Chanel No. 5

Chanel No. 5

By 1929, Chanel No. 5 was the world's best-selling fragrance. Over the decades, brushes with celebrity have only enhanced its reputation. Marilyn Monroe, who was never paid to endorse the brand, naughtily quipped that all she wore to bed was a few drops of Chanel No. 5. Rumor has it that Marlon Brando did the same. But what makes the scent work isn't celebrity. It's something more simple. Chanel No. 5 is fabulous -a fizzy, effervescent slice of modernist art that bounces off the skin. As competitors in the industry have found, it's irreproducible -so perfect that a $400-an-ounce price tag almost feels like a steal.
