Chanel - N°5 - Bottle extract - Luxury Fragrances - 15 ml

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.

Grasse neroli is combined with the sensual and floral notes of two exceptional raw materials, May rose and Grasse jasmine.
The aldehydes give an impalpable freshness and give the perfume its characteristic abstract note.

Inspiration

In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel turned to Ernest Beaux to create "a rare and intense" women's perfume that smells like a woman ". The perfumer proposes a visionary composition that foresees an unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle prefers version number 5 of the fragrance and, for her name, chooses this simple number. For the new composition, adopt an extreme bottle, adorned with a white label and a faceted cabochon cap. The unprecedented fragrance, the name and the bottle with sober lines revolutionize the history of perfumery. N ° 5 imposes itself as a cult fragrance.

Art of Perfuming

The extract is the quintessence of a perfume. A specific and feminine gesture for all extracts. "Perfume yourself wherever you want to be kissed," said Gabrielle Chanel. Neck, wrist, décolleté, hollow of the elbow ... A drop in the most intimate points of the body, where the heartbeat vibrates. To revive the notes of the fragrance throughout the day, the practical rechargeable vaporizer is ideal to always carry with you.
