Emotions N°07 Fleur De Patchouli

The Verdict

Fleur de Patchouli is a solid option. If you crave Coco Mademoiselle but can't justify the cost, this satisfies the craving without breaking the bank. It's a good everyday fragrance. The synthetic edges are noticeable if you're familiar with the original, but the average nose won't be bothered. For value-conscious fragrance lovers, this is a winner.

The Scent Profile

Emotions N°07 Fleur de Patchouli aims for Coco Mademoiselle, and gets… close. The initial blast is bright citrus – orange and mandarin are definitely there, though a touch more synthetic than Chanel. The heart leans heavily on the rose, which is nice, but lacks the nuanced jasmine depth of the original. Mimosa adds a powdery softness. The drydown is where the similarities fade. You get patchouli, but it's a cleaner, less earthy version paired with a prominent, almost soapy, white musk. Not bad, just different. I'd say it captures maybe 82% of Coco Mademoiselle’s essence, sacrificing some complexity for a more straightforward, crowd-pleasing scent.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is moderate. Expect around 4-5 hours on skin, maybe 6 on clothes. Projection is decent for the first hour, creating a subtle but noticeable scent bubble. After that, it sits closer to the skin. It's office-appropriate, but not a powerhouse.
