This eau de toilette embodies a femininity that words cannot express, becoming the first floral-aldehyde scent of elegance, modernity, and seduction that exists outside of time.
In this classic perfume composition, eighty different components were blended, and from twenty vials, Coco Chanel decided to choose the fifth one, which is how it got its corresponding name. However, Mademoiselle made one addition – she requested the inclusion of a bit of soft lily of the valley, reminding her of youth. Chanel declared that perfume should not smell like lily of the valley or rose; it should "smell like a woman".
Chanel No. 5's abstract blend can be compared to the brilliant and relevant masterpieces of avant-garde artists like Malevich and Kandinsky, while fitting perfectly into the contemporary era.
Delicate, light, with a very pronounced sillage, yet serious and somewhat "prickly," it highlights the complex character of its wearer. It plays throughout the day—appearing or disappearing, attracting universal attention.
