Bleu de Chanel (Cologne, 2010) is cool grapefruit, lemon and mint with smoky woods; its base holds incense, cedar, vetiver and sandalwood. Chanel No 5 Eau de Parfum (1986) is a powdery white-floral over soapy sandalwood, with aldehydes and ylang-ylang on top and sandalwood, oakmoss and vanilla underneath.
