Les Exclusifs de Chanel Beige by Chanel

Meh.
Pleasant enough, but I could hardly wait for this to wear off to try something more beautiful, more interesting. Nice and flowery, not too sweet, wearable, but very very beige. I don't think I would recognize it on another person, it's not unique. As an expensive "exclusif" it's just another Chanel fragrance that is pleasant on the skin, but leaving some kind of hunger for something more.

I got mine from Saks Fifth Avenue too!! It is a soft honeyed floral on me and very different to what i normally wear. The sales lady was lovely and indulged me with a sample of Bois des Illes. My next purchase........??

Beige is my new favorite scent. This smells like really expensive shampoo on me. It reminds me of something a snobbing housewife would wear. I have to have me a bottle of this soon. Love how the floral is fizzy and fresh! Great lasting power too.. Could smell it all day! My favorite Chanel by far

I was expecting a little more after all the hype Chanel Beige got in 2008. Finally got my hands on a sample, and it's nice, but I'm a bit disappointed. Beige is very simple and linear on my skin. Honeyed floral from start to finish. Yes, it smells lovely and classy and feminine. Yes, it lasts hours. It's a perfectly well-done floral fragrance that seems suitable for any age and any occasion.

Beige is worth a try if you're looking for an expensive modern floral. I guess it's just not quite what I'm looking for and not what I was expecting from Chanel in the 21st century.

The Les Excluisifs collection was challenging curiosity for me, so when I first had the chance to sniff at the scents at an luxury shopping place in Dublin, I had the time of the day :-)

Beige, along with 2 more scents - Sycomore and Cuir de Russie DID IMPRESS ME. It does not possess the "typical" Chanel trail of ancient luxury, the mystery of the Femme Fatale lingering in the air, it's simpler, still feminine, tender,the essence of the woman of the 21st century - tender and confident at the same time.
It is a different sensation of floral, mixing with the sweetness of honey, yet discreetly giving way to the rather indiscernible blend of the freesia and hawthorne.
It is my next Chanel-MUST-buy

Chanel Beige! My initial thought on this was another identifiable floral basic by Chanel. When I think of beige, I think blase, boring, blah! This fragrance is none of those. It's beautiful! Perhaps, beige in French is perceived as elegant, as this perfume certainly is. The intensity of freesia takes the lead with it's crisp, flowery coolness. The enlightenment of Hawthorne extends the cool floral feel and it feels as if you have entered a spring floral mecca. The franginpani adds the tropical essence and the honey warms ups the entire experience. To be as accurate and precise in my review, I've given it the "full monty" test and can confirm that it performs extremely well with an everlasting life of 10 hours plus. It's remarkable! This winning combination of tasteful notes is none other then a timeless Chanel triumph! It's everything a French perfume should be. With Cuir de Russie being my favorite, this is definitely a front runner! I like it! I really, really like it!

I got this fragrance at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! It is so elegant and has such beautiful notes...of all the Chanel fragrances I own (the new No. 5, Allure Sensuelle, #19, Chance, and Coco Madamoiselle), this is my favorite! Nordstrom informs me they will have it in their store by April, but not sure if it will just be at the Nordstroms with the Chanel boutiques or not.
