Paris – Venise EDT

Essence of neroli illuminates the enveloping warmth of an ambery accord with notes of vanilla and tonka. A fresh, oriental trail inspired by the exotic and enchanting city of Venice, one of Gabrielle Chanel's favourite places. A composition of shadow and light, between freshness and sensuality.

1920. Venice was a revelation for Gabrielle Chanel. It changed her life. Shattered by the death of her lover Boy Capel, she drew strength from the bustling energy of this richly contrasted city and its mix of people and influences from around the world. There, she discovered a taste for the treasures of Byzantine and Baroque art that caught her eye and became a major source of inspiration for her style. It evokes this legendary, captivating city that marks the boundary between East and West.
