Since 1921, the N ° 5 illustrates chic, femininity, transmission. It has been declined in Extract, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum and Eau Première. Olivier Polge, creator of the Chanel fragrances, signs this fifth interpretation with astounding accuracy. He decorates the composition, removes certain inflections, amplifies others.
It favors aldehydes with orange-bark accents to give up the most metallic, vibrates citrus fruits and green ylang-ylang, gives nervousness to the woods, puts jasmine in levitation and coats all with sweet musks. The composition lightened, refreshed, gained transparency and modernity. Beautiful lesson of purity.

This glass bottle embedded in a stirrup was first created in 1930 for the inauguration of the first Hermes store in New York, where two hundred copies were offered to journalists and guests. Thought by Emile Hermès, the object was already of a visionary sobriety for the time.
Redrawn for this new fragrance, enhanced by a link reminiscent of the stirrup, it shelters a semi-animal fragrance half-floral, it also in motion. Leather and rose are always echoing. This fragrance orchestrated by Christine Nagel, perfuming creator of the house, is a vibrant manifesto of a free and indocile femininity.

Christian Louboutin's Trouble in Heaven, Kenzo's World of Kenzo, Marc Jacobs's Decadence, The Woman of Prada, Louis Vuitton's Perfumes N ° 5, L'Eau de Chanel, My Paris by Yves Saint Laurent Givenchy Divine Dahlia's Perfume Nectar, This Is Her! of Zadig & Voltaire.
Bold, this new fragrance born under the impulse of Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, artistic directors of Kenzo since 2011, has to resell. Its eyeglass bottle mixing gum, glass and pink gold loving look. Its fragrance, an amber floral signed Francis Kurkdjian, offers a second surprise.
In this fantasy bouquet, a dazzling peony throne, escorted by a jasmine of Egypt with facets of red fruits and by the sensual and disturbing ambroxan. Finally, in Spike Jonze's spot, the unrestrained dance of Margaret Qualley - daughter of Andie MacDowell - shakes up the usual scenarios and ignites the Web. A singularity that makes its charm.

Louis Vuitton Perfume, Hermes Gallo, Prada Woman, No. 5 Chanel Eau, Kenzo World of Kenzo, Yves Saint Laurent's Paris, Coach of Coach, This Is Her! of Zadig & Voltaire, Eau de Rhubarbe Scarlet of Hermes, Poison Girl of Dior.
A black flask opaque like a tuxedo, a label in red silk evoking haute couture, a powerful trail: this masculine scent has everything to please. The scent, composed by Jean Jacques, first attracts thanks to the freshness of bergamot and citrus fruits, then blossoms on a heart loaded with hot spices - saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg - before printing on the skin his sensual footprint.
The smells of the sandalwood and the sweet and sweet vanilla are part of the addiction. Fresh, spicy, woody and powdered, this fragrance combines charisma, presence and magnetism. And the women want to seize it.
Men's Best Perfume Award Finalists
The Man of Prada, The Flight of Cartier, This is Him! Zadig & Voltaire, Mr. Burberry of Burberry, Colonia Quercia of Acqua di Parma, Blackpepper of Comme des Garcons, Gentlemen Only Absolute of Givenchy, Francis Kurkdjian's House of the Night, Tom Ford's Incense Green, Basil & Neroli of Jo Malone.
Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, master perfumer of Louis Vuitton, has developed a range of exceptional raw materials. He devised a tailor-made infusion to extract the quintessence of the natural leather smell of the house and diverted the supercritical CO2 extraction, previously reserved for vanilla, to transcribe the true freshness of rose and jasmine of Grasse, as felt in the open field.
Hence these seven travel scents: Rose of the Winds, In the Skin, Apogee, Thousand Lights, Dark Matter, Turbulences, and Against Me. So many olfactory biases that delight us in the same purified bottle, elaborated by the designer Marc Newson.
Taken in the casual rock style of the brand, infused with the sandalwood cherished by the founder Thierry Gillier, this perfume mixes unpredictable chords. To express an elegant manhood, Nathalie Lorson and Aurélien Guichard bet on an illuminated incense of grapefruit, as well as on sweet notes like milky sandalwood and vanilla.
The fragrance ultra-attachante dresses a fractured black bottle to fit in its alter ego feminine all white and make one. Alchemy.
