Chanel N° 5

A magnificent volume celebrating the 100th anniversary of the world's most famous perfume. Few fragrances have a success story comparable to that of Chanel No. 5, "The Essence of Femininity." To complement her fashion for the modern woman, Coco Chanel created this unique scent in 1921, which features a complex composition of numerous ingredients, including synthetic elements for the first time, and is still regarded as the best-selling perfume in the world. Famous clients like Marilyn Monroe contributed to the triumph of Chanel No. 5, as did prominent brand ambassadors such as Catherine Deneuve, Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Paradis, and Audrey Tautou. For the first time, Chanel opens its archives and presents in this lavish volume the unparalleled history of the legendary fragrance, from the development of its iconic packaging to spectacular advertising campaigns by renowned photographers. Two opulently designed volumes in a stylish jewelry box make the book itself a coveted object.
