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.
