The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1941 by Houbigant, Chantilly is a fragrance that captures the essence of French elegance and warmth. Perfumer Marcel Billot crafted this Oriental scent with a delicate balance between bright citrus notes and rich, warm spices. The composition opens with lemon, bergamot, and neroli, leading to a heart of carnation, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, rose, and jasmine. It settles into a base of sandalwood, vanilla, benzoin, oakmoss, tonka bean, and musk, creating an inviting aroma that feels both lasting and cozy.
Apply Chantilly to pulse points for a lasting warmth that builds over time. The citrus top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the rich base notes that emerge after an hour. Ideal for evenings when you want a scent that lingers close to your skin.
