“The 1993 boardroom — classic masculine fougère at peak Chanel refinement.”
A defining clean-aromatic-fougère of the early 1990s — Jacques Polge's 1993 Chanel launch, the lighter, fresher take on the Égoïste line. Lavender and rosemary at the top, settling on an oakmoss-cedar base. Versatile spring through fall, daytime.

- ●Soapy-herbal-citrus combination still smells distinguished
