Chanel No5: Story of a Perfume

A stunning two-book set, presented in a deluxe box that celebrates the most beloved fragrance in the world: Chanel No5

Arguably the most famous perfume in the world—most memorably endorsed by Marilyn Monroe—Chanel No5 continues to fascinate and claim millions of devotees around the world. Created in 1921 by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, the perfume was one of the first to use synthetics. To complement her pioneering fashion, Chanel wanted to give the modern woman “a perfume, but an artificial perfume . . . not rose or lily of the valley . . . a perfume that is compound,” presented in a distinctively pared-back glass bottle that would become an icon in its own right.
