Launched in 2016 by Chanel and crafted by Jacques Polge, N°18 Eau de Parfum is a scent of fine jewelry — glittering, fruity, and woody, with oriental accents that add depth. The fragrance opens with lively and syrupy fruity notes, covered in ambrette seeds, leading to a heart filled with floral and powdery accords. The base is warm and musky, with a touch of iris and violet, creating a blend that feels like rare gems nestled together.
