Chanel has released a new fragrance that pays tribute to the city of Paris and its women. Paris-Paris is part of the Les Eaux de Chanel collection, whose scents are inspired by places that were important to the house's legendary founder, Gabrielle Chanel. You can read more about her life in the post Introducing an icon: Coco Chanel's extraordinary journey.
Paris-Paris is a creation of Olivier Polge, Chanel's fourth in-house perfumer. He is the son of Jacques Polge, who worked as Chanel's perfumer for 37 years. Since joining Chanel in 2013, Olivier Polge has been behind many successful fragrances, including those in the Les Exclusifs de Chanel and Les Eaux de Chanel collections.
The new fragrance seeks to capture the essence of Paris with its delicate, pale tone, reminiscent of early-morning light on the city's stone buildings. The bottle has a simple, elegant design with rounded edges and a black cap bearing the iconic double C. The scent is a sparkling floral composition that reflects the effortless elegance of Parisian women. It features Damask rose, fresh citrus, pink pepper and patchouli.
According to Olivier Polge, the sparkling floral composition was inspired precisely by the effortless elegance of Parisian women.
Paris-Paris joins the other Les Eaux de Chanel fragrances, which honour the places that shaped Gabrielle Chanel's life and style. The collection began in 2018 with three fragrances: Paris-Biarritz recalls the seaside resort where she opened her first fashion house, Paris-Deauville celebrates the Normandy town where she opened her first boutique, and Paris-Venise evokes the Italian city from which she drew inspiration. In 2019 came Paris-Riviera, recalling the sunny Côte d'Azur where she spent many summers, and in 2021 Paris-Édimbourg – a tribute to Scotland, where she enjoyed hunting and fishing with the Duke of Westminster.
