The latest addition to its LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL fragrance collection, aptly named COMÈTE, is inspired by the cosmos and I am absolutely obsessed.

Each of these Eaux de Parfum in the collection reveals one of Gabrielle Chanel’s character traits, writing a page from her life, sketching the outlines of one of her designs, or illustrating a symbol that guided her steps. COMÈTE is literally born under a lucky star.

Gabrielle Chanel let the stars be her guide, revolutionising the world of jewellery in 1932 with her unique «Bijoux de Diamants» collection and its legendary Comète necklace, whose shooting star nestles into the hollow of the neck.

«I WANTED TO COVER WOMEN IN CONSTELLATIONS. STARS! (…) SEE THESE COMETS, WHERE THE HEAD GLITTERS ON A SHOULDER, AND THE SPARKLING TAIL SLIPS BEHIND THE SHOULDERS TO FALL BACK DOWN IN A SHOWER OF STARS ON THE CHEST…»

Gabrielle Chanel.

Intensely floral and luminous, COMÈTE explores a new olfactory identity in the LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL collection. Rich and powdery, sophisticated and complex, it is a universe in itself. A fresh cherry blossom accord, luminous and intense, is elevated by sensual notes of heliotrope and iris in this intense floral «stardust» scent, which is housed in a bottle whose design aligns with the sober aesthetic created for the collection.

COMÈTE. A new star in the constellation of LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL is in stores now for CHF 245 (75ML) and CHF 440 (200ML).
