CHANEL No. 5 Eau De Toilette Perfume

In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel asked Ernest Beaux to create “a woman’s perfume, a scent of a woman.” Beaux presented her with various samples of a visionary composition that made unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle chose the 5th and decided to name it, simply, N°5. In 1924, she launched N°5 Eau de Toilette, a warm, vibrant echo of the now and forever fragrance. Powerful top notes, dominated by ylang-ylang and neroli, are enhanced by aldehydes. At the very heart of the fragrance is the fullness of a magnificent rose and jasmine floral accord. A base of vanilla, vetiver and sandalwood creates a warm, dynamic sillage. New, never been used. 3.4 oz. (100 ml) Comes with Chanel gift box, tissues, ribbon and gift bag.
