The History Behind Chanel No. 5 (VIDEO)
We all love perfume bottles and essences, right?
Well, Chanel shot this video about the history of one of the most historical and famous senses in the fashion world.
It’s amazing to see the story behind this perfume through the eyes of the Chanel House itself! Did you know that its creation is believed to be a lab accident? I say, that was one great mistake.
But this is a very unique scent and though everyone aknowledges it, not everyone would actually wear it. So, let’s discuss! What types of perfume dou you love?
What scent do you have on now? I’m wearing the Galliano, slightly spicy yet very flowery with a touch of powder.
Xoxo, Tiffany

Coming from the frangrance family of amber, woody, leather and olfactory notes of sichun pepper, patchouli, sandalwood, and St Thomas bay. Born of the age-old mastery of haute parfumerie, this enduring and emotional fragrance created by Amouage creative director Christopher Chong was inspired by the power of erasing, destroying and re-inventing unwanted and painful memories. “Personal memories are an eclectic and fragmented journey of our lives. They are a source of profound knowledge in the form of diaries and memoirs deep within the recesses of one’s mind,” says Chong.
The re-formulated amber tone is perfected with the use of periploca which give the perfume a almond-like undertone. Frankincense and sichuan pepper were added for intensity. The base radiates with the a golden warmth of ambranum, rounded off with fragments od woody, leather and cistus notes. The perfume cost around $430 for 100ml bottle. www.amouage.com
