This eau de toilette encapsulates a femininity that words cannot express, becoming the first floral-aldehyde fragrance of elegance, modernity, and seduction, timeless in its essence.
In this classic perfume composition, eighty different components were blended, out of which Coco Chanel chose the fifth vial, hence the name. However, Mademoiselle made one addition – she requested the inclusion of a touch of tender lily of the valley, reminiscent of youth. Chanel declared that perfume should not smell like lily of the valley or rose, but it should "smell like a woman".
Chanel No. 5, with its abstract blend, can be compared to the brilliant and relevant masterpieces of avant-garde artists like Malevich and Kandinsky, while perfectly fitting into the modern era.
A gentle, light, yet profoundly lingering scent, it is serious and slightly "prickly", highlighting the complex character of its wearer. It plays throughout the day – appearing or disappearing, capturing everyone's attention.
