Story:
A mythical perfume and the undisputed leader of creative fragrances, Chanel N°5 is the number one seller in the world. Mademoiselle Chanel, whose haute couture business was very fashionable in the 20's asked Ernest Beaux, a Russian perfume creator to develop a "woman's perfume that smells like a woman.''. He showed her two series of creations numbered 1 through 5 and 20 through 24. She chose the ''fifth sample''. For the first time Ernest Beaux had incorporated synthetic substances, aldehydes, in his formula – Blended with may roses and jasmine from Grasse, they formed a mysterious and indefinable scent. A work of genius! No-one had ever dared to deviate from single flower scented perfumes before. A superstitious woman, Chanel introduced her new collection on the fifth of May, the fifth month of the year, with the fifth sample as selected, and she named it N°5.

Description:
Leader of the aldehyde floral family, N°5's top note soars with hesperidia followed by a floral bouquet of jasmine from Grasse and may rose. Sandalwood and vetiver give the end note a woody touch.
