Composition of the fragrance

Story of the fragrance
Chanel N°5 Eau de Parfum for women was first introduced in 1921 by the famous Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. Gabrielle wanted this fragrance to reflect her memories from her childhood in the French town of Aubazine. The chemist Ernest Beaux successfully created a few samples and Gabrielle especially liked sample number 5, which inspired the name of this iconic fragrance. The first 100 bottles were manufactured as a gift for the designer’s best customers, and then the fragrance became available in the Chanle boutique. After a hundred years on the market, Chanel N°5 is still one of the most popular fragrances in the world.

The founder of Chanel, dubbed the Queen of Fashion, Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, was born in 1883 in Saumur, a small town in the west of France. However, once she was in Paris, she conquered the fashion world with her progressive costume design with legs and a skirt.
Coco Chanel began as a bar singer, where she got her nickname. As early as 1912, she opened her first fashion salon, and was soon a recognised designer. By the mid-20th-century, she was setting the trends in haute couture and Chanel was worn by personalities such as Jacqueline Kennedy and Grace Kelly.
It was not long before Chanel’s interest spread to cosmetics and perfume. The very first Chanel perfume, the legendary Chanel No. 5, was launched in 1921 and is still one of the best-known and best-selling perfumes of all time. Nowadays, we can easily say that Chanel Chance, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Chanel Gabrielle are also cult classics.
