Chanel #5 Eau Premiere Perfume for Women by Chanel

The daughters and grand-daughters of the women who grew up with the ultimate classic, Chanel No.5 were jealous: They wanted to partake of the chicest scent of the 20th century and graft a bit of its star-dusted ambience on them. Yet they always found it too mature for their modern tastes and wanted to deconstruct it, the way Karl Lagerfeld did with the famous Chanel suits pairing the timeless jackets with jeans and biker books. So Chanel in a customary gesture of Gallic gentillesse created No.5 Eau Premiere for all of them; and for every woman who found No.5 too much of a good thing! No.5 Eau Premiere takes the essence of No.5 ~the fresh neroli, the lush Grasse jasmine and ylang ylang and the sensous amber, vetiver and sandalwood of the base~ and gives it the refreshing treatment by polishing down the aldehydes (the fizzy, perfume-y characteristic notes of the classic No.5), boosting the rose and bolstering the sweetness of the vanilla at the base. The result? Youthful, elegantly contemporary, essentially timeless and oh so utterly chic!
