How it moves
Grapefruit, lemon and mint hit first, the way an opening line should. Ginger, nutmeg and jasmine are where it actually lives. Last to go: incense, sandalwood and cedar.
What wearers say
22,100 people have rated it, and they land at 4.42 out of 5. That is close to consensus, which almost nothing in this hobby achieves.
- Prized for its refined citrus-incense-woody blend; described as versatile, elegant, and inoffensive in the best possible way.
- The EDP is generally praised for solid longevity and smooth, moderate projection that suits both office and evening wear.
- A dependable all-occasion signature; critics say it is 'safe,' widely worn, and pricey for something so mainstream and expected.
Who made it
Jacques Polge composed it in 2014, for Chanel in France. Chanel's versatile citrus-woody-incense answer to the modern man; endlessly wearable and near-universally liked.
