product information

PRODUCT

A modern, fresh and vibrant embodiment of the now and forever scent. Timeless and audacious, simple and sophisticated, N°5 L’EAU is the N°5 of today. The Classic Bottle features a continuous misting spray, as well as beveled glass that appears crystal clear: an expression of simplicity and elegance.

COMPOSITION

Composed by Olivier Polge, CHANEL In-House Perfumer Creator, N°5 L’EAU features dynamic, crisp top notes of lemon, mandarin and orange that reveal lightheartedness and transparency. The emblematic heart of the bouquet unfolds with rose, jasmine and a touch of ylang-ylang, more modern than ever. Behind this floral whirlwind lies an unprecedented sense of liveliness: the vibrant echo of cedar accompanied by soft and cottony musk.

ART OF PERFUMING

The Eau de Toilette comes in a spray for a more generous application.

Is Chanel 5 only for women?? I being men want to wear, which Chanel 5 is best for male? Means EDP, EDT ??
Adnan A on Jan 26, 2025
BEST ANSWER: Scents are very subjective and thus, for fragrances it is above all based on personal preference. This is why, for example, we have developed a dedicated experience in some of our Fragrance & Beauty boutiques where customers are invited to blindly discover all our fragrances to find the one that suits them. Additionally, the Eau de Parfum is the closest in strength and character to the parfum form.
The Eau de Toilette is lightest and most relaxed fragrance.
use for women?
