Chanel dresses a Washington Street storefront as a Parisian-style café where the menu is perfume: you take a seat at the bar and are walked through Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu, the newest version of the Coco Mademoiselle scent. The set mirrors the campaign's intimate café setting, and the experience extends to Chanel makeup, hair and body products. If you want unhurried time with Chanel beauty staff away from a department-store counter, this second weekend is the last chance.
What to expect
Check in, then settle at the bar or a café table where staff introduce the new Crush Absolu fragrance alongside the rest of the Coco Mademoiselle family. The space is styled like a café, so it plays well for photos, and you can explore Chanel makeup and body products before you leave.
Good to know
- Nearest trains are the A, C, E and L at 14th Street–Eighth Avenue.

Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
Chanel takes appointments through its event page and notes walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are limited, so booking helps at busy times.
Is it a real café?
It is a café-inspired set rather than a working coffee shop; the focus is discovering the Coco Mademoiselle fragrances and Chanel beauty.
Where is it?
873 Washington Street in the Meatpacking District, about a block from the High Line.
