Timothée Chalamet Redefines Masculinity with Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif

Chanel Beauty introduces its most daring interpretation yet of the iconic men’s fragrance: Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif. Designed by master perfumer Olivier Polge, the scent is envisioned as a provocation, an olfactory statement that challenges traditional boundaries of both perfumery and masculinity.

Polge, who inherited the creative mantle from his father, Jacques Polge, describes the fragrance as “the most magnetic and mysterious facet of Bleu de Chanel.” Its formulation is dense and sophisticated, a concentrated composition built from rare raw materials and layered with extraordinary complexity.

At its heart lies ethically and sustainably sourced sandalwood extract from Maré, New Caledonia, a quality drawn only from the heartwood, revealing a depth of essential oils. This richness is further heightened by leather, amber, and resin notes, evoking a dark, woody sensuality.

The design mirrors the fragrance’s enigmatic character: a bottle in midnight blue, suspended between deep navy and near black. To embody this allure, Chanel turned once again to Timothée Chalamet, an actor celebrated for his unpredictable choices and transformative presence. “Timothée Chalamet is a man woven from possibilities,” the House declares, positioning him as the embodiment of this fragrance’s magnetic mystery.

Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif is available now in 60 ml and 100 ml editions, a concentrated vision of timeless sophistication with an edge of the unexpected.
