LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL stands as a monumental fragrance collection, uniquely designed to encapsulate the essence of the House of CHANEL and the illustrious life of its founder, Coco Chanel. Each scent in this collection is a liquid narrative, a blend of exquisite notes that together tell a story of elegance, innovation, and intimate moments from Mademoiselle Chanel’s journey.

The genesis of LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL is deeply rooted in the personal history of Coco Chanel and the pivotal moments of the brand she built. Each fragrance is a homage to her life’s chapters, whether it’s a reflection of her time spent in Deauville, her love of certain flowers, or her revolutionary approach to fashion and femininity. For instance, Coromandel reflects her affection for the Chinese lacquer screens that adorned her Paris apartment, translating her passion for beauty and oriental art into a rich, enveloping scent.
