Two new men are becoming faces of fragrances: Fendi wil... Go
A year after they dynamited, ‘the very foundations of perfumery with N° 5,’ Gabrielle Chanel and Ernest Beaux created N° 22… ‘A true imprint of femininity according to Chanel.’ N° 22 gets its name from the year of its creation: 1922. In 2007, the fragrance entered the Les Exclusifs collection of rare fragrances sold exclusively at Chanel boutiques.
Like N°5, N°22 is an aldehyde floral. The fragrance reveals a flight of aldehydes that ‘softens the headier bouquet of white flowers: jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang and rose.’ The trail reveals vanilla and frankincense, jazzed up with ‘a touch of vetiver’. Perfumer: Ernest Beaux.
Eau de Toilette 2.5 and 6.8 oz.; Extract 1/2 oz.
