Chanel Les Exclusifs de Chanel 28 La Pausa is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Jacques Polge. Les Exclusifs de Chanel 28 La Pausa settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, and Iris. Chanel's Les Exclusifs de Chanel 28 La Pausa carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a masterpiece, but its notorious fleeting performance makes it a heartbreaker for many. Beloved for its ethereal iris, some find it disappears too fast, while others cherish its delicate, intimate charm. A pure, subtle Chanel experience, but don't expect it to project across a room.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its intimate sillage and clean, non-offensive iris accord make it perfect for the office or casual wear. While elegant enough for formal events, its poor longevity might disappoint, and it's certainly not suited for active sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an utterly natural, cool, and earthy iris, conjuring images of dug-up roots and damp soil rather than a sweet bloom. This powdery, slightly waxy core is subtly underscored by a whisper of soft, clean leather and a dewy rose, creating a sophisticated, almost melancholic, florality. It dries down to a sheer, elegant skin scent, maintaining its refined, muted character throughout.
