Chanel's latest perfumes don't belong to any one gender!

If you've tried a couple of Chanel's perfumes, you will know that their fragrances are bold, floral (most times than not) and that they're not exactly unisex. Well, all that changes now! Shaking things up, Chanel's in-house perfumer Olivier Polge, who has been at the helm since 2015, just introduced three light, citrusy, and unexpected eau de toilettes called Les Eaux de Chanel. And you can share them with your boyfriend! Say goodbye to 'His' and 'Her' perfumes and YES to Chanel's new scents that don't belong to any one gender.

"This is a new sort of collection of perfumes, we call them Les Eaux because they're fresh, fluid, sparkling. My source of inspiration came from Eau de cologne, those combinations of fresh citrus oils," said Polge. Each scent has been inspired by a destination vitally important to Coco Chanel's life: Venice, Biarritz, and the beach town Deauville where she opened her very first boutique in 1913. "The three cities are really important in the history of Chanel. They became a part of our identity and source of inspiration," he added.

The scent, Deauville makes for our favourite of all the three. "Deauville is very close to Paris, it's not only a city near the city of Paris but it's in the middle of Normandy. And this is often a destination for weekends," Polge said. "I had in mind the scents of what could be a weekend in the countryside. This is why I envisioned a scent that aside from those sparkling oils of orange, it has a more aromatic, green aspect with basil, leaves of orange tree, geranium, and a touch of jasmine," he added.

Then there's Biarritz which is the most traditionally cologne-like of the collection and most traditionally feminine scent in the line is Venise, inspired by Coco Chanel's time in Venice, Italy. Polge likes to describe the three eau de toilettes as watery. "No natural raw material smells exactly like water," he said. Polge knows that Deauville, Biarritz, and Venise are quite a departure from what one might expect from a Chanel scent. "We often have at Chanel scents that are quite rich. We are often working with a lot of flowers," he said. Adding, "But there is something also always about freshness at Chanel. When we speak about number 5, we speak about flowers and aldehydes. Many of our fragrances, like No. 19, is very green. But I felt that there was room for these types of scents."
