The heroine of Lewis Caroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ off... Go
Ylang-Ylang, Aldehydes, Neroli
With strength and flair the mythic Chanel N°5 has been a best-seller for nearly a century. ‘Fashion passes, style remains,’ Gabrielle Chanel used to say. Sleekly clarified, N°5 EAU PREMIERE is neither entirely the same nor entirely other. 87 years after the launch of N°5, Jacques Polge lets us see Chanel’s mythic perfume in a fresh, new light. If it were a painting, Chanel says, this wouldn’t be the sketch, but the watercolor.
The ingredients of N°5 are still there, but the proportions are different. The ylang-ylang has been softened. The aldehydes and neroli bestow greater freshness. Vanilla and woods have a stronger presence in the trail.
Eau de Parfum 2.5 and 5 oz.
The bottle is more slender, less square.
