Chanel No 5 eau de parfum for women offers a floral-aldehyde composition built around May rose and jasmine. It is intended for women who seek distinctive aldehyde notes complemented by a floral heart and vanilla.

Fragrance and Composition

The composition opens with bright citrus notes and continues into a rich floral heart. At the base, woody and earthy elements intertwine with vanilla.

• Top: aldehydes, ylang-ylang, neroli, bergamot and peach
• Heart: iris, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley
• Base: sandalwood, oakmoss, vanilla, patchouli and vetiver
• Concentration: eau de parfum
• Year of release: 1986
• Perfumer: Jacques Polge

Jacques Polge created this eau de parfum as a fuller reinterpretation of his predecessor's N°5 composition. According to the manufacturer, the aldehydes lend the fragrance a unique distinctiveness, while vanilla creates a smooth and sensual trail.

The result is a bold feminine fragrance in which May rose and jasmine are framed by citrus, woody and vanilla notes.

Application

The fragrance can be applied to the skin or to the inner side of clothing using the spray.

Packaging

The eau de parfum spray has a volume of 200 ml. The Chanel N°5 bottle is characterised by minimalist lines, a white label and a faceted cap.

The spray allows you to apply from the 200 ml bottle to both skin and clothing.

About the Brand

The Chanel brand was founded by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in Paris in 1910 with the opening of her first millinery boutique. She built the fashion house on the principles of freedom and simplicity. From 1913, it also sold sportswear made from jersey fabric, which had previously been used primarily for men's underwear.

The original CHANEL N°5 was launched in 1921 as the first fragrance created by a fashion designer. Its name refers to the fifth sample of the composition that Gabrielle Chanel selected from the proposals of perfumer Ernest Beaux.

The name N°5 thus gains a clear historical context linked to the personal choice of Gabrielle Chanel.
