Chanel Les Exclusifs No 18 took me by surprise since it had something in it i had never experienced in perfume before. It's beautiful classy and unexpected. The opening burst reminds me of liqueur between smell and taste something really unusual. The final trail is very powdery and has a soapy, clean type of aroma while there's definitely a floral blend but I can't really pin point the elements. Just divine!

I'm usually not into rose fragrances but No.18 makes a pleasant exception as it happens very once in a while to smell such a simple yet incredibly fascinating composition. Quality and mastery are immediately (and clearly) noticeable when smelling No.18. An iris / rose structure supported by ambrette seeds and slight fruity patterns. The combination between rose and fruits gives the whole fragrance a fermented vibe that immediately recalls of wine or sweet liquors while iris circles in the air watching from the above.. No.18, being released in 2007, is the living proof that perfumery is not dead and it surely deserves to become an endless classic. Bravo Chanel.
This is real perfumery in my opinion and real perfumery trascends personal taste, real perfumery doesn't leave you indifferent.

what a discovery for me! i did not give it a chance first time i visited les exclusifs line, it had to be summer for me to realise the beauty this parfume holds and why it has its place among exclusifs.ambrette seeds is rare and expencive ingredient, and gives it luxury and uniqueness, gives it unusual refreshing fruity note....together with rose and iris, makes perfect combination for me, rose is subtle and smells like some luxurious shower gel, not suffocating, also iris adds to its freshness and luxury too.

To me this fragrance is like champagne (golden, bubbly, metallic) and a haute joiallerie necklace (golden, smooth, metallic). Pure sophistication and class, not a scent for everyone.
