The birth of Chanel #5 came about in the year 1921. Coco Chanel wanted something that said I am woman that was soft and feminine.
She asked the then famous perfumer Ernest Beaux to create something that would say this. When he was finished he presented Coco Chanel with several bottles of scents and she chose bottle #5. The number five was Coco Chanel's lucky number and it was presented to the world on the fifth day of the fifth month. (5/5) Hence the name Chanel #5.
The bottle is now the classic square glass bottle with the square top. She believed that for a woman less was more and was she ever right.
The perfume is a mixture of several kinds of flowers. The May Rose, Jasmine, and Mong Mong. The scent is strong yet so very subtle.
While wearing this fragrance you feel so very sexy and feminine. Your spouse will absolutely love this on you. I know mine does.
It went so far at one job that I worked for that I was asked by the manager to quit wearing it to work because she was tired of all the interuptions by people asking all the other employees what the fragrance was that I was wearing.
Also on that particular job I have had men come up and sniff my neck when I was turned away trying to do something else. You don't know what a shock it is to turn around and find a strange person standing in your space trying to sniff your cologne. I am not young or a complete knock out in the looks department.
Everyone needs a signature fragrance and this one is mine. I just absolutely love the scent of it and how it makes me feel. I have even used it on days that I don't feel good just to lift my spirits.
Fellows if you really want to surprise your Lady then give her Chanel #5 for that special occasion. You will love it on her and she will love you for it.
