N°5 PARFUM DIRECTIONS
Suggested Usage:-Fragrance is intensified by the warmth of your own body. Apply in the creases of your knees and elbows for a longer-lasting- stronger scent. -After applying- avoid rubbing or dabbing skin. This breaks down the fragrance- causing it to wear off more quickly. -If you prefer placing fragrance on your wrists- be sure to reapply after frequent hand-washing- as this tends to rinse off the scent. -Replace fragrance after 12 months. Expired perfumes more than a year old lose the integrity of the original scent.
N°5 PARFUM DESCRIPTION
Fragrance Family: Floral Scent Type: Powdery Floral Key Notes: Aldehydes- Jasmine- Neroli- Sandalwood Fragrance Description: When Gabrielle Chanel created N°5 Parfum with perfumer Ernest Beaux in 1921- she launched a revolution in a bottle. It was the first of its kind — ground-breaking for Beaux's innovative use of aldehydes- or synthetic components which add layers of complexity- making N°5 shockingly modern in an era of single-note scents. As the most potent symbol of the luxurious simplicity for which Chanel is renowned- N°5 has since become more than a fragrance. It is an olfactory heritage: an idea of femininity- a masterpiece of chic- passed on from generation to generation. The now and forever fragrance.Designed in 1921 by Gabrielle Chanel herself- the simple lines and incredibly plain white label of The Classic Bottle were as surprising as the fragrance. The chiseled stopper- cut like a diamond- was inspired by the geometry of the Place Vendôme that Gabrielle could gaze at from the balcony of her room at the Ritz in Paris. Over the years- only subtle changes have been made to the original design in order to preserve its stunningly contemporary aesthetic.Since the creation of N°5- Chanel has practiced the art of baudruchage to seal bottles of parfum. Performed entirely by hand- the technique consists of placing a fine membrane over the neck of the bottle and holding it in place with two rows of pearl-cotton thread. It is then closed with a wax seal. From this moment- a pact of exclusiveness is sealed: the bottle can only be opened by the woman for whom it is destined. COMPOSITION A bouquet of abstract flowers is how Gabrielle Chanel described N°5- a floral-aldehydic fragrance whose formula requires no less than eighty ingredients. At first- the scent unfolds with a stunning surge of Ylang-Ylang and Neroli (bitter orange tree blossom). Then- a perfect harmony of voluptuous May Rose and sensuous Jasmine from Grasse emerges- followed by a vibrant woody base of Sandalwood- Bourbon Vetiver and Vanilla. An ever-changing fragrance with no single dominant note- N°5 boasts the incredible power of being able to be interpreted differently based on the wearer- thus revealing each woman's uniqueness. HOW TO APPLY Parfum is the most precious- concentrated and long-lasting form of fragrance- with its own specific application. Gabrielle Chanel's advice was to apply Parfum wherever you want to be kissed. Neck- wrist- décolleté… Apply a drop of Parfum on each pulse point- letting it develop on your skin and feeling the fragrance echo the beat of your heart.
