One of my favorite fragrance launches last year were the Les Eaux from Chanel. Paris- Biarritz became a staple in my perfume wardrobe and still is. Especially in Summer.
So I was quite excited to hear there was a new addition coming . Paris - Riviera joins the previous trio and it, too, is a beauty.
It blooms with lots of orange blossom and jasmine after a citrusy start of orange peel and petitgrain. The orange blossom is warm and effervescent. Chanel has their own source for this flower with Olivier Polge stating " For years, we have worked with a cooperative in Vallauris that distills orange blossoms grown in the region’s private gardens ” . “The owners of bitter orange groves bring the petals picked from their trees to this cooperative to be processed on location. The local climate yields an extremely pure essence. ” Sounds delicious , right ?
As it dries down there is sun warmed skin musk along a touch of sandalwood and there's a solar fragrance feeling.
Like the other Les Eaux this is fairly light but it has plenty of sillage at the beginning. It's an easy scent for reapplying, and I say sprtiz with abandon. It's a sunny , chic and pretty sundress of a scent.
Chanel Paris- Riviera EDT is $ 130 and will be available for one year at Chanel.com and Nordstrom.
