Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Eau de Cologne by Chanel, launched in 2016, is a fresh and invigorating composition that captures the essence of crisp citrus and green notes. The fragrance opens with vibrant bergamot and lemon, creating an immediate sense of brightness and clarity. This energetic top layer gives way to a heart of floral and spicy accords, adding depth without overpowering the freshness. The base notes of patchouli and musk provide a subtle warmth that grounds the composition, making it suitable for both day and night.
Apply this fragrance in light sprays, as it has a bright top note that fades quickly. The floral and spicy heart notes emerge after about half an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain its full character throughout the day.
