Our Verdict - 31 Rue Cambon Eau de Parfum

A modern take on a classic chypre, 31 Rue Cambon is pure Chanel refinement in a bottle. It's a polarizing scent, with some finding it effortlessly chic and others put off by its indolic opening or vintage feel, but fans rave about its complex elegance and beautiful drydown.
