Chanel No 5 Eau De Parfum

Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum was launched in 1986 and created by Jacques Polge as a modern interpretation of the original 1921 parfum by Ernest Beaux. This floral aldehydic fragrance retains the iconic DNA of the original while adapting it for a contemporary audience. Rich, powdery, and luminous, it is a timeless symbol of femininity, elegance, and sophistication that continues to define classic perfumery.

The fragrance opens with a luminous burst of aldehydes, ylang-ylang, neroli, and bergamot. The aldehydes are sparkling and effervescent, delivering a champagne-like radiance that instantly evokes luxury. Ylang-ylang adds creamy floral warmth, while neroli and bergamot bring fresh, citrusy brightness, creating an iconic and instantly recognizable opening.

The heart is a lush, velvety floral bouquet of May rose, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and iris. The May rose is soft and romantic, perfectly balanced by the narcotic richness of jasmine. Iris introduces a powdery elegance, while lily-of-the-valley adds a green, dewy lift. These florals interweave in seamless harmony, capturing the essence of refined femininity.

The base is deep, sensual, and warm, featuring sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla, patchouli, oakmoss, and musk. Sandalwood and vetiver lend an earthy sophistication, while vanilla adds a smooth sweetness. Patchouli and oakmoss provide structure and depth, and musk offers a soft, skin-like sensuality that lingers delicately.
