Sycomore: A Woody Masterpiece from Chanel

Welcome to the world of Chanel, where every detail is meticulously thought out.

Chanel Sycomore, released in 2016, is a perfume that belongs to the prestigious collection Les Exclusifs de Chanel Eau de Parfum.

This fragrance is a modern interpretation of the classic woody chypre, created for those who appreciate elegance and depth.

Positioning and Character of the Fragrance

Sycomore is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it an ideal choice for men and women seeking restrained sophistication.

It belongs to the chypre and woody families, offering a dry, smoky character with a medium trail that gently envelops without being intrusive.

How to Apply Sycomore for the Perfect Effect

For optimal development of Sycomore, it is recommended to use 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing.

This dosage allows you to enjoy all facets of the composition, from the bright start to the warm base, without overload, perfectly suited for everyday wear or special occasions.

Creators Behind the Scenes: The Perfumers of Sycomore

Behind the creation of this masterpiece are legendary perfumers Christopher Sheldrake and Jacques Polge.

Their joint work brought to Sycomore a balance of innovation and tradition, characteristic of Chanel, enhancing the brand's reputation as a pioneer in perfumery and emphasizing its commitment to excellence in every release.

Another concentration is also available: Chanel Sycomore from 2008, which may offer a different perception, enriching the choice for fans of this unique woody direction.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The pyramid of notes for Chanel Sycomore begins with sparkling aldehydes, complemented by woody juniper and spicy pink pepper, creating a fresh and energetic start.

At the heart of the composition, cypress, deep vetiver, and delicate violet unfold, forming an atmosphere of a cool, smoky forest with floral accents.

The base consists of cozy balsamic notes and warm sandalwood, which provide longevity, comfort, and a soft finish.

This carefully balanced mix of nuances makes Sycomore a multifaceted and captivating fragrance, perfectly unfolding in cool weather and lingering on the skin for several hours, gradually softening to a delicate trail.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

This fragrance evokes mixed feelings. It reminds me of a dense forest where moss and conifers create a damp sensation, and the morning fog envelops everything. But there's something heavy about it, as if nature itself is whispering about its sorrow 🌫️
5/5

I once wore this fragrance tirelessly, and honestly, I'd do it again. It has a strict and subtle vetiver that feels like it embraces you with fresh air, wind, and forest. It truly calms and helps gather your thoughts. There's no hint of wanting to please anyone here - neither a man, nor a woman, nor the boss, nor the mother-in-law, nor any other bipeds. Just pure enjoyment
4/5

Beautiful and expensive sound, but too reminiscent of other vetiver perfumes, even more affordable ones. Overall not bad, has brand style features, on male skin from exclusives it opens up well 😔
5/5

If I could, I would give this fragrance all 10 stars! Sycomore is simply magnificent! For the first two hours, spicy notes with a light tobacco accent are felt, and then throughout the day, a calm, warm wood unfolds, so clean and pleasant, as if you are in a sauna. This fragrance is true relaxation, it doesn't shout about itself, but delicately envelops. It stays close to the skin, there's almost no sillage, this is exactly what you need for yourself, for loved ones, for meditation and tranquility. If you love woody fragrances, feel free to buy it without testing
5/5

Sycomore doesn't evoke associations with Twin Peaks, despite its dark atmosphere. It's more like a dive into the dark depths of a forest. Mystery reigns here, where roots intertwine, and twilight conceals shade-loving plants desperately fighting for light. The dense tartness of smoldering leaves fills the air. The forest looks as if tree trunks are pillars pressing against the sky, and black crowns resemble cracks spreading from a pale March sky. This feeling leaves bitterness and melancholy, as if you're lost in this forest forever!!
4/5

This exclusive really caught my attention, but I won't buy it. It reminds me too much of two of my favorite fragrances - Encre Noire and Terre, especially in the parfum version. There's beauty in it, undoubtedly. First, you sense Terre, and then Encre Noire
5/5

Bought this scent a couple of months ago in Milan. Overall, not bad. The first and third notes are just super. But the middle somehow didn't quite work for me. Everything seems fine, especially since it's from their top collection, but I prefer the heart note (the third one) in Bleu de Chanel (EDP 2014)
5/5

The vetiver in this scent is simply amazing. The EDP concentration, unlike the EDT which is considered only for women, opens up beautifully on male skin. It's woody, fresh, and has a light earthy hint, reminiscent of a walk through a pine forest. A real burst of energy and inspiration!
4/5

The fragrance is truly impressive; upon application, notes of tobacco, cypress, and spices are felt. However, with prolonged use, some unpleasant note appears, reminiscent of the sweetish citruses from DG Light Blue and Eclat d'Aprege. Maybe it's that iso-E-super, but only specialists can accurately say what they have in common. It's difficult to wear it constantly; it starts to tickle my throat and causes coughing. Others really like it, constantly asking what wonderful scent I'm wearing. I'd like to compare it with EDT. Lately, it's become fashionable to list the full composition of products so that buyers know what they're paying for. It would be great if all formulas were also written on perfumes. That way, if I saw an allergen, I'd immediately say: "Not for me" But no, it's still the same "know-how"
