Connoisseurs of exquisite fragrances do not even assume that the eternal classic - the perfume "Coco Chanel No. 5" - owes its origin to a man who at one time was associated with the Russian Empire. The fact is that perfumer Ernest Bo was the son of a man who served at the Russian court. The enterprising Coco at the beginning of the last century communicated with many famous people, including Prince Dmitry Romanov, who introduced her to the perfume genius.
The perfume "Coco Chanel No. 5" was created by Ernest under the impressions of visiting the territories in the Arctic Circle, where he forever remembered the unique aroma of freshness and tried to recreate it in perfume. I must say that number five is a very complex scent that starts with bitter orange tree (neroli), bergamot, lemon and ylang ylang. It is complemented by a whole bunch of synthetic aldehyde compounds. In the middle of the fragrance there is lily of the valley, May rose and Grasse jasmine. The trail is complemented by vanilla, sandalwood and vetiver.
Perfume "Coco Chanel No. 5" is the first smell of the abstract plan. They clearly do not smell of any flower, and this was the breakthrough in the perfumery of thattime. A distinctive feature of the company's products is that elegant women's fragrances are almost always enclosed in bottles of a strict geometric shape. The creator of the company herself, who loved minimalism, insisted on this.
Coco perfumes are also produced in a limited volume. Chanel, according to Jacques Polge, tried oriental aromas of spices, amber, within the Western world, which brought her new success. Based on mandarin, peach, orange blossom and mimosa, this perfume trail is built, which in the middle carries carnation, rose, mimosa and clover. And all this splendor is replenished with sandalwood, vanilla and amber. Such an addition fits the image of a strong woman, which was Coco.
