The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Chanel and crafted by Olivier Polge, Bleu de Chanel Parfum is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that has quickly become one of the most reviewed fragrances in the catalog. It opens with bright citrus notes like lemon zest and bergamot, balanced by aromatic elements such as mint and artemisia. The heart features lavender and geranium, while the base settles into warm woods like sandalwood and cedar, complemented by tonka bean and amberwood. This fragrance won the Fragrance Foundation's 'Fragrance of the Year – Men's Luxury' award in 2019 and is widely praised for its exceptional versatility, making it suitable for any season or occasion.
Apply one or two sprays liberally, as the citrus opening is bright and fades within an hour. The warm base notes will emerge gradually throughout the day, ensuring lasting comfort without overpowering.
