The latest luxurious iteration of the world's most famous perfume looks straight out of a fairy tale.
There are two things many people want for the holidays: A white Christmas and Chanel under the tree. The storied maison is making both of those wishes come true with their new limited-edition version of Chanel N°5 Eau de Parfum that seems like it was plucked out of a fairy tale—or a snow globe.
The latest version of Chanel N°5 Eau de Parfum comes in a collector's edition bottle that is lightly dusted with hints of snow, giving it a textural finish. “As a tribute to the couturière Gabrielle Chanel, the shoulders of the iconic bottle are adorned with delicate silk,” says Sylvie Legastelois, Head of Packaging ⁘ Graphic design creation at Chanel. “This silk gives the bottle a frosty appearance.”
The craftsmanship of the bottle is a technical and artisanal feat, particularly the textural elements of the snow. “The natural silk leaves are cut one by one and placed by hand on each part of the bottle in one or several layers to create a subtle gradient,” Legastelois says. “This meticulous work makes each bottle unique and precious. The greatest challenge was the time required to develop this innovative process, finding the right balance of silk proportions, the time needed for the application while ensuring the quality and durability of this garment.”
“The N°5 perfume is the backbone of our house,” Legastelois says. “It alone embodies all the values of Chanel. Since 1921, the year of its creation, ahead of its time, it has never ceased to surprise us.” But it'll make the perfect surprise for someone this holiday season.
