Chanel No 5 L'Eau Red Edition by Chanel was launched in 2018 and was created by perfumer Olivier Polge. This fragrance captures the essence of the iconic Chanel No. 5 but with a fresh, modern twist. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes like lemon and bergamot, interwoven with aldehydes that give it an unmistakable freshness. As it evolves, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and may rose add a delicate floral touch, while orris and vanilla bring warmth and depth. The woody and powdery base notes of cedar and white musk ground the fragrance, making it both lasting and contemporary.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points — the scent builds on skin over time. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so reapply if you want it to last through a long day or evening.
