What do reviewers say about Bleu de Chanel and Malbec Noir?
Versatile enough for daily wear, interesting enough to stand out. The vetiver-grapefruit pairing gives it an edge that's hard to place. Clean enough to trust, warm enough to remember.Bleu de Chanel
Malbec Noir punches well above its price. The Pinot Noir heart gives it a distinctive personality you rarely find in this tier. The drydown is warm and refined without straying into heavy territory.Malbec Noir
