Les Exclusifs de Chanel 1932

Les Exclusifs de Chanel 1932 EDT (190 ml. Left, USD91, 9101) First Impression I am so blissful to have a chance to own this in EDT rendition, consider this is release in short period of time (similar to Misia) before all converting into EDP in 2016 1932, smells like blends of other few chanel fragrance but it has it own merit somehow. either iris or purple flower replica lipstick note. Orris rote in La Pausa do show Mix with sort of muskiness in 1957 / Jersey. The scent is mystical, gotta wear a few times before putting full entry. ==== 1932 edt, full review I truly unaware that this quite a Gem in my chanel line up collection, I know I have to keep it. But.. This out of 7 I decided to keep is the most freshest one, It is soft foral fragrance with mild powdery / musk feel. This is wried for me, because the way ylang introduce in this.. are basically like 31 Reu Cambon that I also own, the most warmest scent in my line up. However, the fragrance still keep very cold and resistance, dreamy, Maybe because of the Lilac. It is fresh and I could even reach in warmer weather, I do like it a lot. Orris still manage to show up beaiutifully. ===== Update 2: February 29th I tried to rearrange my perfume collection, I tried to cut down the the one I prefers to use and represent myself. I tried to differentiate 4 floral fragrances the line has offered. 1932 (edt) 31 Rue Cambon (edp) Beige (edp) No.22 (edp) Then I kinda understand where is this belongs to.. 1932 (edt) is truly mesmerizing and most impacted by reformulation in 2016 the most. I feel like it lost most of it charm and replace with another component that feel liks different fragrance entirely. 1932 (edt) is musky floral bouquet that both youth and dew. It’s fresh and lite yet lyrically sing the gentle note. It feel relax and sunshine in same time. Color of this fragrance feels like Monet’s work, dreamy or The wind rises by Studio Glibi. It’s wonderful binding together. I feel like out of 4, this feels a bit less formal than others. It is the floral you enjoy in time. Sunday, sip tea and biscuits walks across the breezy floral hills. It’s have a feeling similar to Bois d’Argant somehow, by cleanliness feel. Compare to 31 Rue Cambon in EDP, patchouli is dominant in that one. ===== Extension 2 on May 4, 2024 Further I wear 1932 (edt), I feel this is might be one of unique offering in Chanel line up, or maybe fragrance world. Spicy floral bouquet, woody and musk. I tried to generalize this fragrance. I do truly believe this is “Floral-Woody-Musk”. I can’t lie But it is predominantly by my favorite flower, apart from Gardenia. It is “Carnation” but it merge with Lilac and Ylang. 3 differences color of floral become one. And the sour touch, Opponax. It is also contained. It is smoother than Labdanum, I tried to call this amber floral, the sheer lace of Musk is added. No, it is strong musk Chanel used later offering, it is only layer of musk to cover everything. so I can’t. Call “amber floral”. I tried to call this “floral”, because floral in this is dominant. But I can’t denying the musk and amber under. I tried to call this “Chypre”, but musk is cut it out. This sure do the special case to use musk to change the genre of fragrance. This is so pleasant to wear on the Sunday (this slowly become my favorite instead of 28 La Pausa) even it do have vintage feel to it, I wish you could sniff this one.. I won’t cry on the sundays, for sure.. or with one small tear of joy, maybe. ===== Extension 4 on November 22, 2024 “Elusive floral aquatic bouquet place on sheer musk, vetiver and slight touch of old world amber Highlight of 1932 is floral bouquet heart that change like chameleon, the facet of each for hits and sparkling on other. You smell carnation when rose-ylang hits slight clove sudden ylang hits jasmine with aquatic, create an lilac It’s end with clean musk, slight woody nothing extravagance but finely done in french way. If this reminds you strongly of 31 Rue Cambon, it because the quality of Ylang-Ylang is dominant, Chanel Ylang-Ylang always delicious.” ===== Extension 5 on February 1, 2025 It seems I love to wear Chanel in Spring... I just play with 31 Rue Cambon. Like a ritual I almost always 1932 EDT after. And maybe, my enjoyment for Carnation begins with this. I know the topic of reformulation between EDT and EDP are long gone. But if I may point out; this might be the most suffered from reformulation. I don't say this because I have got the EDT bottle. But the way message its convey is difference. I don't know what might happen during transition. Because it might too close to 31 Rue Cambon (I own in EDP format). 1932 edt, is only soft floral bouquet fragrance. from whole Chanel line up. we do have Beige & Gardenia But the principle of 1932 edt, is that its build on Water of the lily material. Lilac is imaginary note suggest by perfumer. But the core is Water of the lily material which isn't natural either. Thus; the charm of 1932edt lays on Kaleidoscope blend of Floral note. As fragrance open up like a lazy flower pixy. You notice a humorous dance between each floral that facet kind of hit and elusive from one to another as Jasmin hit Ylang with Rose goes Carnation. And Jasmin hit Ylang with Lily of the valley showing Lilac. It's perfumer mind. This build on soft amber, veil of musk, aldehydic floral and Vetiver. Which 31 Rue Cambon edp go for classic amber labdanum base. === Biddind the farewell. (15 June 2026, Noir sur Blanc by Francoise Hardy) I come to personal conclusion that, 1932. Is most Chanel scent, but not like Chanel in Tradition, N5 or Bois des Iles. Ancient, It is solid "Elusive - Effortless - Effervescent". Warm ylang, Red Jewel Rose, Woody Vetiver / Opoponex Amber. Elusive musk, Ethereal Aldehydic a explanation that can keep on going. Because, it is that beautiful. But... Perhaps, Chanel is Chanel. Always and be Chanel. That CC cross. Could be Glamour, Post Club Fun, Seasonal and Billboard shine bright its elusive. Like, The fragrance itself. A "feeling" of Chanel Jewelly. The shine. Never be real anyway. It given and borrowed by Chanel. It a glass mirror, you secure In Chanel. but It hand by Chanel.. It so easy to dress in vintage 85's French T-shirt. And some loose leg, sprays 1932 and you feel "Frenchy Effortless". But that itself.. it isn't a French thing I guess? It a bit to cohesive, that is not French when there is no Tension. There is a world out there for me. It time to leave CC Ivory tower, to the ground and my kind. Good bye 1932. always,

Okay a few things about this one. First of this is a CHANEL. 1932 smells like Chanelaide. You know what I mean, plush, dry, a high minded and serious perfume with lots of iris and jasmine and a good woody drydown. For an unsmiling women in pantyhose and a chignon on a Sunday afternoon. You don't mess around with this kind of lady. Second, when I first tried this I wasn't impressed. I felt like it didn't perform well on my skin, and like it didn't do much. I put the bottle away for literally years (my bottle is from 2015) and on a whim pulled it out again. I have a completely different view of this now. So again, this is not a whimsical, sweet, fun and easy perfume. There's aldehydes, a slightly indolic jasmine, and a lush bouquet of proper flowers: Lilac, ylang ylang, jasmine, and roses. The drydown is gorgeous, to a woman like me who enjoy dry woods like vetiver and sandalwood. Surrounding all this is a dusty iris and musk accord. When 1932 first hits my skin I get a soapy spray of aldehydes infused with a big orange blossom. Quickly jasmine joins in, a skanky jasmine at that...not too much but this isn't a washed out friendly jasmine. The orange blossom-jasmine transitions into a lovely lilac, and again, this isn't a friendly lilac--it's natural and heady and musky. Softened and sweetened by a little ylang ylang, and as this wears, a rose appears in the background. The jasmine is still there, but it's much less indolic. Mind you, this is all surrounded by dry iris powder and musk. It's not a straight floral. What a lovely set of florals this is--lilac isn't that common, and yes it's more of an old fashioned note, but gosh lilac and iris are beautiful together. Best of all a huge dose of incense develops in the heart too--there's just a lot of stuff happening here at once. The heart notes settle in for a few hours, before drying down into sandalwood and vetiver iris woods--while still maintaining that dusty musk accord. Silage is close to the body, but the lasting power is good--up to 8 hours. The musk is a big thing though, I think you have to like floral woody musks in order to enjoy 1932. I don't know if the musk notes overloaded my nose the first times I tried it--it seems like a lot of people had an issue with performance with 1932. Or maybe my bottle has improved with time. I don't know, but I'm well past 40, and something about this makes me feel secure, calm, and wise. This definitely isn't for the masses, the dustiness of it all just reminds me of a long life's journey...like it's the halo of the life that you've lived that resides around you. The past isn't always nice, or happy, and not every experience is a positive one. But it's all with you just the same. Such a bittersweet perfume this is, all that past around you but you still have your lovely lush flower inside, still alive and fresh.

Oh, I’m so happy! I managed to snag a bottle of this beauty. Unfortunately, I had to purchase the 200ml as opposed to the 75ml because they sold out of the smaller size. I also heard that this perfume was limited and might be discontinued and if that is the case then I am glad I got the larger bottle. Honestly though, I would rather have a smaller bottle if for no other reason than it would be easier to handle. This is my favorite out of all the Les Exclusifs I’ve tried to date. I am literally having a visceral reaction to this perfume. It’s so lovely and delicate, and so darn achingly beautiful that it takes my breath away. I have been wearing it off and on for days now and don’t seem to be tiring of it at all. Each time I wear it I experience a different facet of this lovely perfume that I didn’t get before. I love how beautifully blended this composition is and how the notes complement each other so perfectly. This has to be one of the smoothest fragrances I’ve ever experienced. There is nothing sharp, off-putting, or jarring. Just wearing it makes me feel good, more confident, and put together - even if I’m just in a bathrobe schlepping around the house. For me, 1932 is beyond beautiful. It is exquisite! I am so happy I got this bottle when I did. I almost panicked when the rep told me this was going to be discontinued. Just the thought that I would miss out on obtaining this beauty almost had me apoplectic. I am so relieved. Now I can relax knowing I have this great big bottle to hold me for a while. Believe me when I tell you, I am going to treasure every drop. Just want to add that Chanel has now made this in edp strength and it is what is selling on their site now. The note profile for the first edp version was a fruity floral. Chanel has discontinued that version and replaced it with this one but even that is subject to change. Anyway, this is what is being sold online and in their boutiques, according to a Chanel Rep I spoke to, but that it might also be discontinued. Oh, Chanel and Dior have me ripping my hair out with their confusing changes.

When I first tried 1932, I didn't appreciate it very much. I felt like it was Rue Cambon light and wasn't really needed. I sort of didn't get the addition. But now I do! This is the perfect daily year round scent and it has grown on me so very much. Sometimes when I don't want my perfume to announce itself and I want something light and casual but still elegant, this is what I reach for. It has a casual yet refined vibe that I love. I love the musky woody base along with the combination of floral and citrus notes. The jasmine in this is beautiful. 1932 is something that always works no matter what kind of mood I am in. I love 31 Rue Cambon but sometimes it can feel a bit much or way too formal, especially the first hour or two. 1932 gives me a similar feeling of the Rue Cambon dry down only it is more casual and light. Sort of like an instant dry down. It is also a scent I kind of crave in the same way. About longevity....I think there is a potent quality about Les Exclusifs that makes people go temporarily hyposmic. This happened to me in the beginning and I thought the fragrances were really light and disappeared. But it was just my nose. I have to avoid breathing in the opening for about 10 minutes and that seems to solve the problem. And never, ever spot sniff where you applied it. That will make your nose shut down. But now that I avoid immediately smelling the opening I have found this line to be very long lasting and pretty powerful. If I had to live on a deserted island and could only bring one fragrance line with me I believe it would have to be Les Exclusifs. I never get tired of it and love everything in the whole line. Even the ones I was iffy about initially seem to turn into loves with time. A phenomenal fragrance line that has my heart. Even 1932.

i hung off from purchasing this beauty for ages, because a lot of the reviews had lead me to believe that i wouldn't like it. an office friendly fruity floral vanilla musk with no longevity. not that. and i love it. for a start, this EDT lasts an entire day on my skin. i have no longevity issues with this or 28 La Pausa or even Bel Respiro. im not getting this dollop of jasmine that is often spoken of, rather a clean soft whisp of it. i am not getting this powdery musky vanilla either, so often referred to in the dry down. This is a sparkling perfume that yes, reminds me of 31 rue cambon (a touch) and has a dash of 28 la pausa (the love of my life). but it is a unique scent in its own right. after the whisp of aldehydes and the fruity jasmine, the 31 rue cambon-likey take-off, in time, the dry down is rather unisex on me. I'm getting some musk mallow, some smokey vetiver, a beautiful orris (actually - orris from the start), oppoponax and incense - when i was expecting sweetish, powdery vanilla musk yawn. this might be "office safe", but so are most of the other les exclusifs! even the mamouth Coromandel. 1932 is a complex and stunning EDT that does indeed live up to it's fine jewellery story. i don't wear diamonds, but i do wear pearls occasionally. nor am i a 21st Century Chanel woman (quite the opposite in fact). BUT please try 1932 if you can. it is going for peanuts on eBay and i truly don't understand why.
