‘Unbound by confines and limits. Bleu De Chanel L’Exclusif is a fragrance for the deeply free-spirited man who is on the ultimate quest, and who sees every limit as an opportunity to push beyond it.’ – Chanel
‘A dense, sophisticated, and complex composition… a concentrate of exceptional raw materials. The most magnetic facet of Bleu de Chanel (…) With the creation of this new interpretation, I wanted to go further with the woody notes, to bring even more intensity (…) By broadening the spectrum of the woody olfactory family, we naturally end up with leathery notes, which I wanted to be particularly amber and resinous.’ – Olivier Polge
‘It opens silently. The first impression is warm, steady and woody, exuding confidence without being overtly boastful. At its core is New Caledonian sandalwood, sourced through Chanel’s own supply chain and only the oil-rich heartwood is used so to ensure both purity and respect for the land. The extraction is meticulous, producing a sandalwood that is smooth and enveloping, with a character that feels rare. Cistus labdanum threads through it, adding a resinous depth that lends the fragrance its shadow and a sense of movement toward the unknown. Rather than rush forward, the scent builds in slow, deliberate layers. The amber-woody trail is magnetic and lingers like a thought that returns long after a conversation has ended. Richness is balanced by softness, making it as much about how it smells to you as how it’s perceived by others.’ – L’Officiel
‘Bleu De Chanel L’Exclusif is an ambery-aromatic fragrance. Complex, surprising, and intense, it is the ultimate expression of Bleu De Chane. Designed like an Extrait de Parfum, Bleu De Chanel L’Exclusif is a complex and intense ambery-aromatic fragrance with a spellbinding trail. Its woody notes, the emblematic signature of Bleu De Chanel, have been accentuated, lending the scent a warm quality. Leathery, ambery, and resinous notes make L’Exclusif the most mysterious of all the Bleu De Chanel fragrances. An indefinable creation that fully unfurls on the skin. The radical lines of this new cubic bottle accentuate its unique shape, making it a true statement piece and conveying the power and sophistication of Bleu De Chanel L’Exclusif. A precious object and a visual representation of this fragrance’s extraordinary intensity. An exceptional creation intended for those whose singular vision sets them apart.’ – David Jones
