The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017, Gardénia Extrait de Parfum by Chanel is a Floral fragrance for women and men. This exquisite composition centers around the lush white gardenia flower, layered with lactonic notes that evoke skin warmth and an animalic undertone that adds depth and intrigue. The musky and woody base rounds out the scent, grounding it in a sophisticated elegance that remains true to Chanel's legacy of lasting appeal.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum warmth and longevity. The lactonic and animalic notes will develop closer to the skin, so it’s best suited for intimate moments or a day in the office where its subtle complexity can be appreciated.
