The Story
Bleu de Chanel Parfum is the most intense and sophisticated interpretation of the iconic Bleu de Chanel line. Launched in 2018, this parfum concentration was crafted by in-house perfumer Olivier Polge. It opens with a fresh burst of grapefruit and lemon, then deepens into a rich heart of ginger, nutmeg, and jasmine, resting on a powerful base of sandalwood, cedar, frankincense, and amber. This is a fragrance for the man who wants to make a lasting impression without shouting.
