Jacques Polge

"N°5 Eau de Parfum is the 1986 Eau de Parfum interpretation of Chanel's iconic N°5 fragrance identity. It presents a radiant floral-aldehydic profile built around aldehydes, ylang-ylang, neroli, and bergamot. The heart develops through iris, jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley, giving the composition a broad and highly recognizable floral character. Sandalwood, vanilla, oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli create a smooth, powdery, woody foundation. Compared with the original parfum, the Eau de Parfum is commonly characterized as more expansive and floral while retaining the essential N°5 signature. Its overall effect is elegant, feminine, abstract, and unmistakably Chanel."

Reviews Summary

“N°5 Eau de Parfum is widely regarded as an iconic, feminine, and abstract interpretation of the classic N°5 DNA. Its signature impression centers on aldehydes over a floral heart of rose, jasmine, and iris, followed by a smooth vanilla-wood base. It is often described as more voluminous and floral than the original parfum while remaining unmistakably recognizable.”
