Chanel Boy smells like a vanity table in 1958, with grapefruit laid over the top.

How it moves

Up top: grapefruit, lemon, lavender and geranium. Enjoy them; they will not stay. Underneath, rose, heliotrope and orris settle in and take over. What is left hours later is Tonka Bean, coumarin, musk and sandalwood, and that is the part people follow you for.

Who made it

Olivier Polge composed it in 2016, for Chanel in France. Named for Boy Capel, Coco Chanel's great love, it plays a classic fougère structure against a powdery, feminine heart.
