What Gaspard Ulliel and Jacques Polge Discussed

The setting is CHANEL's newly established laboratory on the outskirts of Paris. "I wanted to create a scent that was direct, honest, and vibrant, without unnecessary adornment," says Jacques Polge, CHANEL's exclusive perfumer, speaking to Gaspard Ulliel, the star of the "BLEU DE CHANEL" advertising film.

Jacques Polge describes "BLEU DE CHANEL," which he created: "Citrus, peppermint, and cedar—All these ingredients possess extremely special qualities. The fragrance composition is complex and delicate, with a lasting and perfect olfactory silhouette. It evokes the dry, powerful scent that lingers in the Mediterranean scrublands, yet its expression is poetic. Nothing at CHANEL is ever simply realistic. There is always something abstract and mysterious about it."

This new fragrance for men, 11 years after "Allure Homme," is the driest and most vibrant scent from CHANEL. Various notes appear one after another, slowly beginning to form a single shape, and eventually melting together to create a soft, supple contour. And then—

"When I think of blue, I think of infinity, the sea, the sky, freedom... I immediately felt it was a pleasant scent. Some fragrances take time to grow on you, but I liked BLEU DE CHANEL right away. It feels like a true identity," says Gaspard Ulliel.
