The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1995 by Chanel, N°5 Voile Parfumé is a reimagining of the iconic original, offering a lighter yet no less impactful experience. The fragrance opens with aldehydes and bright citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, creating an immediate freshness that feels both classic and modern. This initial burst gives way to a heart of lily of the valley, may rose, jasmine, and iris, where floral elegance is paramount. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver, and amber adds warmth and depth, ensuring N°5 Voile Parfumé remains unmistakably Chanel while offering a softer, more wearable scent.
Apply N°5 Voile Parfumé to pulse points for a moderate sillage that lasts throughout the day. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, so reapply if you want the floral heart to take center stage longer.
