CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle

Proving our long-held opinion that you can never go wrong with Chanel, the house’s much-loved Coco Mademoiselle is predicted to become the best-selling perfume by a very long way this festive season.

Created by perfumer (and long-time Chanel collaborator) Jacques Polge in 2001, and worn in the glossiest of campaigns by Keira Knightley ever since, Coco Mademoiselle is an unrivalled oriental fragrance, softened by a floral heart of mimosa, jasmine and rose.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

Originally created in the 1970s, Yves Saint Laurent’s spicy oriental Opium was reinterpreted in 2014, and soon captured a new, younger market. Unlike the original, Black Opium features a warming top note of coffee, which soon gives way to the decadent heart of tuberose and jasmine sambac. 

With its glittering black bottle and hedonistic campaign starring Zoe Kravitz, it’s the perfect present for any rebel at heart.
