The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Les Exclusifs de Chanel 1932 Parfum by Jacques Polge is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that encapsulates the elegance and sophistication for which Chanel is known. The composition opens with aldehydes and bergamot, creating an initial freshness that transitions into a heart of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, enveloped in powdery accords of orris and carnation. The base notes of vetiver, musk, opoponax, and sandalwood create a warm and enduring presence.
One to two sprays on pulse points is sufficient — the longevity ensures it stays close to skin for hours. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, so avoid layering with other scents to fully appreciate its nuanced evolution.
