CHANEL N°5 Parfum Grand Extrait Baccarat Edition presents the iconic fragrance in its most concentrated and luxurious form, housed in a magnificent Baccarat crystal flacon. This special edition, launched in 2021 to commemorate 100 years of N°5, opens with the bright, effervescent sparkle of aldehydes, intertwined with the delicate freshness of ylang-ylang, neroli, bergamot, and lemon. As it develops, a rich floral heart emerges, showcasing the timeless elegance of May rose, Grasse jasmine, and iris, creating a powdery and sophisticated bouquet. The dry down settles into a warm, sensual embrace of civet, amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk, leaving a lasting, opulent trail that is both complex and deeply comforting. This is N°5 at its most profound, a true collector's piece that embodies the pinnacle of haute perfumery. Perfumer: Jacques Polge

About CHANEL
Chanel is a legendary French luxury house founded by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in 1910, renowned for its timeless elegance, modern sophistication, and artistic innovation. In perfumery, Chanel revolutionized fragrance with the creation of Chanel No. 5 in 1921, a masterpiece of abstraction that redefined modern scent. Today, under Olivier Polge, the brand continues to craft refined, iconic perfumes that embody effortless Parisian chic—balancing tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary allure.
Jacques Polge is a French perfumer best known as the longtime head perfumer of Chanel, a role he held from 1978 to 2015. Trained in Grasse under Jean Carles after university studies in English and literature, he began his career at Roure Bertrand Dupont before shaping Chanel’s modern olfactory identity. He authored many of the house’s most influential fragrances, including Coco, Égoïste, Allure, Coco Mademoiselle, Chance, Bleu de Chanel, and several Les Exclusifs de Chanel compositions, and later passed the mantle at Chanel to his son, perfumer Olivier Polge.
