CHANEL NO5 CELEBRATES THE BIG 100

‘A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future,’ said Coco Chanel, who along with French perfumer Ernest Beaux created the game-changing fragrance Chanel No5 in 1921. No doubt she’d delight at the idea of us all spritzing her now-iconic olfactory creation, while bedecking ourselves in the brand’s latest fine jewellery collection, launched to celebrate 100 years of the sensational scent. Tracing the outline of perfume droplets and Mademoiselle Chanel’s lucky number 5 in diamonds and white gold, the collection is chic, timeless… and best worn with little other than a splash or two of No5.
