Ive smelled this one before Ive smelled it. It does come off as familiar and somewhat unoriginal. Im not sure that it reminds me of Coco M., but that could be.
It is a beautifully refined fragrance. It opens with a citrus accord that seems less fruity / more elegant than citrus usually is except in Chanels. It is Chanel-like with its almost perfect blending (Almost because I detect a slight violet note in the background.) The tea, vetiver, jasmine and cardamom of the heart notes, also carry a Chanel-like signature a smooth texture of florals and natural light green with a bit of warmth provided by the spice. Elegant. For the base Im not at all sure of what Im sniffing. It, too, is smoothly textured and blended, and about the only note I can determine is the cedar I think but it could be the labdanum.
Tendre is true to its name: a soft fragrance that stays quiet, refined, and remarkably smooth. It would be excellent when both style and discreetness are in demand, but Im not sure that it delivers enough unique character to be more than a classy office scent.
