Chanel No. 46 was launched in 1946, a time when the world was rebuilding and reimagining itself. This fragrance captures that spirit of renewal with a blend of citrus brightness and woody warmth. The opening notes of bergamot and orange give way to a heart of jasmine and rose, grounded by sandalwood and vetiver in the base. Chanel No. 46 is not just a scent but an embodiment of elegance and resilience.

Application Tips
Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, one or two sprays are sufficient. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly into a more substantial floral-woody base that lasts throughout the day. Best applied close to skin for an intimate, long-lasting effect.
