Doesn’t have and any staying power at all. I threw my bottle away!
SK12051980 – :
I like this but it’s not a favorite; it seems best for fall, as it’s not a fresh-airy-citrusy scent at all. It seems like the marigold (tagetes) thing keeps this one down to earth, even gives it kind of a hygienic-dirty feel. This smells quite a bit like Coco Mademoiselle from what I remember. I never liked that one enough to actually purchase, but I was glad to have bought this, it seems a bit less citrusy up top and lacking something in the base that CM had, without patchouli or something. I don’t think it lasts as long or has the projection that CM has, but at this price I don’t mind, especially as it’s not a favorite. I actually bought this perfume because I think the bottle is pretty, and I love the name (sanderlings are cute little birds that I always see along the beach running along the waterline when I vacation on the Gulf Coast.) I would guess in this case it’s someone’s name, but I can still just think of the cute little birds when I wear it.

very cheap fragrance, lacks depth )) I would not have purchased it myself. I received it as a gift and sometimes I just spray it in my room to somehow use it.
Firetil – :
Not a bad fragrance for this price but I don’t like it. It’s so sweet and floral. Lilac and jasmine notes are so much and made it a warm fragrance to me! I think it’s not suitable for summer.
Overall I don’t know why it smells like honey to me!
sergeiy1974 – :
I just smell a warm bergamot and marigold combo. Gives me the black tea vibe. I spray it super freely but the longevity is weak.
niugacha – :
I like this quite well, it borders on almost a love for me. A great Fall daytime scent, which I have been looking to add some Fall daytime scents to my perfume stash. I can’t pick out specific notes, so nothing is dominating here, but rather the notes are blended together nicely. I feel this is more of a mature woman’s scent, age late 30’s and up; not really a younger gal’s scent, in general.
A nice break from the candy yum yums that seem to dominate the fragrance world these days. Classy, a slight warmth, inviting. This is what one of my mom’s classy friends or the classy aunt would have worn when I was growing up….so to me, this has a slight vintage type scent about it. I will add that I think this is one that if you do blind buys, this might not be a safe blind buy, as it seems like a fragrance people either really like or dislike. Not really a general crowd-pleasing scent, imho.
I quite like the bottle design. The bottle is classy and classic looking, which imho is a wink and a nod to the fragrance’s scent itself. Very nice. Not a powerhouse frag; can be a little heavy if sprayed heavy, but softens quickly. Within less than an hour, you need to be up close to detect this, so it is not a room-filling fragrance.
Darion – :
I finally got this in the mail and I love it! I don’t have too much experience with Coco Mademoiselle aside from that one time I tested it in the mall, but I had Miss Dior EDP, and I find that the drydown of this is similar to that of Miss Dior EDP.
Sanderling scared me when I first sprayed it because it sort of smelled like some of my mom’s older scents that have rose and carnation, but then it quickly changed (in 1-2mins) to a scent that smells like Miss Dior EDP. But it didn’t distinctly smell like rose in the beginning, just dark and more mature, and this really isn’t a rose scent aside from the first minute or two, so if you don’t like rose, I’d still recommend.
I don’t know, patchouli is not in the notes, but in the middle of this scent’s development cycle, I can distinctly smell Miss Dior’s green, almost minty patchouli wafting up to my nostrils. However, when comparing this scent to Coco Mademoiselle, I can understand why you’d say this has no patchouli because the patchouli in Coco Mademoiselle is very strong and dirty on my skin.
I also don’t find this scent sharp in a citrusy way or otherwise, but it is definitely a floral scent (so it’s less fruity and juicy than Miss Dior or Coco Mademoiselle), and it does have a sweetness to it. As the scent wears, the tagetes become more prominent, and the scent becomes drier and musky. A bit like dryer sheets, but as a person who dislikes the dryer sheet vibe, I have to say that this is soft and pleasant and clean.
The tagetes are the most distinct flower in this scent, and the other flowers blend seamlessly. The tagetes are what differentiate this from Coco Mad and Miss Dior, but you only really smell them if you sniff your wrist close up, so I can understand why others smelling you would think it’s Coco Mad. The drydown really just smells exactly like Miss Dior’s.
Ooh, also, Miss Dior always gives me a headache, but this does not! However, unfortunately, this does not last at all, and I’m not one to complain about longevity. It seriously lasts for around 1 hour. But! You really can’t beat the scent itself for the price…it’s so classy. It’s such a big bottle and I only paid $14 for it. I wouldn’t wear Coco Mad to work or school because it can get a bit strong, but I would totally wear this. There’s no reason not to buy it. Just do it.
Edit: This is great layered with Molinard Vanille!
kostake25 – :
I brought this fragrance online as a blind buy based on the reviews here. I own Chanel mademoiselle Eau de parfum and am running low so based on the comparison from the amazing reviewers here thought I would give it ago.
At initial spray it definitely makes you think Mademoiselle, however I agree with some of the comments about how it lacks the depth and the staying power. I sprayed mademoiselle on one arm and sanderling on the other. Mademoiselle has the patchouli note coming though, is definitely stronger and more sophisticated . After a few hours I can still smell mademoiselle whereas Sanderling has almost vanished. I definitely wouldn’t purchase this as a replacement to mademoiselle but it is a nice fragrance to wear and is relatively cheap.
лоне-вольф – :
HMMMMMMMMM. WONDERFUL! I love Sanderling. Usually my heart beats faster for sweet, balsamic, vanilla like fragrances, but Sanderling is a gorgeous floral scent. Not overbearing, but surrounds you nicely in a light, yet very noticeable way, and the only flower gal where I have back up bottles of. You can’t beat the price. She carries herself like a fragrance 4 times the price. I wear her when I want to be safe, when I want to smell great without being right under people’s nose with a big statement frag. This is what I grab for when I visit my boyfriend’s parents, or for a job interview. Even though she is less flamboyant than me and the scents that make me go crazy, she is by no means a wall flower. Sanderling is a really great scent for the right occasions with awesome longevity.
Anomalous – :
Chanel coco mademoiselle was never a favorite for me.too much citrus patchouli for my taste no wonder that I like sanderling a million times more
I completely agree with below review.sanderling is a cheap perfume which doesn’t smell cheap even a little and it’s versatile.some people get a dirty/urine like smell from mademoiselle on the contrary sanderling has a clean scent(not too much clean and detergent like)thanks to it’s musky florals
ل can be a good gift and an everyday fragrance
سندرلینگ شباهت زیادی به مادمازل داره اما بشخصه خیلی بیشتر دوسش دارم چون هیچ خبری از پچولی مرکباتی مادمازل نیست.یه عطر معتدل،همه پسند و بسیار پرکاربرده که باتوجه به قیمتش ارزش خرید بالایی داره.درست برعکس مادمازل که بعضا ازش بوی اردار مانند و کثیفی میگیرن،سندرلینگ رایحه تمیز و نازی داره.درصورتیکه برعکس،ساندرلینگ رایحه تمیزی داره
اگه به ترکیبی از ترنج و گلهای ملایم همراه با نت های پایه کافی که کمی عمق و بلوغ به عطر اضافه کنن،علاقه ندید حتما امتحانش کید

Chanel mademoiselle was my signature perfume when I was younger so I know it very good.sanderling looks like mademoiselle but not very much.if I spray two of them with close eyes it’s easy to say which one is Chanel and which one is Sanderling.but I think it’s a good thing that Sanderling is not really a copy.I can enjoy both of them
Chanel mademoiselle is mix of flowers and citrus and patchouli.Sanderling is mix of flowers and citrus too but less citrus and no patchouli.instead there is musk and vanilla and woods.mademoiselle is much much sharper and stronger.Sanderling is more soft and simple.I like that mademoiselle has a character and people can notice it but it’s not my signature now because too much citrus and patchouli make it sharp and give me headache.no headache in Sanderling.also there is a flower in Sanderling that smells very good.maybe targets.I don’t know.Sanderling smells cleaner.Sanderling is four season perfume but I like it more in spring.sillage of Chanel is better very much.Sanderling is moderate but longevity is good.I like it and I think it’s a very good perfume.you can buy it if you like mademoiselle or not.if you want a cheap perfume that smells good and everybody like it and you can use it always Sanderling is good for you
شنل مادمادل سالها عطر امضای من بود برای همین خیلی خوب می شناسمش.ساندرلینگ شبیهش هست اما نه خیلی.اصلا نمیشه گفت کپی مادمازل هست و این به نظر من چیز خوبی هست.میشه از هردو لذت برد.شنل مادمازل میکس گلها و مرکبات و نعنای هندی هست.ساندرلینگ میکس گلها هست با مرکبات خیلی کمتر و بدون پچولی.مادمازل شارپ تر و قوی تر و پیچیده تر هست.ساندرلینگ ملایم تر و ساده تر هست و بخاطر ملایم بودنش برعکس مادمازل سردرد ایجاد نمی کند.بوی تمیزتری هم دارذ.مثل مادمازل چهارفصل هست مخصوصا بهار.پخش خیلی کمتر دارد اما ماندگاری خوب.اگه یک عطر ارزون اما خوشبو که همه خوششون بیاد و همیشه بشه استفاده کرد خواسته باشید چه مادمازل را دوست دارید چه نه می تونید سندرلینگ را بخرید

Sanderling is very similar to Coco Mademoiselle, not quite as strong (and no patchouli note), or as long lasting. I applied 3 hours ago, and I can just barely detect it on my arm. It is a good value, so reapply to your hearts content. Bottle is nice too.
ido – :
It does smell a lot like Coco Mademoiselle in the opening and also in the middle part, but it lacks Coco Mademoiselle’s dept and its gorgeous dry down. If Coco Mademoiselle is in 3D, then Sanderling is like a 2D image of it; nice but not enough.
-ВИШЕНКА- – :
Tart floral fruity opening, along with something reminiscent of nail polish remover. I’m noticing a pattern with less expensive perfumes – many of them have unpleasant synthetic notes in the beginning. It fades pretty quickly and you’re left with a fruity, aquatic “clean” fragrance. Fits right into the current style of light fruity florals, a with a little more emphasis on the fruity. There’s a subtle leathery note underneath the fruit and flowers too that adds interest to an otherwise mundane fragrance. Nice perfume – it’s certainly good value for the price. The bottle is also quite nice.
serega221287 – :
I bought this a month ago when I ran out of Coco Mad, and being just before christmas I couldnt afford to spend £100 on a 100ml bottle of CM….So I tried Sanderling after reading these reviews. I have to say that I love Sanderling, and to me it’s as good as it gets when comparing it to CM, I wont be buying CM anymore as this is every bit as beautiful. I know it is missing the Patchouli, and I love Patchouli, so I sometimes do as lovealwaysalisa suggested below and use a little Patchouli essential Oil on my skin before spraying Sanderling, which then makes it (to my nose) an absolute 100% CM likeness. I dont always use the Patchouli oil, becuase Sanderling is such a pretty perfume, but for times that I really need a Patchouli fix, that’s what I do. I have a large perfume collection so perhaps don’t wear CM on a daily basis, so for me it is a perfect likeness when wearing occasionally, but for someone that uses CM regularly they MAY or may not tell a difference, I can’t say, but what I can say is I have worn Sanderling on one wrist and CM on the other and I really cannot tell them apart….. just ONE thing is different….. the Sanderling lingers long after the CM has disappeared, which can only be a good thing.
One other perfume to layer with Sanderling is a very light dab of Al-Rehab Choco-Musk…. OMG the mixture of the 2 perfumes are fabulous.
I also need to add that some people were saying that longevity is not good, well we’re all different, but it lasts on me for approx 6 hours…not too shabby…BUT for those saying it lasts for only 2 hours…Chanels re-formulations of Coco Mad are lasting much less than that, so IF you’re buying this as a dupe for Coco Mad, then it DOES last longer than the real Chanel… people might be comparing to vintage Chanels, but the NEW Chanels are terrible for their lasting power, so Sanderling wins on that score.
csqq – :
Sanderling was a thoughtful sample as a gift in swap!!! As much as I love coco mad, it is expensive to buy!!! That is till sanderling!! It is everything I love about coco mad without big bucks and I smell more rose compared to coco mad making it perfect for summer…
Bzdyuha – :
I am wearing Sanderling since this morning. At the first impression I thought it a good, but a little annoying smell. The blend between lilac and musk in the beginning is to much for me, but one hour later I was enjoying wearing. Musk overcomes the purple note, that fades a little and turns the fragrance soft showing a hint of vanilla that I adore. 6 hours later all I got is musk, vanilla and lilac. I never have smelled Chanel Mademoiselle before, so I found similarity with Miss Dior Cherrie.
I think that in a week I will be loving it. Definitely not for everybody. Try before you buy.
OlaLa – :
Já tive Sanderling há algum tempo. Quanto à sua dúvida sobre a semelhança com Coco Mademoiselle, a resposta é sim. Sanderling, na minha opinião, não é um contratipo qualquer, nada que começa c/ o cheiro do seu inspirado e depois fica c/ aquele cheiro forte de álcool adocicado na pele e faz vc se arrepender de ter jogado $$$ fora.
Ao contrário, uma cópia digna, bem trabalhada.
Uma ótima opção custo benefício ao Chanel.
Fixação mediana, com rastro.
Sinto uma pequena diferença para o CM, porque o Sanderling tem a bergamota e o almíscar mais pronunciado, deixando-o mais luminoso que o CM, este último é um pouco mais fechado.
Dica: o preço do Sanderling fora do Brasil é irrisório, principalmente, tendo em vista sua qualidade.
Lexxey – :
Sanderling is similar to, but not a dupe for, Coco Mademoiselle. It’s like a choir missing some of its voices-the song just can’t sound the same. There are the floral notes, you can smell lilac and a hint of rose, then the marigold joins in with some bitterness and almost drowns them out. I smell no discernible woods. But there are positives- for an hour or so you get the impression of CM…but, it is not strong or balanced enough to stay together. As a fragrance by itself with no comparisons to any other, it is quite nice. The bottle is heavy and very pretty, the longevity and sillage are average, but the price is amazing-less than $20 for over 3 ounces. You can spray away all day long. So I do.
19kuzy76 – :
I can’t quite make up my mind about Sanderling. The lilac note is dominant for me, and for once does not have that artificial chewy note that I so dislike. The rose and marigold are perfectly balanced with the lilac, creating (on my skin) a slightly bitter purple tone, very floral, round, rich, and velvety. The woods seem to be just that- undestinguished “wood” notes, which is perhaps why I can’t say that I love this.
I wish that Sanderling had a clear cedar and sandalwood base- that would improve this scent for me, adding nuance and depth. As it is, I feel like Sanderling contains a synthetic wood note, and it is just too bland for my taste. A clear base is required to balance the heady florals, and the white musk and vanilla that show up in the dry down.
Overall, if you like very “purple” accords, heavy florals, and do not care for wood much, this may be a good scent for you. I am still on the fence about this scent. Parts of it I like very much, but the florals are just a little too much, without a solid base.
I strongly recommend testing before buying. This is worth trying, but I’m not sure that it’s a good fit for everyone…or maybe it’s just not a good fit for me.
sanya1990 – :
Floral, light citrus, wood notes is what I get from this with a dry down that adds a little vanilla and a powdery vibe. It does smell SO SIMILAR to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (which was on my want list but I didn’t want to pay over $100 for a big bottle). Sanderling is a GREAT alternative. On me the longevity is about 6 hrs where I can still smell it. Sillage is good, where people within a couple feet can smell me. I love this fragrance. I don’t get that dose of patchouli unfortunately, since there is none in Sanderling but there is something that gives off a similar less protruding smell. That can be either a good or bad thing depending on whether you like patchouli as much as me or not. I bought a big 3.3 oz bottle of Sanderling for $13.99 and free shipping. a great cheapie fragrance for those who have Chanel taste but not the budget! 🙂 I also really like the look of the bottle and it’s cap. There is an elegance to it.
I’d personally wear this any season of the year day or night, but see it;s appeal as a spring/summer scent. But I prefer it more in fall and winter because it can be a little too strong for me in the heat.
NOTE: Sometimes I put on a base of actual patchouli oil and spray this over when I really miss that patchouli that CM has. Works well.
direx10 – :
Similarity with Coco Mademoiselle is good. But the only problem was the projection. Its too skin scent. I have to spray it like 7 times so it can project more, but the longevity is good. It stays quiet long on my shirt.
But I love this, it relief my longing for Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Still in saving mode now. Been longing for CM since December 2014 but this coming 23rd March payday I’m going to buy CM and no looking back. Soo excited !!
dza755InsuffBooni – :
This scent confuses me. I was about to throw it in the Goodwill box because it was so harsh when I originally tried it but gave it one more spray. Today it’s an interesting scent with a lot of depth. It opens with a pleasantly medicinal note, probably the combination of wood and tincture of rose, eventually moving into a citrusy floral, ultimately settling into a floral musky ending. The price is sensational too. I’m guessing this does better in colder weather and is very dependent on skin and body chemistry. In any case, isn’t it worth trying for $15 for EDP?
Sillage: soft, 1-2 ft
Longevity: reasonable, 3-4 hours
Fabulosity: a vase of carnations
Value to price: fabulous
6/10
kos20031 – :
Definitely agree with the ideas of soft and delicate.
Inoffensive and chic.
Really subtle rose notes, amongst light spice and wooden notes.
Other floral notes seem to be subdued.
Ideal for winter/fall/autumn, evening or day.
fwi942Diobtetty – :
Okay guys, just did a side by side comparison of Sanderling and Coco Mademoiselle. Used Sanderling Lotion under both. (Using Sanderling Lotion under CM actually actually increases the sillage and longevity of CM. So for you CM lovers who complain about the sillage and longevity of CM after it was re-formulated, there you go.) While I really have enjoyed wearing Sanderling, I decided to buy CM. They smell similar but CM is more full bodied. CM I would wear to a wedding or a black tie affair. Sanderling is for more casual wear in my opinion. Yes it smells similar, but CM is a more robust smell of whatever makes them smell alike. It is smoother too in the dry down. After Sanderling dries down, I smell more of the carnation. After CM dries down I smell more of the rose and citrus. The smell is more refined. I like both and will continue to use both. Both in this contest, if I had to choose one. It would be CM.
jewubusc – :
This definitely alludes to Coco Mademoiselle, especially when you catch a whiff of it, as opposed to sniffing right up against you wrist. Not as strongly citrusy on me, compared to CCM, which makes Sanderling more wearable year-round. (I tend to like my citrus scents more for the summer.) This is a very versatile scent — classy enough to go from work to a night-out with friends.
Today I’m layering it with a smidge of Al-Rehab Green Tea perfume oil.
kuzma74 – :
I decided to buy this thanks to a few recommendations from others on here and I must say,wow!This fragrance is beautiful and so sophisticated the longevity is great and the silage I would say is moderate.I was afraid this would smell too clean and it doesn’t;bound to get you compliments.
den—– – :
A $20, 100ml bottle of perfume, largely compared to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle…I couldn’t resist!
I don’t think this was meant to be a dupe? Not sure. But it smells like Mademoiselle’s sister, without a doubt. On my skin, it lasts just as long as CM, but the projection isn’t quite there unless sprayed heavily.
Sanderling has a slightly rougher first opening, and it’s missing that gorgeous underlying sweetness that I adore in CM. But don’t worry, for $20, I think only a regular Mademoiselle wearer would be able to pick that up, but even then, it would be tough.
I’m extremely pleased with my purchase. If you can’t afford Mademoiselle or would like to save some dollars, while still smelling just as sophisticated, go for this. You won’t be disappointed.
beganov – :
I bought it based on fragrantica reviews and it was a perfect choice! It is, indeed, very similar to coco mademoiselle, which I love! For those who want a CM feeling without spending too much, sanderling is the perfect choice! Loved it!
Excelente perfume, muito parecido com o coco mademoiselle e beeemm mais barato! Vale a pena!
Geseprave – :
Never previously tried or owned CM but this perfume on it’s own is captivating. Sumptuous florals intermingled with fresh greens, my senses are tingling all over. Almost like walking through a floral garden with freshly cut lawn. About 10 mins in I can really smell the geranium aspect in background. This is fantastically done and I cannot believe how cheap it is for the quality ($20 for the set with body cream, what the?!?!) If only the international postage was so cheap as well… I agree with the person who says that this can be worn by virtually anyone. I would be slightly more inclined to wear this during the Spring/Summer months, but I’m sure it could work either day or evening.
dvOOps – :
I love the presentation of the rose in Sanderling. As someone who is not a real fan of rose scents unless coming from an actual flower, I am really impressed by the smooth musky rose note. The beautiful citrus opening is accompanied by a honeyed scent from the tagetes (marigold) which gives the florals some depth.
What a perfectly becoming, classy fragrance. It’s flowers are clean, it’s sillage is moderate and it has decent lasting power. I imagine this would suit almost any woman, for almost any occasion.
I consider myself lucky that I haven’t crossed paths very often with Yves de Sistelle’s Sanderling, which is practically impossible to find where I live in Australia, nor Chanel’s hugely popular Coco Mademoiselle, so both are fresh and new to me.
Thank you CathieH for the decant. I will wear it with pleasure!
kiohy – :
Sanderling is a cheap version of Coco Mademoiselle. It’s not as good and Long-lasting as Chanel and, I can’t agree that it is similar to Love in Paris Nina Ricci and Dior Miss Cherie. These two perfumes have much better quality than Sanderling, imho.
qwer86 – :
This is mainly just informational for those who don’t know. The perfume compared to sanderling is not Coco Mademoiselle eau de parfum, it is Coco Mademoiselle pure parfum. As in the kind that only comes in a teeny tiny bottle, it’s a perfume extract with different notes including a heavy helping of lychee.
I do think this smells like coco mademoiselle pure parfum that I was lucky enough to be able to try. If you want something like the luxury extract this would be a great buy. Honestly it’s not nearly as beautiful as chanel, but what do you expect when you’re comparing $20 to a mL and $20 for a whole bottle?
Very nice almost fruity, sweet rose, lilac, and the green notes are very deep almost like patchouli. I gave it to my mom because she REALLY liked it but I am a little bit envious.
koopjoop – :
I love this perfume and it is fast becoming my signature scent. I don’t have Coco Mademoiselle I’ve only tested it in the department store and there is more than some similarity in the two. Considering the price difference I think Sanderling is a fantastic buy. I’m not that good with perfumes to say it’s this or that that makes a perfume different, but this one is certainly that – different. I’ve read comments on Fragrantica about other perfumes and yes it’s popular so there would be a lot of people wearing it. When I wear Sanderling I know I’m a bit different from everyone else – I’m very adverse to being the norm. It’s like when my husband and I built a house in 1987 here in Australia and I would guarantee you that every new house had a pink and grey kitchen – not this little black duck.
Projection and longevity for Sandering is great I spray it in the morning and I still get wafts of it up until I shower that evening. I just purchased a backup bottle of Sanderling – so that says it all for me.
hunter-19-80 – :
I have a new bottle of Sanderling EDP for women. In my opinion, it does not smell like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. It doesn’t smell like any Chanel fragrance. I don’t think it even comes close.
I am not a fan of Coco Mademoiselle either. I do have experience with it.
Sanderling may be similar to Yves Rocher’s So Elixir EDP for women. Others have compared So Elixir to Coco Mademoiselle as well. I think there is more similarity, but neither of these fragrances are CM dupes or even close to being dupes.
Sanderling is a sharp, unsettling floral that smells like it contains some patchouli. Although, I see no patchouli listed in the notes section.
You can include John Varvatos for women in this group of fragrances some people compare to Coco Mademoiselle. I own all three, and none of them really capture the high quality, carefully crafted elegance of Chanel.
John Varvatos, Sanderling, and So Elixir are all perfectly nice. Please do not expect too much if you are trying to replace your Chanel Coco Mademoiselle with one of these fragrances.
dilion – :
I have to admit, I have never smelled CoCo Madamoiselle. At least not that I can remember. If I did, it didn’t make a memorable impression on me. Sanderling is an effervescent perfume. It tingles the inside of my nose, like champagne does when you drink it. The scent is bright and beautiful. I smell the jasmine and the tinture of rose (I think that is what tickles). It makes me think of summer, sunshine and clear skies. Can’t wait to wear this on the first day of sunshine and warm clear skies. That is what this perfume reminds me of. It is sunshine in a bottle.
Kivals – :
Usually, I can’t wear scents with marigold or tagetes because they smell stinky on my skin. Here, they’re toned down and are more of an undercurrent rather than being more in the overcurrent or forefront, so this works out well for me.
I get the Coco Mademoiselle comparison (more like CM less the patchouli) but it also triggers a memory of Eau de Gucci. Looking at the notes, both have several notes in common, prominent lilac, and is slightly soapy with just a touch of powder. I would actually classify this as an oriental floral rather than a chypre floral because of that.
A joyful fragrance to wear in spring with Easter coming because of the lilac and the price can’t be beat!
trapeznik74 – :
I blind bought this… and I LOVE it. It does smell very similar to Chanel Mademoiselle, though not as strong. It smells expensive, only a little sweet. To the common nose, most people would completely not be able to tell the difference unless they compared the two directly.
Sillage is exactly what I like: just a little bit more than arms length, though at that distance, the scent is very faint. So that when your significant other comes closer, he can smell it very clearly… but for everyone else, it is not overwhelming them at all.
Currently my favorite perfume next to CK Beauty, out of the ones I own.
amouhodorry – :
I smelld it today, on my frend’s skin and first I tought, it was mademoiselle, coco. But it’s more light and great perfume!

Does anyone know Sanderling Shine?
otctoolsest_XL – :
I wouldn’t spent 100$ for Chanel CM, but CM is a definitely a scent every perfume lover should have and at least try. Sanderling is very similar with CM,i would say little softer. I got it after all good reviews and that was a good shot. I wore it today and everybody thought that is CM, so you still smell like a 100 bucks perfume but for less less then that
You should get this one if you like CM, but cant afford it, the quality and the lasting power are as good as CM.
One more time again i love Fragrantica!
neuer – :
This just arrived at my front door–blind buy as result of glowing reviews on this site–and I must say, “Wow!!”–This is Coco Mademoiselle for $20.00. Unbelievable! I wear CM frequently, but of course it’s $75.00 a bottle easily. I’ve only had this on for 2 hours, so I might follow-up later, regarding longevity. Projection is probably 5 feet. Grab this one if you’re a Chanel fan!!
Ventris – :
This one is so lovely, classic and feminine. Can work for any occasion and it’s always appropriate. Definitely smells like CM without the overwhelming patchouli note. The bergamot is fresh and the florals are clean. Great for just about anything, any time. You cannot beat the price either which is always a nice bonus.
Orefeania – :
One of the best blind buys ever. This scent is fantastic, fresh and classy in every way. I am so happy I purchased this. It also seems to have good sillage and lasting power. I would recommend this one to anyone who is thinking about it. I do sense a Chanel likeness in this perfume.
vaselevskii – :
I blind bought this today, given so many people think it’s very similar/identical to Coco Mad (my all time fav). I do think they are slightly alike, just without the patchouli, more rose and slightly soapy florals. I think it’s a very nice frag, it comes for a decent price and I don’t regret buying it; But for me CM is a ‘love’ and this is a ‘like’, there is a distinct difference in smell on my skin.
vik05 – :
Similar to CM…. So TRUE !!! I ‘ve ordered a 3.4oz bottle only for $16. and It’s 90% similar to CM. 10-15 min after spraying,I can smell Some different note than CM. but those two almost identical. the staying power is good too. A perfect inexpensive alternative for CM lovers 🙂

For the most part, Sanderling bears an uncanny resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle…but only after you’ve worn the latter for hours, and ran through a surprise thunderstorm with no umbrella.
Sanderling starts off with a thin, high-pitched blend of bergamot and lilac that could pass for CM at a distance, but ultimately lacks the warm, velvety patchouli that lends the Chanel a distinct luxuriousness. Once Sanderling settles, which takes all of fifteen minutes, what’s left on the skin is just a faint echo of the soapy fruit that appears at the end of CM’s drydown. But make no mistake–for a few glorious minutes between Sanderling’s screechy opening and its rapid disintegration, the juice is nigh indistinguishable from CM at its most potent.
With 100 ml bottles priced around $20, that’s a fairly good deal for CM lovers on a budget.

I just received this today and love it. My husband bought me Madamemoiselle for our anniversary but I have only worn it twice because of the price. This can be my daily go to. I love it.

I was curious about how this one was going to treat the tagetes. I generally like lilac in fragrances. So, I bought unsniffed and can’t say I’m disappointed. Although not particularly transported, either.
I like the fresh opening – with the tagetes offering some bottom and interest. The florals enter and interact in a really pleasant way. I really enjoy this phase
