Fragrance information:

The year 1946 gave us Chanel No 46. A feminine fragrance from the wood, musk, and floral families. The author of this composition is Coco Chanel, and that explains a lot. Released in perfume extract.

The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Chanel No 46 unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of Chanel is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Perfume extract supports the right density and pace of development.

From the first breath you meet sparkling citrus opening notes: Bergamot, Neroli and Orange.

At the core of development you sense Cumin, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Vanilla and musk carrying a creamy tuberose direction.

The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Powdery and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Middle suggests confident staying power.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Spicy and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Gourmet, Musk and Wood.

Overall Chanel No 46 reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.

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.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

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.
Sillage

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.
