Yesterday was a big day for perfume lovers, the Les Exclusifs de Chanel fragrances were released. The scents are Chanel's foray into the niche perfume market, each is a uniquely crafted beauty selling for a pricey $175 each. There are ten scents total, four from the existing range and six new ones from Chanel nose Jacques Polge. An article in the March 2007 House and Garden, profiles Polge and how he he hopes these scents will keep the legendary perfume traditions of Grasse, France alive and well.Ina at Aromascope is a dedicated perfume lover and she hustled herself to the Chanel boutique to test out the scents (even bringing her own sample vials to take a few sprays home). She has created notes on each of the new scents such as the flowery Rue Cambon 31 and the grassy Bel Respiro but the overall takeaway is that the scents are amazing and definitely worth a sniff. Of Coromandel, the ambery Oriental one that I'm most eager to try (even though the heavier scents are often my downfall) , she says it was "instant mad love." Get thee to a Chanel boutique, stat.
