Bleu de Chanel EDT

Chanel Bleu de Chanel EDT opens with grapefruit, lemon, and mint in a combination that is immediately distinctive — not the generic fresh-citrus opening of a thousand other masculines, but something that has been considered at a level that immediately separates it from the competition. This is Chanel's standard applied to the fresh fragrance.

Jasmine and labdanum form an unusual heart for a fresh masculine — the jasmine adding a white-floral depth, the labdanum a slightly resinous warmth that begins the transition toward the woody base before the heart has even fully declared itself. Bleu de Chanel is always evolving, always moving toward something deeper.

Sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver create a dry-down of exceptional warmth and longevity. Bleu de Chanel EDT is one of the great masculine fragrances of the modern era — worthy of the house that created it.
