The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Chanel and crafted by Olivier Polge, N°1 de L'Eau Rouge is a floral fruity fragrance for women that embodies the brand's lasting elegance. The composition opens with red berries and citruses, bringing a vibrant freshness to the forefront. This bright opening gives way to a heart of rose and jasmine, which seamlessly transitions into a base of orange blossom, iris, and musk. N°1 de L'Eau Rouge is a harmonious blend that captures the essence of modern femininity with its crisp, sweet, and powdery character.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm and lasting effect. The citruses and red berries are bright but fade within two hours, so the powdery musk base will carry the scent through the day. Best worn during cooler weather when its warmth can be appreciated.
