Bleu de Chanel

MasculineBy Jacques PolgeRated 4.2/5 · 21,469 reviews

grapefruit · lemon · mint

Bleu de Chanel opens on a crisp citrus, grapefruit and lemon lifted by mint. The heart of ginger and jasmine slides into a base of cedar and vetiver, where incense and sandalwood leave a smoky trace. Wear it on cool windy days, when the city wakes up.
