This smells beautiful, elegant and classy. It's one of those perfumes you want to wear when you're going to the ballet, opera, a fancy dinner or just a romantic date. This isn't a fresh scenting perfume that'll wake you up. It's quite difficult for me to describe the scent but you can definitely ask to smell it at any store.
Not only does it smell amazing, but man does it last. I usually have to spray perfumes a minimum of 3 times to feel like they've stuck to me, but this? No, no, no. I'll spray this a MAXIMUM of one and a half because it's so strong and believe me when I say the smell will last you the whole day.
It's very expensive but worth it since you don't end up spraying it so much. Other perfumes are cheaper but you usually end up bringing them in your purse for touch-ups. With Coco Mademoiselle? never.
I've had my first bottle (50 ml.) for almost 3 years now and with moderate use, I still have about 1/3 of the bottle left.

I've been around, and I've tried almost every drugstore facial cleanser out there, but this? This isn't like the rest. It's absolutely horrible.
OK, now that I have your attention let me tell you how amazing this cleanser actually is, along with the scrub version. First of all it smells amazing and you feel super squeaky clean after you've washed your face. I find that it does dry my skin out a bit, but I use moisturizer and that solves the problem. Either way, we should always be using moisturizer. It doesn't necessarily tighten my skin when it makes it dry, and it's not a dry as in my-face-will-start-peeling dry. Just not-oily-at-all dry. That's great.
For the products effectiveness: I came across this because I had a friend in high school who never seemed to get breakouts. I asked her what she used and she told me about this gem. I started trying it and woah, my zits slowly began to disappear!
Trust me, whenever you'd see me back then, I always had some sort of zit or scab from a previously popped zit on my face. Now? I get zits once in a blue moon.
I tend to switch up my cleansers not because this one doesn't work but rather because I don't want my skin to get too used to it and stop being affected by it. It costs anywhere from $11-15, depending on where you buy it - but it's worth the price. It not only lasts a very long time, but you don't even need to use one full pump because it lathers up really well.
There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't try this cleanser, unless you have extremely dry and flaky skin. My skin's not oily, it's more towards combination/normal, and this works great.

I decided to give LUSH a go, and it's so amusing to see how everyone boasts about this cleanser, when even the lady at LUSH does not recommend it. I bought the small tub to try out. Sure, it smells and looks super healthy and good for your skin which is great.
On the other hand, the main problem using this product was that you're expected to put a small amount in your palm and mix some water into it. Fair enough? No. I did that and it just looked like watered down mud - not even thick enough for me to consider a cleanser. Alas I tried again, thinking maybe I put too much water the first time, but nope, same thing. I did this one more time and got the same result.
By the third time I just decided to rub it all over my face and what not. I did not really feel it cleaning my skin. I felt like I put watery mud on my face and rinsed it off. My face didn't even feel clean, and the price? Wooh, too expensive for a tiny pot. Especially considering that you'd probably have to use more than just a 'bit' to get it creamy enough to actually do something to your skin.
The great thing was I complained about it at the store and the sales lady told me I could bring it in and exchange it for something else. I'm trying some samples she gave me now and we'll see what happens.
