How it moves
It arrives on grapefruit, bergamot and orange — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Then the heart turns up — rose, geranium, jasmine and peach — and the whole thing slows down. Last to go: patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense and Tonka Bean.

- Reviewers praise its elegant, sophisticated character and strong longevity, though some find the patchouli or sweetness too heavy.
- A polarizing entry; admirers call it sultry and refined while critics feel it recalls other Chanel releases too closely.
