The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Chanel's 1957 Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that embodies the brand’s legacy of elegance and simplicity. Created by perfumer Olivier Polge, this composition opens with the bright freshness of bergamot and pink pepper, which then gives way to the heart notes of orange blossom and jasmine, creating an aldehydic floral bouquet. The base, anchored by white musk, orris, and cashmeran, adds a powdery warmth that is both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a more intimate experience, as it reads best close to skin rather than from afar. The aldehydic top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so a few sprays will ensure the powdery musk base lasts throughout the day.

“The flowers are never precise. They’re abstract.”
