To help you find the best alternative to Coco Mademoiselle, I have decided to narrow down its top five similar fragrances in this article.
So, read this article till the end to find the best Coco Mademoiselle alternatives for yourself.
What does Coco Mademoiselle Smell like?
Before I dive into perfumes similar to Coco Mademoiselle, let me tell you a little bit about the perfume itself.
Released much later than their other iconic fragrances, one of the most irresistible aromas produced by the renowned French company founded by Coco Chanel is the Coco Mademoiselle.
It was created by the very famous perfumer Jacques Polge, who is also responsible for many other designer perfume wonders. Since its release in 2001, Coco Mademoiselle has continued to be a top seller for the company and has garnered multiple prizes for its high quality and effective advertising strategies.
Despite being fairly feminine, Coco Mademoiselle is not a girly fragrance. It has a slight tinge of masculinity, which is what gives it its boldness.
It is intended primarily for women in their 20s and 30s and is airy and youthful. It has a floral aroma with a modern twist and a sensual appeal that is classy, elegant, and timeless. It can be worn both during the day and at night. It has sophistication and is both subtle and sensual.
Below, I have broken down the oriental notes of Coco Mademoiselle for you.
Top Notes: Orange, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, and Orange Blossom.
Middle Notes: Jasmine, Mimosa, Turkish Rose, and Ylang-Ylang.
Base Notes: Vanilla, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, White Musk, and Opoponax.
The citrus notes dominate when you first spray Coco Mademoiselle. After a few minutes, the rich floral middle notes blend in.
Gradually the scent takes a twist as the base notes add a sense of mystery and sensational quality to the fragrance.

Sanderling by Yves de Sistelle is a floral yet spicy feminine fragrance that smells similar to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle right after you spray it. However, as the scent develops, the perfumes differ.
There is an evident lack of citrus notes and patchouli when compared to Coco Mademoiselle. But the musk and vanilla are evident, which makes this scent much softer than Coco.
The floral notes on Sanderling are more mature than the youthful Coco, and the scent doesn’t last anywhere as long as Coco Mademoiselle.

The citrusy mandarin is there but to a lesser extent, and the rose in the middle note is a different kind. However, the style of the fragrances is fairly similar.
The longevity of Miss Dior, created by Francois Demachy, is absolutely amazing (duh!), and it is a great scent to have in your collection. If you don’t mind a pricey alternative to Coco, then this one is a great option for you.
