The world first encountered № 22 by Chanel in 2007. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the floral and aldehyde families. Inspiration and execution — all of it is Jacques Polge. A fragrance from the Exclusifs de Chanel collection, in eau de toilette.
The sillage is moderate — present, but never overpowering. The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. Brand country — France: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Also available in other concentrations: chanel № 22, chanel № 22. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of № 22 is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Chanel comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Floral, Wood, Spicy and Cosmetic without random overlap. The profile is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration High points to a sustained drydown presence. In trail behavior Middle defines the projection profile in space.
In the top tier you catch glowing neon first notes: Aldehydes, Lily of the Valley and Neroli.
When the opening settles you meet Jasmine, Rose, Tuberose and ylang-ylang carrying a creamy tuberose direction.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Fairy, Whiteflower, Floral and Gourmet. The palette also extends to Wood and Aromatic.
Overall № 22 holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
