What is the story behind the Chanel N°5?
This perfume was launched in 1921 . Created by the perfumer Ernest Beaux, he introduced 5 different smells to Coco Chanel to define the smell of the fragrance. He didn’t give each smell any names, only numbers. And guess which one did she picked? Number 5.
Like the 2.55 Coco Chanel is all about numbers and symbols. It was her first perfume, and it this simple name "Numéro 5" was really avant-gardiste as back then perfume use to be called with sophisticated names like "Shalimar".
Chanel marketing strategy was already on point back then! She told her client that this perfume was only for her close friends and not for sale. She use to spray it in the air during events to draw attention! Chanel Numero 5 became even more famous when Marilyn confessed that she is only wearing Chanel n°5 in bed. ✨
