The review
Serene scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Coco Mademoiselle.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Coco Mademoiselle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $78 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Coco Mademoiselle — the 10th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle is orange, bergamot and grapefruit at first, rose, jasmine and litchi at its heart and patchouli, vetiver and vanilla at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For timeless nerve. Bright orange and rose sharpen against patchouli and vetiver — the polished, grown-up signature that never dates.
