CHANEL N° 5 Day

CHANEL N° 5 Day

CHANEL N°5

May 5, 2009 has been designated by the city of New York as CHANEL N°5 Day in celebration of the iconic fragrance and the unveiling of its latest campaign featuring acclaimed actress Audrey Tautou. CHANEL and Saks Fifth Avenue have partnered for this significant occasion during which a portion of Fifth Avenue is being renamed AVENUE N°5 for the week of May 2 through May 10.

Designed to reflect Coco Chanel’s very modern fashion philosophy, CHANEL N° 5 is a rich modern floral blend of Grasse Jasmine, May Rose, Neroli, Bourbon Vanilla and Ylang-Ylang with gentle precious woods. The world’s most famous fragrance made its debut in 1921 after Coco Chanel asked the great perfumer, Ernest Beaux, to create a fragrance that “smells like women” and was unlike any other fragrance. N°5 was her lucky number and it was the fifth submission presented to Mademoiselle Chanel on the fifth day of the fifth month of the year.

Celebrate CHANEL N° 5 Day with this new mini movie staring actress Audrey Tautou. Take a break from your day with the kids and watch Train de Nuit. Feel the romance of CHANEL N° 5 for yourself! I promise, you’ll be greeting your man at the door with a romantic kiss tonight when he gets home!
