Inspired by the free and passionate woman who became Coco Chanel, GABRIELLE CHANEL ESSENCE is a more voluptuous, intensely feminine interpretation of the original GABRIELLE CHANEL luminous floral fragrance. The striking square glass bottle is reimagined with bolder golden accents on the stopper and label. Composed by In-House Perfumer Creator Olivier Polge, this deep and enveloping scent evokes the true essence of Gabrielle Chanel. The fragrance is an imaginary bloom, faceted with jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom and the most captivating flower of all: Grasse tuberose. Solar and radiant with a warm trail, it is the scent of a woman who follows her own path.

Chanel S.A. is the fashion house founded in 1910 by Gabrielle Chanel (affectionately called 'Coco' by friends). Chanel created a real revolution in the fashion world with her simple, elegant fashions of timeless appeal. She was one of the first designers to introduce pants for women, and is widely credited as the creator of fashion staple "the little black dress." Ms. Chanel maintained creative control of the design company until her death in 1971. Karl Lagerfeld took the helm as chief designer in 1983. Chanel created a similar revolution in the world of perfume with its first fragrance, the iconic Chanel N°5, first introduced in 1921. This fragrance continues to be a worldwide bestseller, maintaining contemporary appeal with innovative advertising and celebrity endorsements. Chanel N°5 and many of the house's oldest enduring fragrances were created by Ernest Beaux. Since 1978 the in-house perfumer for Chanel has been Jacques Polge.
