The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Sycomore Eau de Parfum by Chanel is a Woody Chypre fragrance designed to embody the strength and texture of wood — rough bark, crackling branches. Created by Jacques Polge and Christopher Sheldrake, this scent revolves around vetiver, blending smoky and spicy notes with an earthy warmth that stands out from traditional woody fragrances. The composition is a proof of Chanel's legacy of innovation in perfumery, offering a distinctive perspective on the familiar chypre structure.
This fragrance has a strong base that takes time to bloom, so applying it in the morning allows for full development throughout the day. The earthy warmth is best appreciated close to skin rather than from a distance.
