LES EAUX DE CHANEL

PARIS-RIVIERA

A luminous fragrance that combines the sweet, tangy freshness of Sicilian orange with the delicateness of neroli. Sandalwood and musk bring a touch of warmth for a scent as radiant as the Mediterranean sun.

THE INSPIRATION

1928. Gabrielle Chanel builds her villa, La Pausa, on the Côte d’Azur, a few years after opening a new boutique in Cannes. With breath-taking landscapes, the French Riviera becomes high society’s hot spot. The sweetness and excitement of this life is captured by the floral, solar scent of PARIS-RIVIERA.

“Biarritz inspired me with the vitality of its waterfront. PARIS-BIARRITZ is a composition that reflects this spirit with its bracing, zesty and dynamic notes.”

— Olivier Polge, CHANEL In-House Perfumer Creator
