The ultimate expression of CHANEL Perfumer's know-how, LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL is a territory of absolute freedom. Freedom of creation first, since each fragrance is inspired by the heritage of the House and the singular style of Gabrielle Chanel, which embodies the culmination of a strong idea.

Freedom from raw materials, as here, with Le Lion and its sparkling citrus fruits – lemon, bergamot – which bring the essential lift that befits the first moments of a great perfume. All in an amber accord of cistus ladanifer and vanilla that unfolds balmy, velvety and leathery notes.

It is not to animals that Olivier Polge devotes his new creation, but to the vision that the House cultivates. Wild and majestic, the totem animal and astrological sign of Gabrielle Chanel is the symbol of a force that prefers to protect rather than dominate, and by the same token the emblem of absolute elegance.

Nourished by the many faces of the lion in the universe of the House, Olivier Polge endeavored to transpose olfactorily this radiant strength of character of which the feline, at CHANEL, is the embodiment. This appropriation of the animal by the House gave him the idea of ​​in turn leaving his mark on an archetype of power: oriental perfumes.

Taming the codes of this olfactory family, he imagines a trail of refined intensity, contained by a soft and warm signature. A sophisticated composition whose strength emerges without ever overflowing. A lion who does not need to roar to win.

Resolutely elegant and oriental!
