Chanel 1957 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Olivier Polge. 1957 opens with Musk, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Orris, Vanilla, and Honey. Chanel's 1957 carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This is Chanel's 'your skin but better' scent, a masterclass in understated elegance. Some call it a clean, musky masterpiece, others find it a bit too subtle or even 'basic' for its price tag. It's divisive but ultimately a sophisticated crowd-pleaser.

About

Imagine a plush white cashmere blanket scented with aldehydes and a soft, clean musk, then dusted with the finest iris powder. Pink pepper and bergamot add a fleeting, crisp sparkle, leading to a heart of delicate jasmine and orange blossom. The dry down is a comforting hug of warm honey, cashmeran, and subtle cedar, creating an ethereal and luxurious skin-like aroma.
