WHAT can I buy to replace it? Privacy Policy. I knew that was happening w/ Bois des Iles, but somehow had not realized that all of them were meeting w/ that fate. I live in Lexington, Kentucky and there are no places here that have 22 available. She is a wintry mystical haze ..a whiff of a bridal dress stored in a chest ..a walk through a European cathedral ..an addictive scent from which emanate delicate white flowers, aldehydes, and incense all working harmoniously to deliver an inhaling experience that is old world and otherworldly. And I dont even consider myself a natural-born floral girl. Leave a comment, or read more about commenting at Now Smell This. So I just want to say in your face Dior If Chanel can almost identically reproduce their scents from yesteryear, then so could Dior, if they could only take their eyes off the bottom line long enough to read the ingredients! I'm rather pleased with myself that I had the sense to work my way through a bottle of Coco (probably my favorite) in my 20s.

22. I discovered her on a winter day in SF and it was love at first sniff. L, thank you! Good news! Please note that Chanel is changing the packaging of its Les Exclusifs collection; therefore, if you have a preference for the original flacons, be sure to act quickly. I have a couple of questions.

i received yesterday some Guerlain fragrance samples from Bergdorf Goodman. As I am reviewing the vaious and sundry comments of your readers .something .terrible dawns on me If I read correctly.. is Chanel going to discontinue the parfum version of Bois Des Iles ( my beloved jewel)and the other Rue de Cambon line? But, Im horrified to read that they are d/cing the parfum versions. I love trying a perfume and thinking it isn't me at all, and then being surprised at how much I like it! I dont know all the changes that were made, but apparently there is no longer an incense note? 22, though. You will choke on the awful fragrance of No. I feel as though it is best worn in cooler weather. Heady, indolic, intoxicating While No 5 is much more well-known and praised, I find the delicate beauty of No 22 to be particularly exquisite. I wonder if Chanel has cracked down on unauthorized retailers. P.S.

22, but fewer do now that it's become one of Les Exclusifs. I want more because it is running out and cannot find it anywhere. Im not sure if I wrote to the right adress. 5, so why not try 22? I found 5 cold and uninteresting (I have since had a change of heart but it has not replaced my love of 22). 22, I think. To place it in the vicinity of such lovely fragrances as Coromondel and Bel Respiro is a gigantic mistake. I did a bottle or two of Coco in my twenties, too, still in the thrall of Chanel. The sight of the photo of the white pearl is os poignant ..it almost hurts. it's Chanel! 5 girl who was appalled by my interest in big white florals. Hmmm. Apply to you whole body as one would apply body lotion (or just to the neck and dcollet and arms if that it too much). Turin said that he almost prefered White Linen because he found this one a tad sweet, but Ive tried White Linen and I simply dont like it as much, too bright, I think. Well, there is another interesting lecture on tea coming up, so we might try our luck then. No 22 is one of my favourite Chanel fragrances. I have tried Chanel boutiques with some luck.

Vivid and tender, it alternates between elegant aloofness and sweet warmth, all the while being polished and seamless. Same scent, but longer lasting, and the incense is just wonderful!

The problem is the only version I can get where I live is the EDT in 250 ml size and only from Chanel boutiques. Notify me of replies to my comments via e-mail. Good thing that I contacted them to clarify, otherwise I would panic. sigh. Except for No 5, of course. It is a very intoxicating fragrance. I sure was one terrific smelling teen. 19 and I am pretty drawn to the Iris and leather in there. 22 would be her shy sister, reticent , demure..in the background. I would also recommend confirming this before placing an order (assuming youre uncertain about what you are getting). Subscribe to followup comments via email.
