Chanel 1932 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Polge. 1932 opens with Grapefruit, Pear, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Floral, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Chanel's 1932 carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. A divisive scent that sparks strong opinions, 1932 is either a sparkling, clean floral masterpiece or a challenging aldehydic enigma. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for those who dare to be different.

About

Opening with a crisp burst of aldehydes and bright grapefruit, 1932 quickly ushers in a heart of lush, clean florals, dominated by powdery iris and sweet jasmine. As it settles, a soft, creamy base of musk, vetiver, and subtle vanilla emerges, offering a sophisticated warmth. There's an underlying touch of incense, adding depth without heaviness. It's chic, airy, and undeniably polished.
