N°5 L’EAU is the N°5 of today. A vibrant abstract floral under the banner of modernity, with freshness as its leitmotif. N°5 L’EAU, in praise of simplicity. N°5 L’EAU, the obvious choice, right down to its minimalist packaging. As if the supreme simplicity of the bottle further accentuated the contents, giving free rein to the imagination of the woman who chooses this fragrance for her skin.

Less abstract than its forebears, the composition of N°5 L’EAU radiates citrus like sun-drenched honey. Top notes of lemon, mandarin and orange soar skyward with the aldehydes. Like a second wind, you can hear the rustle of flowers. Rose melds with airy jasmine and a new fraction of ylang-ylang, more modern than ever. Behind this floral whirlwind, vetiver and cedar impart a novel dynamism, softened by white musk notes. Never has N°5 been so natural. So fresh.

Today Olivier Polge, Perfumer for the House of CHANEL, has reinvented N°5, demonstrating the extent to which its structure is flawless and inspiring. With the subtle touch of a goldsmith, he dissected the original formula and took hold of each ingredient to understand its true role. Olivier Polge and the Creation Laboratory strove to create a new balance and an ideal dose of freshness, capturing in turn the essence of his generation.
