The latest interpretation of the original Bleu, Chanel Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif is deeply masculine and mysterious, an intoxicating blend of sandalwood with leathery and resinous notes and an amber-woody trail. That makes its muse of women's fragrances incredibly unlikely and intriguing. "The starting point was to bring the Bleu signature to the level of an extrait parfum, to the concentration, the density, the depth that we usually create for women," says Chanel In-House Perfumer Creator Olivier Polge.

Instead, Polge has reimagined a house classic with Bleu De Chanel L'Exclusif - a new take on the original Bleu fragrance, which his father created during his own tenure as the nose of Chanel before Olivier took over. "There is no such thing as a perfect perfume," Polge tells me. "The identity of a perfume is made by the tension."

Chanel experienced a data breach affecting only US customers, with unauthorized access to names, email addresses, postal addresses, and phone numbers from their customer service database.

Six years after its debut in New York City's Soho, Chanel's Atelier Beauté Chanel has permanently closed, with a focus on integrating its services into existing boutiques.
