The composition inspired by the white camellia, the iconic CHANEL bloom, in its rarest form. Crafted entirely from glass, this monumental bottle features a white label and a faceted cabochon that recalls the geometry of Place Vendôme, true to the original vessel. The singular process behind its creation illustrates the House’s historic savoir-faire in perfumery. Containing the most precious expression of fragrance, each flacon in the Les Grands Extraits collection is nestled inside a white satin-lined case and protected by a sleeve that opens like a flower.

The perfect shape of the white camellia can make one forget its lack of scent. As Gabrielle Chanel’s chosen emblem, it often appeared on her designs: on the brim of a hat, on a buttonhole or on a piece of jewelry. In 1925, she fashioned a fragrance in its image, which she named GARDÉNIA.

COMPOSITION

Full of fantasy, this intense and voluptuous floral interpretation blossoms with notes of gardenia, a creamy heart and an imaginative trail. An absolutely feminine composition that captures the radiant light of summer.

ART OF PERFUMING

Parfum is the most concentrated and long-lasting type of fragrance, with its own specific application. Mademoiselle’s advice was to apply it “wherever you would like to be kissed.” Neck, wrist, décolleté… Using the chiseled stopper, add a drop of Parfum on each pulse point, letting it develop on your skin and feeling the scent echo the beat of your heart.
