Our verdict on Les Exclusifs de Chanel Sycomore: Favourite

This is a grown-up, elegant vetiver with serious cult status. Divisive over price and its similarity to Encre Noire, but for fans, it's a 'holy grail' sophisticated woody, smoky experience that few can match.

About

Imagine wandering through a hushed, ancient forest after a rainstorm. Sycomore opens with a crisp, aromatic burst of cypress and juniper, quickly settling into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver and a distinct, unlit tobacco leaf. Aldehydes soften the edges, preventing it from becoming too harsh, while a whisper of sandalwood and violet adds a refined, almost powdery smoothness to the dry-down. It's a clean yet deeply natural wood scent.
