A Regal Amber Masterpiece
CHANEL Les Exclusifs Le Lion de CHANEL Eau de Parfum is an opulent creation inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s zodiac sign, the lion, which symbolised courage, strength and grandeur throughout her life. Created by CHANEL In-House Perfumer Olivier Polge, this luxurious composition celebrates the majestic beauty of amber through an elegant blend of radiant citrus, rich resins and precious woods.
