Chanel No. 5, Chanel, Eau de Parfum Release Date: 1986 (Eau de Parfum interpretation of the original 1921 fragrance)Key Notes: Aldehydes, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Rose, Iris, Sandalwood, Vanilla, VetiverScent Profile: Aldehydic floral with powdery woods and soft vanilla Description:Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum is a richer, more sensual interpretation of the original fragrance created in 1921 by Ernest Beaux for Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. Reworked into EDP form in 1986 by Jacques Polge, this version preserves the iconic aldehydic sparkle while deepening the floral heart of jasmine and rose, sourced from Grasse. Powdery iris and creamy sandalwood bring elegance and structure, while vanilla and vetiver add warmth and softness to the drydown. Long regarded as the blueprint for modern perfumery, No. 5 redefined what fragrance could be — abstract, confident and unmistakably feminine. The Eau de Parfum offers a more rounded, intimate expression of this legacy, balancing timeless sophistication with enduring sensuality. Please note, when ordering a decant size, you will receive the original fragrance in a glass vial atomizer, not the bottle pictured above.
