“You hate me, don’t you? Say it. Hate is a very exciting emotion. Haven’t you noticed? I hate you too. I hate you so much I think I am going to die from it. Die...”
Loved by both men and women, Chanel N°5 is a floral-aldehyde perfume launched in 1921. Ernest Beaux is the nose that created this timeless classic.
Chanel N°5 is a big name in perfume with a big price tag to match. For those who love the scent but not the cost, L’Aimant by Coty might be good choice. It’s not a clone of Chanel N°5, but it smells very similar to it when it dries down.
L’Aimant is far less expensive and comes in a cool art deco bottle.
Chanel N°5 commercial "L'invitation au rêve - Le jardin" (1982) directed by Ridley Scott.
Starring Carolina Gramm.
“... with the infamous shadow of an airplane gliding up the Transamerica building in San Francisco, Charles and Catherine share the fantasy of one of the greatest commercials ever made. From the merging master editing which takes the scheme of a French garden to fall on the black and white keys of a piano, then in turn giving way to the straight lines of train tracks and to urban skyscrapers' windows, it uses that wonderful perspective which makes the eye travel deeper and further into the background; prompting us to seek beneath the obvious, beneath the visual restrictions of reality into the unchartered vistas of the imagination and the power of olfaction that makes us dream.” (Source)
