Dana Classics – Chantilly: Capturing The True Charisma Of A Woman

A spritz of sensuality is all she needs to accompany those romantic daydreams, and with Dana Classics Chantilly, such dreams really can become a reality with this classically romantic fragrance. Created by the founding president of the French Society of Perfumers, Marcel Billot; Chantilly represents a prestigious and abiding fragrance from arguably, one of the finest French perfume houses – Houbigant. Dana's acquisition of the luxuriant oriental, ear-marked the continuation of one of the perfume industry's most cherished fragrances.

 

 

 

When it comes to timeless greats, Dana Classics really have the edge. Creators of the critically acclaimed Tabu and Canoe for men, the House of Dana has been delivering sumptuous accords for the best part of 80 years. Chantilly represents one of the newest, yet most anticipated revivals, from a perfumer intent on keeping the old classics well and truly alive.

 

 

 

Chantilly's baby pink packaging aesthetics, and delicate lace print, suggest a subtle girlie number that would more than likely ooze a sweet, floral accord. It's a stereotypical characteristic of fragrances with such feminine décor, however, Chantilly promises more than just a pretty overture, and fairs more as a subtly spicy oriental than anything so chintzy. Chantilly's almost diamond-esque bottle harks back to a bygone era of glamor, when such pieces held equal precedence for ornamental value, on the dressers of the upper-class. Little has changed with today's design, accompanied by a distinctly Victorian inspired packaging; a nod to the tiny village famed for it's delicate lace craft.

 

 

 

Warmed by a distinctive sandalwood base, Dana Classics Chantilly boasts the grounding earthen notes of oakmoss, which are usually characteristic of 'chypre' scents, yet are also often used within orientals to influence a rustic, carnal base note. Chantilly's evocative accord also blossoms with a hint of citrus and jasmine; both decidedly sweet, yet mellow top notes, that add a refreshingly zingy accord, to an already spicy musk. The discern delves further still, to a depth enhanced by the gentle hint of rose, and an interesting admission by Dana of "oriental mysteries". Intrigued? You soon will be once the gentle sweet citrus burst has subsided enough, to reveal the heart of this fragrance.

 

 

 

Despite the intentionally dated aesthetics, which somehow fit with the overall demureness of Chantilly; the fragrance is provocatively playful, and far less powdery than one would associate with such pinkness. Many of her fans describe the accord to be a complexity of smoke, leather and woody notes, combined with a very subtle creaminess – no doubt the culmination of rose and jasmine, which are sometimes likened to strawberries and cream. Newbies to the fragrance are also surprised at the crispness of the first blast, and concur that the dry down is every bit as exciting as the zesty introduction.

 

 

 

In comparison to modern orientals, Chantilly exceeds both expectation, and note quality. Many emphasize too greatly the spicy undertones for definition, whereas the sillage associated with Chantilly can be firmly distinguished by three separate note layers. Each defines an aspect of the female personality, from soft femininity, to dark, mysterious and slyly seductive. If ever there was a fragrance that could be defined for capturing the spirit of a real woman to such an extent, Dana Classics Chantilly is surely it!
