Houbigant Chantilly is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1941, created by Marcel Billot. Chantilly opens with Fruity, Bergamot, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Spicy, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Houbigant's Chantilly carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Chantilly is a divisive yet beloved vintage gem, capable of smelling like dish soap to some, but a comforting, spicy, powdery dream to others. For the true experience, hunt down an original Houbigant bottle.

About

Imagine a bright burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly softening into a warm, gently spiced heart of carnation, rose, and ylang-ylang. The dry-down is an elegant embrace of creamy vanilla, tonka, and woody sandalwood, rounded out by the earthy depth of oakmoss and a hint of musk.
