A New Chapter for BLEU DE CHANEL
CHANEL confirms Jacob Elordi as the new ambassador for BLEU DE CHANEL, opening a new chapter for one of the House’s defining masculine fragrances. He is presented as an embodiment of the scent’s spirit, combining contemporary sensibilities with a recognisably CHANEL poise and restraint.
Elordi’s career, shaped by complex roles across series and film, mirrors the fragrance’s narrative of freedom and self‑definition. By aligning BLEU DE CHANEL with an actor at this point in his trajectory, CHANEL underscores fragrance as an expression of character rather than a simple accessory.
Cinematic Credentials and Screen Presence
Jacob Elordi gained international attention as Nate Jacobs in Euphoria, a role that revealed his capacity to portray characters who are both magnetic and unsettling. This early success positioned him as a key figure for audiences who experience stories through streaming and cinema.
His subsequent choices reinforced this direction. In 2023, he appeared in Saltburn, directed by Emerald Fennell, furthering his reputation for embracing disquieting, unconventional roles. The same year he portrayed Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, requiring not only physical transformation but also a personal interpretation of a cultural icon.
Elordi then expanded his portfolio with The Narrow Road to the Deep North, an award‑winning limited series directed by Justin Kurzel. His involvement in such projects underlines a consistent interest in layered narratives and challenging material, a temperament that echoes CHANEL’s portrayal of BLEU DE CHANEL as a fragrance with mystery and interiority.
From Auteur Collaborations to CHANEL’s Fragrance Universe
Elordi’s appointment by CHANEL grows from this broader cinematic context. He plays the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s interpretation of Frankenstein, a performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor and highlighted his range across physicality and emotion.
He also appears as Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell’s reimagining of Wuthering Heights, opposite Margot Robbie. Robbie previously starred in See You at 5 (2024), a romantic film directed by Luca Guadagnino for the global campaign of CHANEL’s N°5 fragrance, where Thomas du Pré de Saint Maur, Head of Global Creative Resources, Fragrance & Beauty at CHANEL, first collaborated with Elordi.
CHANEL emphasises this shared cinematic space as central to the BLEU DE CHANEL story. The House highlights the filmmakers and actors who have shaped the fragrance’s visual language, and by placing Elordi within this lineage, positions him inside an ongoing narrative that links fragrance, film and contemporary masculine identity.
Embodiment of Modern, Instinctive Masculinity
For CHANEL, Jacob Elordi reflects BLEU DE CHANEL’s codes of freedom, mystery and magnetism. His masculinity is described as instinctive and modern, yet balanced by a classic elegance that aligns with the brand’s aesthetic, making him both current and enduring.
Elordi acknowledges the legacy of filmmakers and actors associated with BLEU DE CHANEL and expresses respect for this creative community. His participation extends that continuity for a fragrance that has built its image on understatement, presence and a controlled, timeless allure.
The new BLEU DE CHANEL L’EXCLUSIF campaign featuring Elordi will be revealed in May 2026. While visual details remain under wraps, its place within CHANEL’s cinematic tradition suggests an emphasis on atmosphere and character, articulating how the House interprets masculine identity as ideas of self and style continue to evolve.
