HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Les Exclusifs de Chanel 1932 by Chanel is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Jacques Polge. The composition opens with aldehydes and citrus notes like bergamot and neroli, creating an air of crisp sophistication. As it evolves, the scent unfolds into a heart of rich florals such as jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, supported by the powdery warmth of orris root and musk. The base notes of sandalwood, opoponax, and incense add depth and a lingering sense of luxury.
Apply lightly — this fragrance develops its full character within two hours. The aldehydic opening is bright but fleeting, so allow ample time for the rich floral and woody base notes to emerge.
