In-Depth Summary:
Gabrielle Chanel and perfumer Ernest Beaux introduced Chanel No. 5 in 1921. The parfum opens with aldehydes, ylang-ylang and neroli, moves through jasmine, May rose, iris and lily of the valley, and settles into sandalwood, vetiver, musk, vanilla, civet and oakmoss. Chanel first created demand by scenting her fitting rooms and sharing bottles with favored clients before wider sale.
This offering is the Chanel No. 5 Perfume shown, 1/2 fl. oz, 50% full, containing the original formulation.
