In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel asked Ernest Beaux to create a rare and powerful "woman's perfume, a scent of woman." 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 simply name it N°5. For this new fragrance, she chose a bottle with a revolutionary design, adorned with a white label and topped with a faceted cabochon. In 1986, Jacques Polge, who had been the CHANEL nose since 1978, reinterpreted his predecessor's composition to create a fuller version of N°5: the Eau de Parfum. The Eau de Parfum draws inspiration from the Parfum and shares its floral-aldehydic signature. This floral bouquet, composed around May Rose and Jasmine, features bright citrus top notes. Aldehydes give the fragrance a unique presence and an incredibly sensual trail.
