N°5 Eau Première

By Jacques Polge

"Chanel N°5 Eau Première is a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic fragrance, blending fresh, floral, and powdery notes. The fusion of aldehydes, neroli, and ylang-ylang creates a bright and uplifting scent, while jasmine and May rose add depth. The base of bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, and vetiver rounds out this elegant and timeless composition."
