The CHANEL No 5 Collection
For more than a century CHANEL No5 has been the quintessence of femininity. Originally created in 1921 by Ernest Beaux, then reimagined in 1986 by Jacques Polge, who designed CHANEL No5 Eau de Parfum—a fuller, more voluminous version of the classic. In this composition, No5 opens with sparkling citrus top notes that give way to reveala floral bouquet centered around May rose and jasmine. The use of aldehydes gives CHANEL No5 a distinctive allure, and a touch of bourbon vanilla delivers a sensuous sillage. CHANEL No5 Eau de Toilette, on the other hand, features top notes of ylang-ylang and neroli that are enhanced by aldehydes. At the heart of the fragrance is a rose and jasmine floral accord, followed by base notes of vanilla, vetiver, and sandalwood. Both CHANEL No5 fragrances are mysterious and feminine—and have the power to effortlessly elevate your look.
To layer your favorite scent, turn to CHANEL No5 body oil, cream, and lotion. Composed to complement the distinctive floral bouquet in CHANEL No5 parfum and eau de parfum, they provide comfort and hydration—as well as added complexity to what is arguably one of the world's most famous fragrances.
