CHANEL N°5 Eau de Parfum Twist and Spray Refill offers a convenient way to carry and refresh the iconic fragrance throughout the day. This floral aldehyde composition, reinterpreted by Jacques Polge, draws inspiration from the original Parfum, presenting a fuller and rounder expression. It opens with bright citrus notes and a significant aldehydic presence, leading into a heart built around May rose and jasmine. The fragrance settles into a sensual and smooth trail, characterized by the creamy touch of bourbon vanilla. This iteration maintains the timeless elegance and sophisticated character N°5 is renowned for.
