Chanel Chanel No 5 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024, created by Olivier Polge.

About

A radiant symphony opens with bright aldehydic sparkle, zesty lemon, and soft neroli, quickly softened by creamy ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a luxurious bouquet of powdery iris, orris, and delicate rose, intertwined with fresh lily of the valley. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, rich sandalwood, and animalic civet, with hints of warm amber and vanilla, for a clean yet sensual finish.
