Chanel #5 parfum
No. 5, the very essence of femininity.
A mythical, timeless aldehyde floral bouquet. Composed from the noblest raw materials, the extract is the most precious form of perfume. It is sublimated in a bottle with minimalist lines, hand-wrapped and topped with a diamond-cut cabochon.
Composition
An abstract fragrance that reveals a deliciously powdery bouquet, Extract No. 5 is the quintessence of femininity.
Grasse neroli opens with the sensual and floral notes of two exceptional raw materials, May rose and Grasse jasmine.
Aldehydes bring an airy freshness and give the fragrance its abstract effect.
INSPIRATION
In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel called on Ernest Beaux to create “a woman’s perfume with a woman’s scent”, rare and powerful. The nose offered her a visionary composition using an unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle acclaimed version number 5 of the fragrance, and decided to keep this number as a simple name. For this new juice, she chose a radical bottle, decorated with a white label and topped with a faceted cabochon. The perfume’s unprecedented scent, but also its name and its stripped-down bottle, revolutionized the history of perfumery. N°5 established itself as a cult fragrance.
THE ART OF PERFUME
The extract is the quintessence of a perfume. Its gesture is precise and particular. Perfume yourself “on all the places where you risk being kissed” advises Gabrielle Chanel. Neck, wrist, décolleté, crook of the elbow… Place a drop on the most intimate points of the body, where the heartbeat vibrates. To revive the notes of the fragrance throughout the day, the rechargeable spray, practical and portable, slips into the bag and can be taken everywhere.
Chanel Allure parfum
PRODUCT
Difficult to define, impossible to resist. Clean and sheer, warm and sexy, ALLURE is a floral, fresh ambery fragrance that finds an expression unique to each woman. Because every woman has her own special allure.
COMPOSITION
Sparkling notes of Mandarin combine with the softness of May Rose and the sensuality of Vanilla. This perfume features an intoxicating Passion Fruit note with a Peony accord and a warmer ambery facet.
No. 19 parfum
PRODUCT
The last fragrance launched and worn by Gabrielle Chanel, N°19 pays tribute to the day she was born: August 19. A daring, distinctive, uncompromising composition, in the image of Mademoiselle. A floral, woody, green scent with perfect balance.
Designed in 1921, The Classic Bottle is striking in its simplicity. The chiseled stopper was inspired by the geometry of Paris’s Place Vendôme, which Mademoiselle could gaze at from her room at the Ritz.
Since then, CHANEL has practiced the art of baudruchage to seal bottles of Parfum. Performed entirely by hand, the technique consists of placing a fine membrane over the neck of the bottle and holding it in place with 2 rows of pearl-cotton thread. It is then closed with a black wax stamp.
COMPOSITION
A play on contrasts: Vibrant green notes of galbanum mingle with the soft, powdery notes of May rose and iris from Florence, along with Grasse neroli.
No. 22 parfum
PRODUCT
Created in 1922, this seductive scent is a light variation of the legendary N°5 fragrance developed a year earlier by Gabrielle Chanel and Ernest Beaux, the first Director of CHANEL Fragrance.
COMPOSITION
Delicately fashioned with a smooth, tender and powdery accord of tuberose, rose and orange blossom, N°22 resonates with an absolute femininity.
Coco Chanel parfum
PRODUCT
Gabrielle Chanel cultivated the art of paradox. The woman behind an understated, pared-down style that revolutionized women’s fashion was equally fond of the baroque, which inspired the decor of her apartment on rue Cambon and her Byzantine jewelry collections.
COCO expresses the intensity of Mademoiselle’s personality. A mysterious, provocative ambery scent that gradually reveals its contrasting notes.
COMPOSITION
The fragrance opens with a citrus note of Sicilian mandarin and reveals a voluptuous heart of jasmine absolute, heightened with touches of ylang-ylang from the Comoros and Tunisian orange blossom. A captivating harmony possessing an enveloping trail tinged with Indonesian patchouli, benzoin and tonka.
