Chanel Expands Coromandel Fragrance Story With New Les Exclusifs Release
Chanel is spotlighting its Coromandel fragrance within the Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection, presenting it as a scent that reflects the atmosphere of Gabrielle Chanel’s famed Coromandel screens.
The fragrance is described as an olfactory interpretation of the screens that decorated Chanel’s apartment on rue Cambon in Paris, offering a warm, enveloping composition designed to evoke distant landscapes and an air of intimacy.
According to the house, Gabrielle Chanel was deeply attached to these lacquer pieces, reportedly saying that she "almost fainted with happiness" the first time she saw a Coromandel screen. The finely engraved décor, which depicts ornate scenes, is cited as a source of inspiration for the fragrance’s blend of richness and restraint.
Coromandel forms part of the wider Les Exclusifs de Chanel range, which groups together the house’s more concentrated and narrative-driven scents. Interested readers can explore the collection for additional Coromandel inspired creations.
