Description
Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum is the 2014 concentration step-up from the original 2010 EDT, composed by Jacques Polge. It keeps the citrus-woody DNA of the original but pushes it into deeper, more resinous territory with incense and amberwood, giving it more richness and staying power.

Is it unisex? It's marketed and formulated as a men's fragrance, though its citrus-woody profile is worn by anyone who likes that family.
