Chanel - N°5 - Body Cream - Luxury Fragrances - 150 g

Chanel - The Revolutionary Coco

Gabrielle Chanel, a strong and ambitious woman, overturned the women fashion, that was constrained within a rigid social pattern. Chanel the “modiste” didn’t belong to the Parisian aristocracy, nor to the high bourgeoisie, but she managed to make à la page the dressmakers and saleswomen’s dresses even for the rich ladies from Deauville.

She was born on August 19th, 1883, in a small village in the South of France; Coco started out in the fashion industry in 1908, creating hats in Paris and later in Deauville. In the 10s, those cities plus Biarritz saw the opening of her first shops. During the Belle Epoque, women were constrained in rigid corsets and wore pleated, draped and reinforced dresses with petticoats.

Furthermore, you have to consider that the taste of the time imposed an exotic and oriental appeal. It is not difficult to imagine how a fashion style aiming at overturning those rules was considered visionary and impudent at that time. In the same years, Paul Poiret and Mademoiselle Vionnet freed women from corselettes, while Paquin introduced a flowing shape and an Empire style waist.

Portrait

The body cream reveals the feminine and sensual chords of the notes that make it up. Its rich and creamy consistency is applied generously on the body and leaves the skin soft and hydrated, delicately perfumed with No. 5.

Olfactory Atmosphere

Inspired by the satin harmony of rose and jasmine that makes up N ° 5, the body cream was formulated to revive the flowery bouquet of N ° 5 with sensuality and sweetness.

Inspiration

In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel turned to Ernest Beaux to create an intense and original "women's perfume that tastes like a woman". The perfumer proposes a visionary composition that provides for an unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle prefers version number 5 of the fragrance and, for her name, chooses this simple number. The innovative perfume, as well as the name and the disconcerting simplicity of the bottle, revolutionize the history of perfumery.

Art of Perfuming

A complete bath and body ritual that allows you to sublimate the flowery bouquet of N ° 5. Body cream is applied generously on the skin. An enveloping and moisturizing gesture.
