The difficulty was trying to set the right tone to convey what a 'parfum for men' could be. We had to avoid simply repeating what had already been done. Intensity and refinement can be expressed without throwing an olfactory punch. That is why I wanted to give more space to the sandalwood, to let it fuse with the cedar and fresh top notes. - Olivier Polge, Chanel's in-House Perfumer Creator
