The Story

Launched in 2004, Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that reinterprets the iconic N°5 legacy. The composition opens with neroli, bringing a bright and fresh citrus aroma, which transitions into a heart of ylang-ylang, iris, and jasmine. These florals create an intricate blend of sweetness and warmth before settling into base notes of amber, woods, and musk that provide a grounding, powdery comfort.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance in moderation — two sprays will allow the neroli to brighten up initially before giving way to its deeper floral and woody notes. It has moderate longevity, so reapply if you want it to persist throughout the day.
