Jersey

(Chanel 2011)

Nose: Jacque Polge

Notes: grass, tonka bean, jasmine, rose, vanille, wildflowers, lavender, and musk.

I’ve read reviews of this one that suggest it’s outdated. …In a way I care. But I also actually don’t.

Chanel Jersey is a timeless periwinkle in hue. It’s dark and light and warm and reflectively cool. It’s a gorgeous Chanel.

When I feel particularly sad I wear Jersey. Because it reminds me of something happy from childhood. Maybe some combination of lavender and vanilla in fabric found somewhere. Some trace of something as it should be not how it sometimes actually is.

And…Chanel Jersey reminds me of what can hopefully still be with redemption.
