If you think of an iconic scent, what comes to your mind? Chances are your response is Chanel, or more specifically, Chanel No. 5. One of the most famous fragrances in the world — and the first one ever created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, in 1921 — this scent became a symbol of sophistication and power, a timeless piece that slowly grew to become an olfactory family within Chanel’s portfolio.
In 2016, No. 5 L’Eau was introduced, a lighter, less concentrated, and fresher version of the iconic perfume. That now, for the first time in the history of the House, is leaving its classic bottle behind to make room for a modern take, as Chanel introduces the limited-edition Chanel No. 5 L’Eau Drop.
Shaped like a pebble, the bottle is a collector’s piece, designed to anchor the sensation of a natural life force, “a balancing act that cannot stand alone, like a semicolon interposed between us,” the Maison explains. A dream add-on to your summer beauty bag.
