Chanel N°22 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1922, created by Ernest Beaux. N°22 opens with Neroli, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, and Lily Of The Valley, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Iris, and Vanilla. Chanel's N°22 carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A legendary aldehydic white floral from Chanel that’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect pristine elegance that’s often called 'timeless' by its devotees but 'dated' by its detractors. It’s certainly not for everyone, but if it clicks, it’s pure magic.

About

N°22 opens with a sparkling, almost dizzying burst of aldehydes, married with the delicate freshness of lily of the valley and neroli. As the initial effervescence settles, a lush bouquet of white florals emerges, showcasing creamy tuberose, sweet ylang-ylang, and classic rose, spiced with a hint of nutmeg. The drydown reveals a sophisticated base of powdery iris, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of vanilla, creating a soft, elegant, and ethereal aura with a slight incense-like depth.
