Sanderling Yves de Sistelle for women

I bought this based on the reviews here and I must say that I concur: this is quite similar to Coco Mademoiselle - without the dominant patchouli note. Sanderling is a lighter fragrance than CM, less in the way of sillage, longevity is good. After the first hour or so, Sanderling dries down to a noticeable skin scent which continues to last for quite a while. It's not a carbon copy of CM to be sure, but Sanderling has a similar classy feel to it which is nice.

Overall, a great value - smells much more expensive than what I paid for it and I'm quite pleased with this blind buy. Thanks to all who recommended it.

(Edited to add: When I sniff my wrists, Sanderling makes my nose a little stuffy, which does not happen with CM. Even so, I do like this.)

I blind bought this due to the reviews stating it is similar to Coco Mad. And it is. Like others have stated it is softer, the CM the patchouli does not stand out as much. Unfortunately on me this only lasted about an hour, my skin needs a stronger base note ( like the patchouli in CM) in order to have any lasting power. I enjoy this and the price is amazing, just needs to be reapplied. Great summer scent!

Sanderling, a delicious spring-like fragrance. I think it's a bit more fresh and floral, less deep than Coco Mademoiselle but still a very good alternative!

Yes, I agree ! Sanderling is SO MUCH better than Chanel Coco Mademoiselle !

The fragrance is identical to Coco Mademoiselle, just as classy. If anything, Sanderling is actually a smoother, richer blend. Even friends and family can't tell any difference between CM and Sanderling.

Sanderling has better silage and longevity, and
smells expensive ! A great secret treasure found at a wonderfully affordable price !

I decided to give this one a chance. At the moment at kijkshop the price is even more amazing 8.24 euro for 100 ml EDP. I already own Chanel Mademoiselle but the bottle is almost empty so let's try this beauty :)

I have to say: wow. I was rather sceptical when decided to get this. So big bottle so cheap and close to Chanel. But its really similar. In my opinion is a bit softer and compose better on the skin. With CM i have always this bergamot overdose which makes me sneeze. Sanderling is definitely more floral and rosy. I can smell this green note that roses have in the perfumes, luckily it doesn't last long as i don't like it. It smells very spring-like, just like flowers in bloom, i consider it light but longlasting with good sillage. I'm happy i got it.

Definitely similar to Coco Mademoiselle! I absolutely love this scent, its lovely and lasts a long time on me! Smells very expensive however the price is very reasonable compared to Coco. Will definitely repurchase!

I recieved this little treasure from Fragrance Alley yesterday and I do not regret my blind buy one bit!!thanks to the skilled parfum critics here, a spot on description of Sanderling was provided for me to make an educated decision. $16.00 and change later, (whoohoo do I loooove a quality bargain!) this gem was on my dresser.
Let me begin by saying I have never experienced Coco M so I am judging Sanderling purely on it's own merits and beauty! Crisp, zesty and refreshing are the bergamot and green notes that open the show, after shining brightly they graciously step aside to make way for the gorgeous floral heart.. and what an entrance they make.. full bloom roses, clean soapy jasmin and fragrant lilac mingle and dance a fragrant ballet around my wrists wafting up to my nostrils, keeping me enthralled till the finale of sensual musky woods and the last little trail of sweet vanilla. Bravo, bravissimo!! A delightful performance Yves de Sistelle Sanderling, I give you a standing ovation for the fragrance as a whole and an 8/10 for sillage
9/10 for lasting power
Good show!

I personally have never smelled Coco Mademoiselle but I will say this is "Chanel like". I have had several other Chanel perfumes either I owned or sampled. This is a good one. Kind of an off choice, not from a well known perfumer but I am happy I bought it! I got this for a song on Overstock!

♥ Happy perfuming!

What aan amazing review Citadel!

Amazingly identical to Coco Mademoiselle, without sparing an inch of the latter's complexity. I owned CM for years but stopped buying it because I fell out of love with it. Even though I still enjoyed it, when I ran out, I wasn't ready to fork over all that cash for another large bottle, especially since I had recently fallen head over heels for the original Coco. So for several years, I did not wear CM, although I wistfully thought about owning another bottle.
After reading recommendations on this site for Sanderling, I ordered a cheap but enormous bottle online and...wow. It's identical. This is not one of those scents that you would smell on someone and go, "that perfume is so similar to CM" or "this has many of the same qualities of CM"--this is the perfume is one you would smell and say, "you must be wearing CM." Amazing. Longevity and sillage are the same, as well. Worth every penny for a person who wants a cheap backup of CM to wear during the day or for someone who loves the original but is too cheap at the moment to pay for it.

This scent makes me so happy. You're practically wearing Coco's smile on you.

Absolutely Amazing! I couldn´t believe how beautiful this is at such a cheap price. I`m not familiar with Chanel Coco Madamoiselle but I do know Chanel Coco. A truly elegant fragrance. This particular one by Yves de Sistrelle goes on very strong and boozy, but dries down to an absolutely beautiful fragrance a la Chanel. It definitely has staying power. I sprayed just a little on my arm and went for a walk with my dogs for an hour and it was still there and even developed into something very classy. I´m so pleased. I bought the gift set of 100ml plus the body lotion all for under 14 Euros and I really can´t complain. It lasts longer than some of my expensive perfumes. So if you`re looking for something reasonable but classy, this is the one to go for. I can´t praise it enough.

I also got this on reviews alone, that are informative, truthful, and seem to have covered every aspect of this perfume that I might consider important before a purchase. This is a very nice perfume. If Coco Mademoiselle were only 20.00.....even 10.00 more than this perfume, I would still buy Sanderling. That isn't to say I don't like Coco Mademoiselle, it's to say that Sanderling is every bit as lovely and special, to me. I must say, there are some very direct and specific people here that make me look forward to reading their reviews, agreeing or disagreeing. I'm going to go overdose on fumes now. If I am found dead, you will know not to buy what I smell like!

I purchased this based on all the reviews, and I'm glad I did. Wow,I'm amazed at how this smells exactly like coco mademoiselle. I've been looking for a perfume of good quality that meets up to chanel's coco madem. It also last for a long time. It actually gets better as the hours pass by. Dont let the price fool you. there are alot of imitations out there and they dont come close to this one. I'm a perfume freak, so I do have alot of perfumes, but I'm very attracted to these type of scents. So just want to thank everybody for there reviews.

I absolutely love this perfume. I bought it about 6 months ago and I still adore it. It definetly smells like Coco Mademoiselle, but maybe even a little better. Usually I spray it on around 8 o'clock in the morning and when I get in the shower around 11 o'clock at night I can still smell it. I definetly recommend this perfume. It's an amazing scent that lasts all day without reaplying. It's 100 ml and costs only €9,99 here in the Netherlands.

I came across this and liked the bottle, I can only agree in amazement: it smells almost similar to Chanels Mademoiselle!? It's astounding! I picked it up expecting a flaw? The longevity is also good. I'll spray some on for a whole day soon, surely I will get a headache? No? I shall keep you posted.
In the meantime: It's a 'Chanel' on a budget and seems to pass the test. If you don't mind wearing something that imitates a Chanel for not even 10% of the Chanel price, I think others won't notice. I'm amazed at this amazing impostor.

PS did I mention the bottle is 100ml? Amazing, eh? : )

✿::update::✿

I wore this the whole day and I am pleased to say; NO headache! It smells remarkably close to Chanel Mademoiselle and the silage is fine. To myself it becomes a close to the skin smell, I can smell it very well on my clothes and wrists. But others smell it when they are around me without that it's obnoxious and THINK it's a Chanel! Ladies, this is a wonderfully made budget 'Chanel impostor' in a pretty bottle to boot!

I bought a bottle today at the Kijkshop, for 9,99 euro's!, thanks to the reviews here!

Great smell!!

Thank you, Minousdepoes. I just bought my bottle of Sanderling at "The Kijkshop" for 9,95 euro (for 100 ml !!) and it to my nose it is exactly similar to Coco Mademoiselle. And such a beautiful bottle...

Two friends of mine bought it as well and agree that it is similar to Coco Mademoiselle!

Indeed pretty similar to Coco Mademoiselle.
In holland we have the "KIJKSHOP" and the price there is at this moment 9,95 Euro So al NL sandeling lovers, take your chance.

Wow, this just came in the mail today what a pretty bottle very elegant and when I sprayed it on soo pretty and floral lilac, rose powdery this is the same exact perfume as Coco Mademoiselle but cheaper I cannot believe how similar this perfume is to Coco Madem and this even has longevity on the skin just as Coco Madem this is a keeper I think I will be buying another bottle cannot beat the price $20 as opposed to Coco Mademoiselle $75 price so if you love Coco ladies buy this it is the same exact perfume.

I don't know if this is true, but a salesperson in a perfumestore-chain that up to this summer had this in their offerings constantly, just told me that this will be discontinued...

I'm surprised that it really smells like a classic and it not as bad as I thought. For such an inexpensive scent it's quite interesting. I'm not sure if I would like to have such a big bottle though. I guess I'll first have to re-test it on my skin. Today I only tested it on paper.

PS: I re-tested it again on skin. On me it developed a sort of harsh note and my boyfriend didn't like it. So it's not for me.

This does indeed remind me of Coco Mademoiselle. I like this better though, on me it's a bit fruitier and just a bit sweeter than CM. And you can't beat the price, I paid a little under 10 euros for 100 ml. Excellent!
[eta] I don't find this similar to Chance or Miss Dior Cherie at all. Chance just smells totally different to me and MDC to my nose is all about sweet strawberry.
[eta2] I've been wearing this all day and the sillage and longevity are both very good. I put 3 sprays on at around 11:30 am and my husband says he could still smell it before I took a shower at 9:15 pm. This stuff is awesome!

And very funny, but I had an extra backup of this one that I totally forgot about! For you ladies loving Coco Mademoiselle and Miss Dior Cherie but would like a more affordable alternative go for this one!

I had the chance to smell it many times at a friend of mine who received it as a present. First of all, I must say that Sanderling is very similar to Chanel Mademoiselle. They are both chypre floral perfumes. Nor Mademoiselle, nor Sanderling are my tipe, I don't like them at all, but if someone would ever have the curiosity to smell it, let me tell you that it seems to be Mademoiselle`s sister....the only modern chypre I like is Midnight Poison from Dior. Otherwise I am a very big fan of aldehidic chypre fragrances, classics scents.
