- The scent opens with grapefruit and lychee, moves into rose and jasmine, and settles into patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver, it launches August 19, 2026.

Chanel has named Gracie Abrams the face of Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu, the house announced on July 15. It’s the first new addition to the fragrance line in six years, created by in-house perfumer Olivier Polge.
The scent opens with grapefruit and lychee, moves into a rose-and-jasmine heart, and settles into patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver. “It’s unreal to be the new face of Coco Mademoiselle, I feel an immense sense of pride,” Abrams said in Chanel’s release. The fragrance and campaign arrive August 19.
This campaign builds on a relationship years in the making. Abrams became a Chanel house ambassador in 2024 and fronted the Coco Crush jewelry line’s summer push. She also serves as the global face of Hourglass Cosmetics and has endorsed Pandora.
Coco Mademoiselle has a storied ambassador history. Keira Knightley wore the crown for years, and Margot Robbie fronts Chanel No. 5. On the men’s side, Chanel tapped Jacob Elordi as the new face of Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif this spring.
Abrams arrives at a career peak. Her third album, Daughter From Hell, dropped July 17, following “That’s So True” and an AMA win for New Artist of the Year.
She’s also joining a wave of musicians crossing into fragrance: Megan Moroney just launched her own scent with Scent Beauty as she heads into The Look at My Life Tour this December.
Takeaways
Chanel isn’t just borrowing Abrams’ fame for a season; it’s been layering her into the house across jewelry, ready-to-wear, and now fragrance since 2024. That’s a slower, more deliberate build than a splashy one-off signing, and it signals Chanel sees her as a long-term “égérie,” not a trend hire.
The timing also isn’t accidental: landing two days before her album dropped gives both moments a shared spotlight. Zoom out, and Abrams joins a growing 2026 trend of musicians (across pop, country, and beyond) treating fragrance as the new merch drop.
Does stacking one star across multiple product lines within a single house build more brand equity than a splashy single-campaign deal? As more artists launch their own personal scents, does fronting a legacy fragrance like Coco Mademoiselle still carry more prestige than founding your own?
