Launched by Chanel in 2020, first in the Middle East, Le Lion de Chanel joined Les Exclusifs as a tribute to Gabrielle Chanel’s astrological sign. Olivier Polge composed an ambery, woody, leathery scent: bergamot and lemon at the top, labdanum and amber in the middle, vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood and musk in the base. Persolaise counts it among the house’s great successes.
The sober bottle of the Les Exclusifs collection, which Chanel calls very restrained, in 75 and 200 ml.
Le Lion de Chanel takes the bottle of the Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection. The house describes it as very restrained and faithful to the sobriety of the uniform it created for this collection, in which each fragrance must have a clear-cut main trait.
The eau de parfum is sold in 75 and 200 ml. Chanel extends it with a scented body oil, which it presents as the second step of a ritual meant to reveal the fragrance and its trail.
