Chanel No. 5
Chanel No. 5 is a Chanel fragrance of 1921, by Ernest Beaux.
Trademark Chanel No. 5 is a trademark of its owner. HombreOils is not affiliated with it and describes it for history and education only.
The house, the year, the perfumer and the family are the Osmothèque’s, with a second source named where one agrees or disagrees; it classes it Floral / Aldéhydé. This record keeps to documented facts: the year, the house, the perfumer and the family, each with its source; no composition is given beyond what a filed source names, and never a formula.
