To find this fragrance you must explore - it isn't mentioned with all the other Chanels and for good reason. This is not a commercial scent but one that perfectly represents the classic style that...

I love this! I bought a mini parfum off of e bay and can't wait to buy a full size parfum. It does have that classic Chanel vein, (it really reminds me of #5), but it is softer and more refined...

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous and sexy. It reminds me of the heart notes of Chanel No. 19, but it is softer, warmer, and more powdery than that powerhouse of a perfume. Bois des Iles is a...

Oh, the drydown of this--I find it incredibly sexy. I love dry woody scents and Bois des Iles is sublimely dry, warm, powdery (has a typical aldehydic Chanel smell), spicy and totally chic. I...

The parfum is lovely. Woody but not bitter or sharp. Well rounded and elegant without being masculine although I can see some very sophisticated men wear this. The aldehydes do not bother my skin...

I have very little to add to the reviewers who precede me; it's wonderful. I can only speak about the parfum, because that's all I have (so far). Despite its floral content, it's not flowery. ...

I have tried the parfum and the EDT and the parfum is far superior. It is sweet, strong, spicy and beautiful, pleasing, heavy on sandlewood, easy to wear. The EDT is harsh, dry - little sweetness...

This is another Chanel I really love. I can only review the parfum though, as I have never tried the EDT. On me, this is a very unusual, fresh opening with petitgrain and coriander and...
