Chanel No. 5
It remains the most popular and somewhat aspirational to own. Chanel No. 5, a floral bouquet composed around May Rose and Jasmine features bright citrus top notes. The aldehydes create a unique presence in the fragrance while the smooth touch of Bourbon Vanilla gives it its sensual trail.
While it has hugely been popular since its market debut back in 1921, the glamour of Chanel No. 5 grew by leaps and bounds when Marilyn Monroe endorsed it during a 1954 interview, when she was asked what she wore to bed, she had provocatively replied, “Just a few drops of Chanel No. 5.”
