Cult Classic: Chanel N°5 now available in a new edition
updated the 6 October 2015 à 22:28
The exquisite Chanel N°5 scent is now available in smaller formats to give you all the more reason to tote it around in your bag.
The affinity for number five did not come about by luck. The iconography of N°5 reveals that the number held a special place in French couturier, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s heart. It had a mystic meaning and it is known that Chanel chose the fifth vial from some scent compositions presented to her by a master perfumer.
She famously said “I present my dress collections on the fifth of May, the fifth month of the year and so we will let this sample number five keep the name it has already, it will bring good luck.”
It has certainly brought with it good luck as over the years, Chanel’s cult N°5 has cast a spell on millions around the world with its luxurious scent. Fast forward to 2015 and we are ready to welcome the modern interpretation of N°5.
Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere contains notes of neroli, aldehydes and ylang-ylang along with hints of rose and jasmine. Completing the new fragrance are base notes such as vetiver, sandalwood and vanilla, which honestly sounds like quite the floral delight to us. Housed in the signature Chanel perfume bottle, this fragrance is also available as a Eau De Parfum. Additionally, the classic perfume bottles in the new, smaller editions (35ml) definitely make it so much more portable for on the go freshening up!
So if you’re looking to switch up your fragrance selection or treat yourself this festive season, it’s definitely high time you made a visit to Chanel.
Available in new 35ml formats, Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere and N°5 Eau De Parfum will hit all Chanel stores and counters from 30 October.
