Chanel

What the Chanel range is made of

Across the 58 Chanel fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are jasmine (36%), sandalwood (31%), rose (28%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads smoother than the catalogue as a whole: texture averages 0.34 against 0.48 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

The Chanel range spreads 0.133 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2007.
