About Chanel Perfume

Out of the many different kinds of Chanel perfume available, there is one that stands out from the rest: Chanel N°5. This Chanel perfume is the personification of glamour, and that is certainly evident in the famous commercial for this Chanel perfume featuring Nicole Kidman.

The concept for Chanel N°5 came about after Coco Chanel said, “I want to give women an artificial perfume. Yes, I really do mean artificial, like a dress, something that has been made. I don’t ant any rose or lily of the valley, I want a perfume that is a composition.”

As a result, for the first time, large amounts of synthetic substances and aldehydes were used in a perfume. The reason for this was to provide true sophistication to the fragrance. It is said that the actual fragrance for this Chanel perfume was thought of by Ernest Beaux in 1920.

It was at this time that Beaux had just returned from a military campaign in the Artic Circle. The rivers and lakes there gave off a very special fragrance, and this was the fragrance that was incorporated into this Chanel N°5 perfume. The fragrance has also been described as being mysteriously feminine.

Understandably, this perfume became quite popular and a true part of American Popular culture. This is especially true after Marilyn Monroe gave an interview in which she said that all she wore to bed was Chanel N°5.

Andy Warhol contributed to this popularity of this Chanel perfume when he created several silkscreen prints featuring it. Indeed, the silkscreens actually became a major icon of the 20th century when, in 1959, they became part of New York’s Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection.

If you are interested in purchasing this Chanel perfume, be aware that it comes in a variety of different sizes, ranging from affordable to rather expensive. If you are a really big fan of this perfume, you can also get it as part of a set.

This perfume is available mainly at department stores, although you can also purchase it online through Chanel’s official website.  Chanel perfume makes a perfect gift for anyone who wants a luxurious part of beauty history.
