product information

PRODUCT

Since its creation in 1921, N°5 has exuded the very essence of femininity. The abstract, mysterious scent—alive with countless subtle facets—radiates an extravagant floral richness. In 1986, Jacques Polge reinterpreted his predecessor Ernest Beaux’s composition to create a fuller, more voluminous version of the now and forever fragrance: the Eau de Parfum.

COMPOSITION

With its unprecedented use of aldehydes and layers of complexity, N°5 was the world’s first abstract fragrance. The Eau de Parfum draws inspiration from the original Parfum. This floral bouquet, composed around May rose and jasmine, features bright citrus top notes. Aldehydes create a unique presence, while the smooth touch of bourbon vanilla yields an incredibly sensual sillage.

ART OF PERFUMING

The Eau de Parfum comes in a spray for easy application.

    Well I love the scent! I dislike the spray nozzle in that I get one strong burst. I prefer a more gentle burst so that I could apply not just at the base of my throat, but also another site - shoulders. please do not sell my purchase information

A friend gave me a bottle and I fell in love with a perfume for the first time! It’s expensive for me, but I save or ask for it during my birthday/Christmas. Nothing else will do. The sent is classy, timeless, rouge.
Guest A on Apr 2, 2023
My only fragrance for at least 40 years
Linnea N on Mar 21, 2023
Classic fragrance. It may well become your signature and, if so, one may as well receive the large bottle for home. The travel/purse size are fantastic for their intended purpose as well. Small, everyday indulgence, makes life more enjoyable.

Mother’s Day gift 🎁
Guest I on Apr 30, 2022
More and more men have discovered that No 5 can be worn by men, has a wonderful evolution and drydown. The mid and base notes are common in alot of male fragrances, allowing No 5 to portray more masculine when it mixes with the male body chemistry. It becomes alluring, sexy, long lasting, and not feminine. Trust me, a new trend has begun. It's even more long lasting when applied over the No 5 body creme on the same pulse points you apply it to...just don't over-apply!! Long live Gabrielle Coco!!
Scott S on Apr 27, 2022
Love this particular scent..makes me happy
Guest V on Apr 10, 2022
I think Chanel N•5 eau de parfum smells amazing! Can’t get enough. My husband loves it on me too. It’s very long lasting and is a timeless classic. Sexy, soft, feminine and powdery. When you wear it you feel powerful!! I am a woman in my fourties’. When I was a little girl I didn’t care for the smell of this perfum. If you haven’t smelled it ever, or in a long time, try it again. You may find a new favorite!!
RICH H on Jan 30, 2022

Guest C on Oct 3, 2021
I LOVE Chanel 5 perfume spray. It’s been my go to for many years. It’s classic just like me. Most stores do not sell the 6.8 oz size and in the past I’ve purchased it in the duty free store at the airport. So happy to happen on this site!
Guest A on Sep 26, 2021
According to my precious husband of over 40 years, on me, nothing compares to No5's subtle, alluring fragrance. Therefore, nothing else will do!
