BAZAAR Fragrance Awards 2018: Best Fashion Fragrance

POWERFUL FEMININITY

An ode to the style, passion, and distinction of the Chanel woman, Gabrielle Chanel EDP evokes the fiercely independent spirit of its namesake. Crafted by perfumer Olivier Polge, the fragrance is based on a pure conception of a dream flower, its heart beating of ylang ylang, jasmine, and orange blossom warmed up by white musk and creamy sandalwood. Mandarin peel and grapefruit zest with a hint of blackcurrant light up the scent, giving it a radiance that commands attention.

FINER POINTS

The scent breaks free from established norms, and its flacon follows suit. Where luxury is often associated with a heavier glass, Gabrielle Chanel EDP goes against the grain with its exquisite thin-walled glass bottle—a remarkable technical feat that showcases the light-filled fragrance in all its purity.

Born Gabrielle Chanel, the icon is known around the world by her legendary nickname, Coco, though only a few personal friends dared use it. With this fragrance, Mademoiselle Chanel’s true identity shines through, leaving a floral halo around those who aren’t afraid to be themselves.
