Coco Chanel Introduces Chanel No. 5
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Chanel No. 5 is the first fragrance from Parisian couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, and the first perfume to heavily rely on synthetic floral aldehydes as a top note. Its name supposedly derives from the fact that multiple perfume samples, labeled No. 1, No. 2, etc., were mixed for Coco's approval, and it was bottle No. 5 that met with her liking. What artist sealed Chanel No. 5's status as a cultural icon when he made 9 silkscreens of the perfume?
