Ernest Beaux

"N°5 Eau de Toilette is a classic floral-aldehydic fragrance created by Ernest Beaux. Its opening combines sparkling aldehydes with ylang-ylang, neroli, citrus, and bergamot for a bright, radiant effect. The heart develops through iris, jasmine, rose, orris root, and lily-of-the-valley. A powdery, woody base of musk, sandalwood, oak moss, vetiver, amber, vanilla, patchouli, and civet gives the composition depth and a distinctive vintage elegance. The broader N°5 fragrance line was introduced in 1921, while this Eau de Toilette concentration is associated with a later 1924 release. It remains an emblematic expression of Chanel's polished, formal, and highly recognizable floral style."
