Perfumer: Olivier Polge
Scent
The fragrance opens with a sparkling citrus burst of lemon and bergamot, transitioning into a rich aromatic heart of juniper berry and cypress. Dry cedar and vetiver with earthy, smoky undertones form the base, while musk and vanilla add a soft, comforting warmth. The overall effect is fresh yet deep, evoking a misty forest landscape.
Season and wear
Based on its fresh and woody character, this fragrance is well-suited for spring and summer, offering a refreshing lift. It also transitions gracefully into autumn, where its earthy and smoky facets provide warmth. In winter, it can be worn for a subtle, comforting presence, though its light nature may require more frequent application.
Sillage and longevity
Sillage is moderate to soft, creating a personal scent bubble rather than a loud projection. It is suitable for intimate settings and office wear, as it does not overwhelm. The fragrance lingers close to the skin, inviting closer interaction. As an Eau de Toilette, longevity is expected to be moderate, typically lasting a few hours on skin. This is a cautious estimate, as actual wear time varies with skin chemistry and environment. It may require reapplication for extended wear.
Perfumer and bottle
Released in 2021 as an Eau de Toilette. The perfumer is Olivier Polge. The selected 125 mL bottle follows the capacity used for earlier CHANEL images where an equivalent existed.
