Watch this beautifully edited video on the history of the perfume and it's historical context and amazing longevity. My favorite quote from the video is that Chanel No. 5 "Resists the whims of fashion and the passage of time." Enjoy the beautiful graphics, typography and animation. No one really thinks that perfume can change the world, but this little sweet smelling bottle has been doing just that for around for 91 years.
My favorite personally is the softer scent of Chanel No. 5, the Eau Premiere version. I have worn it for almost 3 years now and it's my signature scent. I don't feel like anything else smells better or softer. Perfect for everyday and for a night out.
Purchase Chanel No. 5 ($92.15 at Amazon) or Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere
($115 at Amazon).
