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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

A radiant floral explosion, Une Fleur de Chanel opens with a bright, crisp burst of green notes and zesty citrus. This invigorating start mellows into a heart of pure, delicate jasmine and the subtle, waxy elegance of camellia, creating a fresh yet sophisticated bouquet. The journey concludes on a soft, creamy sandalwood base, grounding the florals with a refined warmth.
