Note: Please understand that this website is not affiliated with the Chanel company in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the Chanel fragrances.

The goal of this website is to show the present owners of the Chanel company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back the perfume!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the perfume, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories), who knows, perhaps someone from the company might see it.

Parfum Les Grands Extraits

In 2009, Chanel introduced the Parfums Les Grands Extraits line as a limited edition of three classic fragrances, all in parfum/extrait concentration.These are introduced as limited editions in three sizes, 7.5 oz for $1,700, 15 oz for $2,350 and 30 oz for $3,200.

Each scent is housed in the classic faceted bottle, secured by means of baudruchage, a masterful sealing technique perfected by Chanel. A hand-assembled, artisan-crafted case protects and encloses the legendary scent. Les Grands Extraits may be dabbed onto skin using the jewel-cut cabochon stopper or artfully displayed among a woman’s most cherished keepsakes.

To open the classic Chanel crystal parfum flacon, use the following tip provided by Parfums Chanel in 1963:
Remove cord and paper; with index finger as cushion, tap underneath sides of stopper lightly with glass object (glass on glass being the scientific method) while turning the bottle steadily between fingers, so that the stopper will be loosened evenly.

Gardenia: A powdery bloom of rich flowers with an accord of sweet, refined and ultra-feminine tuberose, created by CHANEL Master Perfumer Ernest Beaux in 1925. A delicate heart of Oriental Jasmine, Rose and Ylang-Ylang from the Comoro Islands is deepened by base notes of Haitian Vetiver and Bourbon Vanilla. Top notes -- Lily of the Valley, Neroli and aldehydes -- bring a brilliant clarity and sensuous wake.
