An abstract, mysterious scent alive with countless subtle facets that radiate an extravagant floral richness. What it is: An abstract, mysterious scent alive with countless subtle facets that radiate an extravagant floral richness.Fragrance story: In 1986, Jacques Polge reinterpreted his predecessor Ernest Beaux's composition to create a fuller, more voluminous version of the now and forever woman's fragrance—the eau de parfum. With its unprecedented use of aldehydes, which add layers of complexity, N°5 was the world's first abstract fragrance. The eau de parfum draws inspiration from the parfum, from which it shares its floral aldehyde signature. This floral bouquet composed around May rose and jasmine features bright citrus top notes. Aldehydes create a unique presence while the smooth touch of bourbon vanilla leaves an incredibly sensual trail.Notes: May rose, jasmine, citrus, aldehydes, bourbon vanilla.
