Chanel is a house of Haute Couture, fragrance and accessories, founded by Gabrielle Chanel (1883-1971). Known as Coco, or Mademoiselle, she created the House of Chanel in the 1910s and launched her first perfume in 1921, an aldehyde christened N°5. Like Chanel’s fashions, N° 5, a global classic, pairs timeless elegance and minimalism. A recognizable style that can still be seen in Chanel’s collections, which have been signed Karl Lagerfeld since 1983. Other olfactory successes have followed N° 5: Pour Monsieur, N°19 and Coco, and more recently, Allure, Allure pour Homme and Coco Mademoiselle. Also present in cosmetics, in 2007 the house launched ‘Les Exclusifs CHANEL’, a collection of rare fragrances with an exclusive distribution.
