Originally launched in 1935, another aldehydic-floral fragrance created by the maestro Ernest Beaux. This one had/has an added leather smell. I have not had the luck to try any other variant than the ...

I use this since the 80's when it was sold only at some Chanel boutiques. It is my favorite fragrance, all times, all seasons. (Hate that nonsense of "summer this and winter that"!) Hope that Chanel n...
