N°5 leaves its legendary bottle behind for the very first time for this limited edition, a reinterpretation of the most iconic drop of perfume in CHANEL history. Experience the unexpected: a minimalistic glass bottle, like a drop of perfume, whose transparent nature conveys purity.

N°5 L’EAU, a scent with a vibrant woody and citrus signature, is the freshest and most contemporary version of N°5, flowing with carefree ease inside a coveted vessel.

A drop of glass that encompasses all the strong, paradoxical emotions evoked by N°5 and felt by the woman who wears it.

COMPOSITION

Less abstract than its forebears, the composition of N°5 L’EAU radiates citrus. Top notes of lemon, mandarin and orange are propelled skywards by aldehydes, followed by a profusion of flowers. Rose melds with airy jasmine and a new fraction of ylang-ylang, more modern than ever. Behind this floral whirlwind, vetiver and cedar impart a dynamism that is novel to N°5, softened by notes of musk. Never has N°5 been so fresh.

INSPIRATION

It was inspired by the bold freedom with which CHANEL In-House Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge reinvented N°5 in 2016, capturing each ingredient in order to understand its true role in the scent and create a newly balanced composition: the ideal dose of freshness, N°5 L’EAU. It also embodies irreverence and freedom. A bottle that defies convention, adopting the elliptical shape of a drop and turning it into a model for design and modernity. It is the essence of its era, representing freshness, simplicity and vitality.

ART OF PERFUMING

To experience the limited-edition N°5 L’EAU is to experience a fragrance that can be worn freely. With no preconceived ideas. Instinctively. Simply. Lavishly. Day. Night. For you. For others.
