Chanel Chanel No 5 Red Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Jacques Polge. Chanel No 5 Red Edition opens with Bergamot, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Chanel's Chanel No 5 Red Edition carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Chanel No 5 Red Edition is pure old-school glamour in a bottle, and the red flacon? Seriously collectable. It's Chanel No 5 as you know and love it, just a touch softer and perhaps even more elegant.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

This is a rich floral aldehyde that opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of aldehydes and a hint of bright neroli, immediately announcing its classic Chanel DNA. As it settles, a luxurious bouquet of rose and jasmine blooms, softened by the powdery caress of iris. The dry down is a warm, woody embrace of sandalwood and vanilla, with earthy vetiver and patchouli adding depth and longevity. It's a sophisticated scent that feels both timeless and comforting.
