Chantilly

An oriental with floral accents, Chantilly combines the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood with a bouquet of rose and jasmine. Launched by Dana in 1941 as an Eau de Toilette, the composition opens on lemon, orange and carnation, whose spicy brightness evokes clove, while patchouli anchors the base in an earthy, camphoraceous note.

Composition

Top

Lemon brings an acidic, tangy freshness, answered by orange, also fresh but tinged with a sugary roundness. Carnation introduces a spicy facet from the opening: its scent, close to clove, extends into a balsamic nuance.

Heart

Rose appears here in a warm light, with honeyed and waxy glints that give it density. Jasmine extends this warmth with a sugary sweetness and a wild accent, that animalic quality readily attributed to white flowers.

Base

Sandalwood offers a velvety, warm wood, on which vanilla lays down its sugary sweetness, heightened by a touch of spices. Patchouli brings an earthy, almost damp tonality, shot through with a camphoraceous brightness typical of this dried leaf from Asia.

Oriental and floral

The oriental character comes from the warm, amber materials of the base: sugary vanilla, velvety sandalwood, earthy patchouli, joined by the balsamic note of carnation. The floral facet rests on honeyed rose and wild jasmine, two pillar flowers of classic bouquets, as well as on the carnation from the opening.
