This eau de toilette embodies femininity that words cannot express, becoming the first floral-aldehyde scent of elegance, modernity, and allure, timeless in its existence.
In this classic perfume composition, eighty different components were blended, from which Coco Chanel decided to choose the fifth vial, hence the given name. However, Mademoiselle made one addition – she requested a touch of gentle lily of the valley, reminiscent of youth. Chanel declared that a perfume should not smell like lily of the valley or rose; it should "smell like a woman".
Chanel No. 5, in its abstract blend, is comparable to the ingenious and relevant masterpieces of avant-garde by Malevich and Kandinsky, while fitting perfectly into the modern era.
Delicate, light, with a significant sillage, yet serious and slightly "prickly," it highlights the complex character of its wearer. It plays throughout the day - appearing or disappearing, capturing the attention of all.
