Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum (launched in 1986; reinterpretation by Jacques Polge of Ernest Beaux’s original 1921 creation) remains the emblem of refined femininity and perfumery innovation.
It opens with luminous, effervescent aldehydes paired with touches of bergamot, neroli, lemon, and a hint of ylang‑ylang—creating an immediate, champagne-like brilliance with soft floral sweetness.
In the heart, an abstract bouquet of May rose, jasmine, iris, and lily of the valley emerges—a harmonious floral symphony with powdery elegance and sophisticated balance.
The base unfolds into creamy sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver, musk, amber, patchouli, and cedar—yielding warm, velvety woods and gentle sweetness, anchoring the fragrance in graceful depth and sensuality.
Best For: Formal events, evenings, romantic occasions, and professional settings. Suited to cool to moderate weather—especially fall, winter, and mild spring evenings, where its rich warmth and sophistication shine.
