How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.
Vetiver
Vetiver, harvested from the roots of a tall grass native to India, exudes an earthy aroma that is both dry and slightly sweet. Its scent profile ranges from smoky and leathery to green and fresh, depending on how it’s distilled and aged. This versatile note thrives in tropical climates and has long been cherished for its grounding qualities.
Patchouli
Patchouli emanates from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a bush native to Southeast Asia. Its scent is deeply woody with hints of musty earth, warm spices, and a subtle sweetness that can be both comforting and complex. This versatile note has been a staple in perfumery for decades, often used to evoke feelings of nostalgia and grounding.
Olivier Polge
Founding perfumer · 158 fragrances · b. 1972 · French
“My father taught me that a Chanel perfume must have a certain allure — you must want to lean closer.”
Olivier Polge succeeded his father Jacques as the in-house perfumer-creator at Chanel in 2013, becoming only the fourth person to hold this role in the house's history. The weight of that inheritance would paralyze most perfumers, but Polge has carried it with grace and creative courage. His contributions to Chanel — including Gabrielle, No. 5 L'Eau, and the Les Exclusifs range — honor the house's DNA while introducing a lighter, more contemporary sensibility. He is also celebrated for his work before Chanel, including Viktor & Rolf's Spicebomb.
