2x SUDDENLY MADAME GLAMOUR Eau de Parfume 50ml by Suddenly Madame Glamour

Product Information

In terms of smell, the initial 10 minutes is very similar to the Coco Mademoiselle. I can smell the citrus, but it's not bright and juicy as you'd normally expect. After 10-15 minutes, it's already settled in. It smells similar to the dry down of the CM (which has always been what I love the most) with maybe an extra dose of white musk.

I urge anyone who acquires Madame Glamour and also has access to Coco Mademoiselle to try the blind test game - it is most educational! I think Coco Mlle is perfectly pleasant, but not remarkable, and I never normally reach for it because it is so ubiquitous. I think I *will* wear Madame Glamour, not least because it is a triumph of chemical engineering over budget!Suddenly Madame Glamour is a very elegant and sophisticated fragrance. It has a stylish citrusy-floral smell, very similar to Coco Mademoiselle. The fragrance lasts a very long time on the skin and it smells luxurious and expensive. Thanks for that! Oh dear, dear, that is a sorry state of affairs if it is true, and most unfair. I just went to my local Lidl, and not only did it not have any Madame Glamour in - it had gone and put three trays of deodorant where the perfumes should have been! I don't know if that is because Madame Glamour came in and sold out again like lightning, or because the staff have given up hope of it ever arriving. I had never given Coco Mademoiselle much thought till this launch, but now you mention it it probably does smell more mid-market in the first place, notwithstanding the very aspirational and "luxe" ads featuring Keira. I was curious about this one after reading the NOTW article, and I am also writing a blog post on it. While doing my research, I stumble upon your blog. I was really captured in your quest : will she finally ge the perfume or not? Thanks for the posts, it's helpful.

Am so happy you landed on Bonkers, and liked what you read! I am in a bit of a mad busy work phase at the moment, but have lots of post ideas in the pipeline for when things calm down. And there are of course lots of old posts such as the one you chanced upon. ;) Thank you so much for this excellent review and test. I am a huge fan of Coco Mademoiselle (possibly in the minority here!) - it's been my signature scent for at least eight years! However, finances not being what they were, I've been curious to discover whether there was any truth in the rumour that it was (almost) as good as CM, or whether it was in fact, just hype. If I do see some more, I will buy a couple of bottles on spec, in case any Coco Mlle-loving readers are struggling to find it where they live. Though I shan't hold my breath. I think your conclusion is completely valid, but I am completely biased because I've never thought Coco Mademoiselle smelt as luxurious as other Chanels. And who needs luxury all the time anyway, right? ;) (especially when an approximation can be had for 4 pounds?)Would you believe a consignment finally came into my local store, so I bought another bottle last night in case you or another reader was frustrated in their quest! To hold up against Amaranthine is praise indeed, I'd say, so it is looking as though you don't regret shelling out the four quid! Maybe you'll feel better about your sniffing skills if you know that I couldn't even figure out what perfume I wore yesterday when I smelled the sweater this morning-and I didn't do it blindly!
