First of all, you should know that this sensation is quite normal. It is explained by a habituation effect that no longer allows us to detect a fragrance on ourselves the same way we did when we first started wearing it. However, do not fear: other people will still be able to smell and appreciate the fragrance on you.

There is, however, a simple way to enhance your usual perfume: use one or two complementary products from the line, such as a cream or body lotion, for example. The scent that is delicately left on your skin will enhance your fragrance all day long.

We invite you to discover all of the products in the Fragrances section of our website.

Selecting a fragrance is a personal experience that depends on our habits and olfactory memory. This memory is often linked to personal emotions or our lifestyle.

To be advised in selecting a CHANEL fragrance, we recommend that you visit a brand-authorized retailer. A beauty advisor will be able to provide recommendations after speaking in-depth with you about what you are looking for. To find the authorized CHANEL retailer nearest you, please refer to the list of retailers on our website. You will also find a description of all our fragrances in the Fragrances section of our website.

The classic enemies of perfume are heat, air and light. We also recommend that you keep your bottle tightly sealed, store it in its original packaging if possible (if the environment where it is kept is overly bright), and of course, keep it away from sources of heat. You can make your fragrance last several years by following these simple recommendations.

At this time CHANEL makes very few miniature bottles, which are produced only for perfume extracts. However, the House regularly provides authorized CHANEL perfume retailers with samples of its Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum fragrances in the form of mini-sprays, which allow you to discover the fragrances.

To find the authorized CHANEL retailer nearest you, please refer to the Store Locator section on our website.

There are two ways to apply a fragrance:

-To the skin directly, to pulse points such as the wrist and neck, in order to intensify the fragrance. The way a fragrance reacts with your skin will create a very personal and seductive effect;
-To your clothing, to preserve the integrity of the original fragrance. However, you should remember that some fabrics are delicate, and perfume can sometimes cause staining. We also recommend always applying a fragrance to the inside of your clothing or to its lining.

LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL is a collection of unique fragrances that draws inspiration from the House’s history and the life of Mademoiselle Chanel.

The LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL collection is available through the CHANEL Online Boutique, in CHANEL Boutiques, and in the Fragrance department of selected department stores. You can find a list of these by referring to the Store Locator section of our website.

All share the same olfactive identity; however, each formula contains variations that amplify or enhance the perfume wearer’s desired effects. In addition, their concentrations are often different and more suited to certain lifestyles. A parfum is traditionally worn in the evening, whereas eau de parfum and eau de toilette formulas are more suited for daytime wear.

In order to preserve the integrity of the original fragrance, we recommend that you do not apply the fragrance to your skin, but instead that you spray the inside of your clothing or its lining.

The CHANEL Makeup Creative Studio recommends applying foundation with your fingers, or use the Foundation Brush.

With your fingers: Dispense foundation onto the back of your hand for optimal freedom of movement. Dab it onto your face, starting in the center and working outwards.

With a brush: Dispense foundation onto the back of your hand. Pick it up with the brush. Apply all over the face, starting in the center and working outwards.

Select light shades to illuminate the complexion, and dark shades to structure the face. Apply light shades of blush with a brush to the tops of cheekbones, and apply dark shades to the hollow area below the cheekbones. This contouring effect will add depth to your makeup.

You should select a foundation based on your desired makeup results, as well as your skin profile.

Knowing your skin type well is important for selecting a foundation texture (fluid, cream or compact) that suits you best. The skin should feel comfortable and free when wearing foundation.
You should always select a shade one level lighter than your natural skin tone to boost its luminosity. In general, foundation that looks dark on the skin does not compliment the complexion.

Do you want to create a sophisticated or more relaxed look?
We do not dress the same way for the office, going out at night or relaxing on the weekend.
The same is true for the complexion: makeup results can vary to suit our moods and desires.

For personalized recommendations, please contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

Use a lip liner to outline your lips and add colour before applying lipstick. This will help the colour adhere much better. Next, apply your lipstick. Blot any excess with a paper tissue, and very lightly dust your lips with powder. Finally, apply your lipstick once more. This will significantly extend its wear.

Makeup is applied differently for the evening than for daytime wear. For evening wear, choose a lighter shade of foundation to boost radiance. You can also emphasize your eye makeup or lipstick, which will stand out even better when paired with lighter foundation.

To receive personalized recommendations, please contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

Makeup often reveals our personalities or simply reflects our current moods. In reality, finding your own style means knowing how to select what looks good on you and what is to your liking from among the trends. There are some essential rules that don't change, for example, which foundation you should choose. Next, create the rest of your look based on your mood, desires, the season and the messages that you want to send to those around you. There are two ways to approach makeup: The first is a more understated approach, which focuses on enhancing your own beauty and natural radiance; the second is more free and spontaneous, a way of expressing your current mood.

To receive personalized recommendations, please contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

The two most frequent causes of this are choosing an ill-suited texture or not properly preparing the skin. Makeup bases help provide flawless wear.
Here is a tip: if you are going out at night and are afraid your skin might look oily, quickly rub an ice cube over your face, then blot your skin dry with a paper tissue. This will set your makeup in place and boost your radiance: magic!

To receive personalized recommendations, please contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

Do not apply moisturizer to your eyelids. Absorb any excess oil with a paper tissue, then lightly dust your eyelids with loose powder. To lengthen the wear of your eyeshadow, you can also dampen it with water before applying it.
Make sure that your applicator is thoroughly dry before placing it back in the compact.

Waterproof mascaras are formulated to not cause damage to the eyelashes. It is strongly recommended that you remove mascara with a waterproof eye makeup remover such as DÉMAQUILLANT YEUX INTENSE.

The creators of CHANEL makeup always recommend (just as for foundation) selecting a powder that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone, in order to brighten the complexion and boost its transparency.

There are several different types of masks available to meet the skin's various needs. As a general rule, you can use a mask 1 to 3 times a week.

If you are looking for a more targeted treatment that is adapted to your skin's specific needs, we recommend that you visit an authorized CHANEL retailer to receive tailored assistance from a beauty advisor. To find the retailer nearest you, please refer to our Store Locator section. You may also contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

A skincare product is most effective when it targets the skin’s needs precisely. To choose the best-suited products and to identify the care that meets your expectations, we recommend receiving a personalized consultation. Developed by CHANEL Research, it takes into account your lifestyle and skin characteristics to provide product recommendations that are completely adapted to your skin profile.

To receive a consultation, you may contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET, or visit an authorized CHANEL retailer.

As a general rule, use them in the following order: cleanser, lotion, serum (if your recommended regimen includes two serums, we recommend using one at night and one in the morning), followed by your daily moisturizer. However, this order may vary with certain specialized products.

To receive more advice, we recommend that you contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET, or visit the retailer nearest you.

CHANEL Research has made sensitivity a subject of study. This research has revealed that several different types of sensitivity exist: contact sensitivity, environmental sensitivity, and sun sensitivity. In order to determine yours more precisely, we recommend that you receive a personalized consultation, which will provide you with the most targeted product recommendations.

To receive a consultation, please visit one of our authorized CHANEL retailers, or contact the Customer Service Department of the CHANEL Online Boutique by calling 1-888-924-2635, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

There is no contraindication against this; in fact, sunscreen is a complementary step for daily skincare products. We recommend that you apply your usual moisturizer in the morning, wait a few minutes, then apply your sunscreen.
