What wearers say
“I'm not sure what you guys are talking about when you claim this doesn't have longevity or last. My bottle was purchased from the Chanel website in 2024, and after roughly 2 years of maturation, 3 sprays offers monstrous performance. Heavy projection for the first few hours and then moderate projection for the next several after that. It's easily noticeable as a skin scent the next morning until a shower.”
“I'm SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED by the new reformulation! Smells so cheap & skanky! Like chemicals, hits you in the face, & then fades after 10 minutes... They probably skimped on raw materials to cash in!The one I remembered is 50ml original, very warm & gentlemanly, medium sillage, lasts 1-2 hours, not very strong projection, but very beautiful. Not pushy, inviting.”
“The opening is to die for. I only wish it lasted a bit longer. It makes me wanna respray way too often, which probably is not too good, since the drydown is also fairly nice and the fragrance otherwise has decent overall longevity.”
