Coco Mademoiselle Purse Spray

Never would I presume to tell you what fragrance to wear; fragrance is such a personal, subjective thing, and one woman's "floral, powdery" dream is the stuff of another woman's nightmares. However, when it comes to fragrance packaging, I think that the Coco Mademoiselle Purse Spray is the work of a genius. I have had my Purse Spray for years now, and these are just some of the travelling mishaps that it has survived:1. A tumble down the escalator in Canary Wharf underground (for those of you who have never been to this particular tube station, it's a bloody long escalator!)2. A long-haul journey in a bag that was so squashed when it re-appeared, every single other tube and bottle had broken or burst3. Being run over by one of those electric carts that ferry you about in expensive hotel resorts4. Being left on a car dashboard in Arizona, in August (115 degrees)So, it's a hardy little thing, this purse spray. It seems to be shock-proof, heat-proof and squash-proof, and as a bonus, it's also unbelievably chic. I think that it's a million times more sophisticated and modern than a boring old glass bottle - and it actually works out cheaper per ml than buying the 35ml Eau de Toilette!Anyway, I'm not telling you all of this to convince you to wear Coco Mademoiselle - as I said before, fragrance is a very personal choice; the point of this little post is that I can't understand why ALL perfumes wouldn't have this packaging option? Surely it's the ultimate in portability and convenience? The mind boggles...Chanel Coco Mademoiselle "Twist and Spray" Eau de Parfum, £70 for 60ml (one refillable Purse Spray and 3 x 20ml refills)
