmine, mandarin and rose with a trace of musk behind the flowers. It settles into the skin really quickly so the initial, gentle impression becomes gauzy and comforting.

Even the frosted glass bottle suggests softness – how lucky I’ve got a silk pillowcase to photograph it on! I mean, the obvious point is that if you share a bed with anyone, you’ll also be sharing your perfume so perhaps this is a lifestyle choice not made by just one person. I love the idea of slipping into bed (please be assured that the silky slip isn’t my nightwear – I had, years ago, a horrible night in silk sheets where I felt like I was going to slide out of bed at any moment and barely slept so I’m cotton all the way) surrounded by a gentle, familiar scent – it’s a very decadent thing to do if its CHANEL but if now isn’t the time, I don’t know when is. Sensory experiences are important, especially if they bring happiness and believe me, this does.

There is the obvious point that a dab of No.5 was all Marilyn Monroe needed but the difference is in the strength – this is perfumed water so it’s far more dilute and less likely to awaken the senses – the opposite of what you want if you’re heading for a solid 8 hours. Anyway, 30ml is £67 HERE. I imagine it’s a limited edition.
