In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel commissioned Ernest Beaux to create "a perfume for women with the scent of a woman," something unique and powerful. The perfumer presented her with a visionary composition based on the previously unknown use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle chose the fragrance sample number 5 and kept this number as its simple name. For this innovative perfume, she designed a radical bottle adorned with a plain white label and a faceted cabochon. In 1986, Jacques Polge, who had been Chanel's perfumer since 1978, presented a reinterpretation of the olfactory score, a livelier interpretation of N°5: the Eau de Parfum.
The Eau de Parfum is an interpretation of the fragrance with the same unique floral-aldehyde signature. Hesperidic notes enliven the top note of this floral bouquet, which revolves around May rose and jasmine. The aldehydes give it a unique presence, while the precious warmth of vanilla provides an infinitely sensual base note.

Mit Legenden ist das so eine Sache. Alle werden ein bisschen ehrfürchtig, wenn es um große Namen mit großer Geschichte geht. Und alle wissen ein bisschen etwas dazu. Zum Beispiel, dass Marilyn Monroe gesagt habe: "Zum Schlafen trage ich nur ein paar Tropfen Chanel No. 5." ÖKOTEST-Urteile fallen meist weniger verklärt aus...
