Perfume Review – Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum

February 21, 2025 By in Product Reviews Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

I love my Chanel perfumes, so falling in love with this baby right here was easy! Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance from the Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection. I sniffed it while shopping in Paris last summer and knew I had to have it. The fragrance is warm, woody, spicy, and smoky, so if that sounds like the sort of scent you like, you would love Chanel Syc0more Eau de Parfum.

Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum reminds me of the earthy scent of Vetiver. It smells amazing yet not overpowering. This is a perfume that sits close to the skin, so the projection is not as strong as some of the other fragrances in my collection. Having said that, it does the job perfectly when I want my perfume to stay closer to my skin.

Perfume Review – Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum

The fragrance SYCOMORE was created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1930. Named for a giant tree, SYCOMORE evokes the earthy nature of autumn. It recounts the heat radiating from the earth, like an echo to Mademoiselle’s childhood amongst the centuries-old volcanoes in Auvergne.

SYCOMORE by Chanl is composed around the smoky scent of vetiver. Its notes of cedar and vanilla leave behind a reassuring, slightly spicy fragrant touch.

PROS
  1. The bottle was beautifully wrapped, and the service at the store was amazing.
  2. I love the fragrance a lot. I find it so refreshing.
  3. It is a unisex fragrance and is one of those fragrances you can wear all through the year.
  4. I like that Sycomore is not overpowering at all. It is an easy scent to wear.
CONS
  1. I would have preferred if this perfume had a bit more projection. It becomes a skin scent after a few hours, it would have been lovely to have it project a little longer.

Overall, I would rate this perfume 7/10. It is a lovely fragrance to try out, especially for the clean skin scent lovers. I also got samples from the other fragrances in the Chanel Exclusif range, and they are all so good. I wish I could have a full-sized bottle of them all!

What do you think of Chanel Sycomore? Have you tried this fragrance before? Are you a fan of Chanel perfumes?

Product Description

The Roberto Cavalli perfume belongs to the ambery floral family. An exuberant fragrance which exudes a genuine strength of character, it exhilarates and mesmerises from the very first contact… essentially addictive.

PROS
  1. This warm fragrance has good longevity. You may need a few more sprays than your average perfume to have it smelling for longer.
  2. The bottle is so pretty. I love the design.
  3. This fragrance is budget friendly and usually on sale, so shop around. At the time of writing, it was on sale for £24.99.
  4. It is great for the cooler months, so I am making the most of it now with the colder weather.

CONS
  1. The fragrance is quite spicy and not my favourite type of scent.
  2. I love my perfumes lasting a bit more, with great projection as well, and this doesn’t quite the spot.

Overall, this perfume by Roberto Cavalli is a great option if you like your fragrances more oriental and warm, with a touch of spicy. This perfume reminds me of black pepper for some reason. It is a great everyday scent, especially for the autumn/winter months.
