N°5

Product

In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel asked Ernest Beaux to create “a woman’s perfume, a scent of a woman.” Beaux presented her with samples of a visionary composition that made unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle chose the 5th and decided to name it, simply, N°5. In 2008, Jacques Polge, then the CHANEL perfumer, reinterpreted his predecessor’s radical creation by approaching N°5 from a new angle, revealing its hidden side: EAU PREMIÈRE, a light, airy, luminous version of the now and forever fragrance.

Composition

The voluptuousness of ylang-ylang from the Comoros blends into the harmonious and delicate facets of May rose and jasmine. Aldehydes grant the scent a unique presence, and the smooth touch of vanilla and musky notes creates an incredibly feminine sillage.

Art of perfuming

N°5 EAU PREMIÈRE comes in a spray for easy application.
