N°5, the very essence of femininity.
A timeless, legendary, powdery floral bouquet. Composed using raw materials of the finest quality, the parfum is the most precious version of the fragrance. It is housed in a bottle with a minimalist design, hand-sealed with a baudruche film and topped with a cabochon cut like a diamond.
In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel asked Ernest Beaux to create "a woman's perfume with a woman's scent", rare and powerful. The nose presented her with a visionary composition that made unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle chose the fifth sample of the fragrance, and decided to name it simply N°5. For this new fragrance, she opted for a bottle with a radical design, adorned with a white label and topped with a faceted cabochon. The unprecedented scent of the fragrance, along with its simple name and bottle, revolutionised the history of perfumery. N°5 has become a true cult fragrance.
An abstract fragrance that reveals a delectably powdered bouquet, the N°5 Parfum is the quintessence of femininity.
Top notes of Neroli from Grasse blend into the sensual, floral notes of two exceptional raw materials, May Rose and Jasmine from Grasse.
Aldehydes provide airy freshness and lend an abstract effect to the fragrance.
