After the lyrical waxings are over, what remains at the base of 31, Rue Cambon is a clever reinterpretation of the chypre, minus oakmoss. This base is primarily vetiver and patchouli, with the...

I just wanted to add my praise for this fragrance, since it may be the only cosmetic product that has actually changed my life. I won't try to describe the individual notes of this fragrance, as...

I cannot tell you how much I love this scent. No musk, so well blended that you can't distinguish individual notes... It's sophisticated but low sillage so doesn't dominate the room. It has...

I'm pretty much in love w/Beige yet I need to test it again to make sure as these are huge bottles. Beige feels like it's "me." I think 31 Rue Cambon is quite nice, just not really "me." As...

Rue Cambon is pure chic from first spray to the last scent remnant. I wear this and instantly I feel 100% uplifted and confident. I've been looking for a scent that fits me to a T and this is one...

31 Rue Cambon took me by surprise, usually Chanel fragrances are too heavy for me, but this one has a light, yet complex feel to it. The opening aldehydes are very strong and off-putting. After...

When these Chanel les exclusive frags came to Nordstroms this year I took the liberty of walking around w/ all of them on my wrists (at different times, of course). This would be the edt's, and I...

The worst of our fears have not come to pass: The heavy restrictions on the use of oakmoss in perfumery will not result in an end to all chypre perfumes! Exhibit A: Chanel's 31 Rue Cambon. Here is...

Reminds me of Coco, but more subdued. I find it being more oriental on me than chypre, which was deceiving since I am a chypre lover (Eau du Soir, Givenchy III and Y).

A green fragrance; too sweet. It's nasty. Bel Respiro is so much nicer.

I didn't really like 31 Rue Cambon! I loved the very citrussy opening notes and was expecting them to lead into a bright, green floral, but instead I got heavy jasmine laced with a very peppery...

I was skeptical about this one, especially after the all the hype over the "Les Exclusifs" collection. I am also a woman who cannot wear most Chanel fragrances as most smell too artificial on me....

31 rue Cambon is one of the most elegant yet versatile perfumes I have ever owned. It is a light chypre in the style of Diorella but does not have its intense citrus punch. Rather, 31 rue Cambon is...

I forgot what I was wearing after a bit of time, and thought it was a Guerlain. There definitely is something Guerlainish about it. The top notes are great, but I would not purchase it again...

Although many Chanels work well for me, this is the one that stands out so far as something I might purchase (if my decants from swaps ever run out!). It's a beautifully blended modern chypre that...

A sweetgrass chypre - I mean really, it smells like there's a fresh and high-quality sweetgrass oil on the basenotes, which I first smelled via an impulse purchase at an Indian Nations powwow in my...

Has a crisp, sharp opening that I don't really care for which lasts for less than 5 minutes for me. But the drydown is so heavenly! It gets so soft and sweet and just continues to get softer and...

Have you ever sniffed a scent where from one minute to the next it is - love it, scrub it, love it, scrub it? This was my experience with 31 Rue Cambon. What I can say, is that the longer I...

This is a classic Chypre, reminiscent of older fragrances that are still available today. This fragrance took a while for me to get to know as I wasn't thrilled with the top notes. However, the...
