Launched in 2020 by Chanel and crafted by perfumer Olivier Polge, Le Lion Eau de Parfum is a bold oriental fragrance that blends the freshness of citrus with the warmth of powdery woods and musk. The composition opens with bright bergamot and lemon, providing a crisp contrast to the heart notes of labdanum and patchouli. These earthy elements give way to an enveloping base of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk, creating a rich blend that is both comforting and alluring.

Application Tips
Apply Le Lion Eau de Parfum in a single generous spray; the top notes are bright but short-lived, while the powdery woods and musk base will continue to develop throughout the day. It's best for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves from fresh to warm.
