In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel decided to create a fragrance unlike any other:
“A woman’s perfume with the scent of a woman.”
To fulfill her request, perfumer Ernest Beaux broke with the traditional codes of perfumery and presented her with an olfactory revolution.
Mademoiselle gave the scent a name like a code.
N°5
A name that made all others unfashionable.
In 1924, she launched N°5 Eau de Toilette.
Chanel N°5 Eau de Toilette is a floral-woody fragrance, a vibrant interpretation of N°5.
The floral aldehydic bouquet is intertwined with the strength of Sandalwood.
