Perfumer: Olivier Polge
Scent
The opening is a bright, zesty burst of grapefruit and lemon, which quickly settles into a refined heart of lavender and geranium, with a subtle floral undertone from orange blossom and rose. As it dries, creamy sandalwood, white musk, and a touch of vanilla emerge, creating a soft, powdery base that feels both clean and comforting. The overall effect is elegant, understated, and effortlessly chic.
Season and wear
Based on its composition, this fragrance is inferred to be suitable for spring through autumn, with its fresh yet warm character fitting well in mild weather. It may feel particularly appropriate for daytime wear in spring or evening occasions in early fall.
Sillage and longevity
Sillage is estimated to be moderate, projecting close to the skin with a subtle but noticeable presence. It is not overpowering, making it suitable for intimate settings and professional environments. As an Eau de Parfum, longevity is estimated to be moderate, typically lasting several hours on skin. However, actual wear time can vary based on skin chemistry and application conditions.
Perfumer and bottle
Released in 2016 as an Eau de Parfum. The perfumer is Olivier Polge. The selected 75 mL bottle follows the capacity used for earlier CHANEL images where an equivalent existed.
