Description
CHANEL N°5 Eau de Parfum Mini Twist and Spray Refill offers a convenient way to experience the iconic fragrance. This scent opens with a bright, effervescent burst of aldehydes, softened by the sweet floralcy of ylang-ylang and neroli, alongside a touch of bergamot and peach. As it settles, a rich floral heart emerges, showcasing the timeless elegance of May rose and jasmine, complemented by iris and lily-of-the-valley. The dry down is a warm, sensual embrace of sandalwood, oakmoss, and a creamy bourbon vanilla, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, leaving a sophisticated and enduring trail. This interpretation of N°5 is known for its fuller, more voluminous character. Perfumer: Jacques Polge
