I AM A NOSE
A composer who translates notes into scents. An artisan who shapes an idea. An inventor who gives substance to an inspiration. A creator who tailors a fragrance like a garment. Olivier Polge is the nose who is sensitive to the times and to the spirit of CHANEL.
A COMPOSER
« When I was 20 years old, I started to learn the métier, and I discovered that music and fragrance share the same language. I realised that I had to compose and write formulas made of notes and harmonies. »
– Olivier Polge
AN OPUS
In this new composition of N°5, a unique facet of the fragrance is highlighted. The focus is on citrus, especially orange and bergamot. The floral notes of jasmine and ylang-ylang are amplified; they breathe. A woody, cedar facet infuses the fragrance with more energy and spontaneity. An olfactory balance with surprising freshness.
A CREATOR
« CHANEL N°5 has something to say; a part of it is quite contemporary. Reinventing the fragrance today says how relevant it is. »
– Olivier Polge
I AM AN IDEA
A fragrance is a creation, an elaboration of the mind. An idea—imagined, tailored, composed—that answers to an ever-changing desire. It is a unique story.
A GARMENT
CHANEL fragrances are assembled and tailored like a garment. They fit; they are worn. They have colours, textures and are suitable to the seasons.
A NEGLIGÉE
A fragrance reveals your inner being, your essence, your truth.
« A fragrance expresses something personal, something intimate, and by that, it becomes an instrument of seduction. »
– Olivier Polge
A STYLE
A CHANEL fragrance is a style, an allure, An elegance, a signature.
A garment.
To wear a CHANEL fragrance is to choose a style that goes beyond fashion.
A PERSONALITY
A CHANEL fragrance marks a presence.
When worn, it transforms to express your individuality.
« I am a designer of couture. I want a fragrance that is a composition, like a dress. »
– Gabrielle Chanel
