In 1921, Coco Chanel wanted “a woman’s fragrance that smells like
woman.” When perfume designer Ernest Beaux presented her with his fifth
composition, the choice seemed simple and obvious: her perfume would be
called N°5. It is an aldehydic floral, a bouquet of abstract flowers
with an indefinable femininity. N°5 starts with notes of ylang-ylang and
neroli, then unfolds with Grasse jasmine and May rose. Sandalwood and
vanilla round out the composition with unforgettable woody notes. The
first Chanel N°5 perfume was captured in a simple rectangular bottle
with the top which resembled Place Vendome in Paris. In 1959, the
packaging secured a place for the scent in the permanent collections of
the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
