There are a handful of fragrances that can truly be described as classic, but CHANEL No. 5 is certainly one of them. Timeless, elegant and with a certain cache, much like it’s creator, Coco Chanel. Read on for more…
When you read the history of the fragrance and of the woman behind it, CHANEL has a legacy of firsts. For me, CHANEL No. 5 was my first “real” fragrance. I received it as a gift from my Mom and Dad on my 16th birthday. I’ll never forget how grown-up and sophisticated I felt!
And now, CHANEL is opening their archives and is releasing a series of short films on the events and people who influenced the destiny of Coco Chanel and forged the legend. The first in a series of videos that you’ll be able to follow on the website “Inside CHANEL” (inside-chanel.com) begins with the legend of CHANEL No. 5, from its genesis to its muses, who have embodied the perfume since it was first created.
I know I’ll be awaiting and watching each “Inside CHANEL” episode. Do you love the images and history of CHANEL No. 5 as much as I do? Share in the comments!

I happened to be in a Macy’s department store yesterday and had the opportunity to try the perfume Chanel #5 as I had tried it years ago and forgot the smell and I found the perfume to be quite clean and somewhat flowery, but that is because I tried a few on before trying this one and that is not a good idea if you are trying to find the “perfect scent” that smells delicious on your body! Thank you and have a wonderful and safe day!
