Description
CHANEL N°5 Eau de Parfum Twist and Spray offers a convenient, travel-friendly way to experience the iconic N°5. This interpretation, a fuller and more voluminous version of the original, opens with a bright burst of citrus and aldehydes, creating a unique and sparkling presence. As it settles, a rich floral bouquet of May rose and jasmine unfolds, lending a timeless elegance. The fragrance then gracefully transitions into a warm, sensual drydown, where the smooth touch of bourbon vanilla intertwines with woody and earthy undertones, leaving a sophisticated and lasting trail. This rendition maintains the legendary character of N°5 while offering a versatile wearing experience. Perfumer: Jacques Polge
