DISTINGUISHING FEATURE
REBELLIOUS
Majestic, courageous, valiant, bold and passionate feminine.
Fully steeped in the philosophy of the House of CHANEL and its founder, the promotional film speaks of a race towards freedom, an endless battle against the diktats that tend to capture and cage women in. It is the beating of a heart, an energy that streams forth and overcomes all obstacles. It is a metaphor of life, both timeless and topical, diffused through a solar and luminous fragrance synonymous with passion, style and freedom.
The fragrance itself is described as an «abstract floral». Perfumer Olivier Polge has given CHANEL flowers a brand new voice. He began by selecting ylang-ylang, jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose grown in Grasse and created an ideal white flower, drawing upon all of the floral varieties ever recorded in the history of CHANEL. In his own words «it’s very fresh, very feminine. I would describe it as luminous, solar – radiant»
