Chanel’s perfume pencils do not necessarily represent a new idea—but they do represent an idealized design of a familiar one.

As discreet as can be, these little accessories let you apply a variety of moods with pinpoint accuracy and covert secrecy…unless you want to show off. Then their pastel colors declare your allegiance to one of four alluring scents. It’s up to you to decide which makes the best choice according to the moment at hand.

The smart, efficient packet of 4 pencils includes Chance, Eau Fraîche, Eau Vive, and Eau Tendre. Eau Fraîche is the ebullient one, Chance puts a little mystery into your game, Eau Vive is invigorating, and Eau Tendre is seductively gentle. Application is quick and easy—the tip allows for brushstroke softness.

Chanel’s Perfume Pencils will be available at your favorite perfume counter or boutique by the middle of January, and priced at ~$80.
