Chanel 28 La Pausa

Chanel 28 La Pausa, part of the exclusive Les Exclusifs collection, is a fragrance that pays homage to Gabrielle Chanelβs villa on the French Riviera. It is a minimalist composition that centers entirely on the iris root, capturing the essence of a serene, sunny afternoon in the South of France.
Unlike the more bombastic scents in the market, 28 La Pausa is an exercise in restraint. It does not shout; it whispers, offering a sophisticated olfactory experience that emphasizes clean lines and powdery textures. For those who appreciate the subtle nuances of iris, this fragrance stands as a benchmark of modern perfumery.
