Chanel - The Dubai Mall

About Chanel - The Dubai Mall

Chanel is a privately held company owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of Coco Chanel. Its products cover clothes, fragrances, handbags, and watches. The brand is most famous for its “little black dress”, the Chanel No. Many Chanel fragrances focus on floral and amber notes, with plenty of signature iris. Modern releases lean more into citrus accords. That nearly bespoke feel is due to a blend of over 80 letters and contracts, from rich sandalwood and ylang-ylang to citrusy bergamot and orange blossom to a copious amount of specially sourced jasmine. The formula—a guarded secret, of course—also includes aldehydes, synthetic elements that add a heady je ne sais quoi.
