品 120 #10 2017 年 7 月 Although it is true thatno ready-to-buyperfumewill ever surpass the popularity and elegance of Chanel N°5, brands have been dedicating time to creating exclusive fragrances using exotic and rare ingredients. These carefully mastered scents represent exclusivity and beauty – a uniqueness that will make any woman stand out from the crowd. Les Exclusifs de Chanel is perhaps the finest example. This exquisite line, with simple, chic and vintage looking bottles, hide an array of scents, some created long ago while others represent modern ideas. Among the latter is the famous N°18. Although Chanel’s N°19 was first released in 1970, this newer aroma was designed by Master Perfumer Jacques Polge in 2007. The combination of RosewithAmbrete seed gives this perfume a flowery feel that stays fresh on the skin. Perfect for most occasions, its minimalist qualities make it smart and fashionable. If, however, you’re the kind of lady who likes to leave a trail of fine scent behind then Chanel’s Cuir de Russie is the ideal choice. Constructed by Ernest Beaux in 1927, it has exotic and rare ingredients ranging from heart of Jasmine, Oriental Rose and Ylang-Ylang to Tunisian Orange Blossom among others and a base of Albanian Birchwood. The result is a woody, leathery bouquet. The cocktail of flowers and spices give it an old, dense feel with a fresh twist. It is the kind of aroma you would expect Anna Karenina to wear while walking in her sumptuous palace. Whatever you choose, be it a fresh scent or a sweeter aroma, these exclusive collections are one of a kind.
