From your scent profile
Chanel 31 Rue Cambon Eau de Toilette is a feminine fragrance that opens green, with bergamot and black pepper, moves into rose and iris, and settles on a chypre base of patchouli and cistus.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.
How does it perform?

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

ChypreWhat does 31 Rue Cambon (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Green notes, bergamot and black pepper give it a fresh, lightly spicy start. In the heart, rose, iris and ylang-ylang bring a soft, powdery floral quality. Patchouli and cistus anchor it in the base, adding a woody, chypre character.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters place it in spring and fall, for daytime and office wear, and many see it as feminine and classic. It has been discontinued.
