CHANEL No.5 Extrait Parfum Authentic Pre-1970 Formula w/ Box –Rare Collectible

An extraordinary chance to own an authentic CHANEL No.5 Extrait de Parfum, preserved in its original box, dating from the 1950s–1960s era. Brand: CHANEL Fragrance: No.5 Extrait / Parfum (P.M. Edition) Era: Pre-1970 (before formula change to synthetics) Size: Approx. 1 oz (see photos for fill level) Packaging: Original two-piece lift box marked “Extrait P.M. – Made in France” Condition: The Bottle was opened in the past and does not retain the black baudruchage string. Some natural evaporation has occurred. Perfume retains a deep amber hue, rich aroma, and remains suitable for collectors. The box shows light age wear but is complete. Historical Significance This bottle represents the authentic formula of CHANEL No.5 as originally conceived by Coco Chanel in 1921 and perfected under Ernest Beaux. Unlike post-1970 releases reformulated with modern synthetics, this extrait retains the legendary natural jasmine and rose de mai from Grasse — ingredients that defined Chanel’s golden era. ✨ Coco Chanel herself wore this formula throughout her life. ✨ Marilyn Monroe immortalized it, famously declaring she wore “only a few drops of Chanel No.5 to bed.” This particular Extrait P.M. edition (Parfum Milieu) was produced in the mid-20th century and exported to select markets. Surviving examples in original packaging are increasingly scarce, making this piece museum-worthy and highly collectible.
