We’ve all heard of Coco Chanel but did you know that the famous ‘Chanel No.5’ perfume was created back in 1921, and yes that makes this highly desired modern scent officially an antique - well at least an original bottle of the perfume!
Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel sought the help of Ernest Beaux to create a "woman's fragrance that smells like a woman", a scent for the modern woman. The name "N°5" simply came from the fact that it was the fifth sample of the fragrance. As with everything Coco Chanel touched the design of the Fragrance and the bottle was key, creating a product that was on brand with an unusually simple angular bottle with a plain white label topped with a multi-faceted cabochon.
