Chanel

Beige

Beige by Chanel is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2008 in the luxury price tier. It opens with freesia and hawthorn, moves into frangipani and honey and dries down to musk, sandalwood and vanilla. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
• Hawthorn Almondy white blossom. Slightly powdery and hedgerow-like.

Heart

• Frangipani Creamy tropical floral. Suncream adjacent.
• Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.

Dry-down

• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
