About the Perfume

Chanel No 5 is one of the most famous perfumes in history; a bold aldehydic opening over a bouquet of ylang-ylang, neroli and citrus, a floral heart of iris, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley, and a warm base of civet, musk, sandalwood, amber, moss, vanilla, vetiver and patchouli.
