Nº 5 Deo Spray 100ml
Chanel Nº 5 Deo Spray 100ml puts the most famous perfume in the world to work as ordinary daily grooming, which is a stranger idea than it sounds. Two materials are recorded for it, rose and jasmine, and that is honest enough, since those two flowers are the centre of N°5 and always have been. Rose here is clean and full rather than jammy, and jasmine warms it from underneath with a creamy richness. Together they are among the most recognisable pairings in perfumery, and even at this strength and in this format they are unmistakable. Two materials means there is no development to describe and no point pretending otherwise. What you spray is what you get, a soft floral cleanliness, and it stays where you put it.
As a deodorant its first job is freshness through the day, and it does that. It is not a fragrance and it will not behave like one, so expect it to stay within your own clothes and to fade rather than unfold. If you want N°5 to register on anybody else, wear the eau de toilette or the parfum and keep this underneath it. Women are the market, it suits any season, and it is a tidy way to keep a favourite scent in the background of a working day. The 100ml can lasts a long time in normal use, and for an existing wearer of the perfume it is the obvious thing to keep in a bathroom cabinet, since the two will never clash. Anybody new to N°5 should buy the fragrance first and come back to this afterwards.
The house behind it was founded by Gabrielle Chanel, who opened a Paris hat shop at 21 rue Cambon in 1910. Her first perfume, the one this product is named after, appeared in 1921, and the perfume and cosmetics company itself was established three years later.
