Les Fleurs de Chanel No 5

Chanel No 5 was unique in every way. The making of the scent was a breakthrough in the art and science of perfume making, the design of the bottle and the stopper were oh so different, and once again, Coco’s creative mind captured an audience of loyal followers everywhere.

 

“Les Fleurs de Chanel No 5” is a history of the perfume, how the flowers are specially grown and harvested, how the design of the bottle came to be, how World War II played a role in its distribution, and the place Chanel perfumes continue to hold as the top-selling fragrances in the world. There will be a special surprise at the end of the class which will be so ooh la lah!

 

Discover why, in an interview, when Marilyn Monroe was asked, “What do you wear to bed?” she famously replied, “Just a few drops of No 5.”
