Boy

Chanel Les Exclusifs · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2016

≈ $320 · 200ml · approx. retail

A modern fougere opening with fresh lavender and citrus over geranium and rose, settling into powdery heliotrope, coumarin and soft musk. Boy is a genderless take on the classic barbershop accord, refined and softly sweet.
