Description
31 Rue Cambon is a sophisticated and luminous woody chypre fragrance that beautifully captures the timeless elegance of CHANEL. It opens with a cool, peppery bergamot, quickly transitioning to a creamy, waxy ylang-ylang and delicate rose. As it develops, a powdery iris emerges, eventually settling into a refined base of patchouli and labdanum with subtle woody undertones, creating a seamless evolution from bright and fresh to warm and cozy. This scent embodies a modern interpretation of a classic chypre, balancing strength with a graceful, understated sensuality. Perfumer: Jacques Polge
