Description

Le Lion De Chanel Huile Corps offers a luxurious way to experience the powerful and charismatic scent of Le Lion. This body oil is designed to prolong the fragrance's trail, enveloping the skin in a magnetic veil of scent. It opens with a bright, sparkling blend of citruses, quickly transitioning into a rich, resinous heart of labdanum and amber. The dry down reveals a warm, earthy, and slightly smoky base of patchouli, vanilla, musk, and sandalwood, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma. Perfumer: Olivier Polge
