About This Perfume
Chanel Bleu de Chanel Parfum smells like cool minty citrus air with piney lavender. It opens with lemon zest, bergamot and mint, moves into lavender, pineapple and geranium and settles on sandalwood, cedar and amberwood, among other notes. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
As a parfum, it works across all four seasons. It suits casual days. Released in 2018. Perfumer: Olivier Polge.
It lasts through a full day and carries a little beyond your personal space.

- Sample first if: you are new to the house; try a decant before a full bottle.
- Skip if: you want something light and airy.

Inside the Chanel picks
Coco Mademoiselle (2001) reads as bright citrus creams, lychee and jasmine powder, opening on grapefruit, orange and bergamot and drying down to patchouli, vetiver, white musk and bourbon vanilla. 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.
