by Jacques Polge

Chanel 31 Rue Cambon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Polge. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Green, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Woody, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on 31 Rue Cambon: Acquired

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.

About

Opens with a distinctive peppery green burst before settling into a soft, powdery iris heart, intertwined with creamy ylang-ylang and delicate rose. As it evolves, a warm, earthy patchouli and woody labdanum base emerges, giving it a sophisticated and somewhat retro appeal. It's a complex dance of bright florals and grounded woods with a touch of vintage flair.
