Chanel Bleu de Chanel Parfum 2018 in the coveted gold-letter edition, a generous 100ml bottle of the intensified parfum concentration.
A woody aromatic fragrance that opens with lemon, bergamot, mint and artemisia, unfolds into a heart of lavender, geranium, green leaves and pineapple, then settles into a rich base of cedar, sandalwood, ambroxan, tonka bean and amber wood.
Its subtle, indefinable blue - too black to be called blue, yet faintly glowing blue within the black - gives it a magnetic, unmistakable masculine character.
The thick dark blue-grey glass bottle radiates quiet strength while staying understated and elegant.
Truly one of a kind and utterly incomparable.
