Coco Chanel is a name known to everyone. Millions use her perfume, and her style has turned and transformed the fashion of that time. Undoubtedly, Madame Coco can be considered one of the most important figures in the world of fashion of the twentieth century. The impeccable taste and sense of harmony allowed her to create a classic fragrance with the help of Ernest Bo, which has not lost its popularity today.
Chanel perfume has not so many different aromas in the collection, but each of them is a work of art, which began in 1922. The creation of the first became sensational, and the popularity is so great that after 4 years, Madame Coco was able to release her line of cosmetics. It's no secret that the first flavor of the series was Chanel No. 5, which was developed by a specialist in his field, Ernest Bo.
At that time, most of the aromas were easily recognizable; they were used by the entire aristocracy in very large quantities. It was the amount of perfume that had to be used to keep the aroma for a long time that Chanel did not like most. Perfumes, which were developed under her supervision, had no analogues, in them not a single nose could distinguish the fundamental components. And all because the new fragrance was not like anything natural and used before.
The famous “Five” contained 10% aldehydes, and not 1% familiar to all perfumers, which was the first difference that distinguished Chanel's aroma. Spirits possessed high stamina and embodied all the complexity and mystery of the modern French woman at that time. Despite the fact that many years have passed since the creation of the famous Chanel No. 5, perfumes have not lost their popularity and are quite suitable for the image of a modern lady of the 21st century.
Ernest Bo previously worked at the court of the Russian tsars, which apparently was reflected in his creations. Chanel perfume became more diverse thanks to Cuir de Russie (which means “Russian skin”) - perfumes with Russian notes, released just a few years after Chanel No. 5. It became the first fragrance combining notes of tobacco and leather, "laid out" on a delicate floral substrate, which was previously unprecedented for a women's perfume.
The flavors of Coco Chanel quickly gained popularity. In 1925, the royal bouquet “Gardenia” was released, combining floral notes of gardenia, which were reproduced using various components that are different in nature from the flower itself. It consists of sandalwood, jasmine, patchouli, blooming orange, as well as a tree and tuberose. In the 80s of the last century, the fragrance was reprinted and equated with eau de toilette.
The “island forest” better known as Bois des Illes is another fragrance from the Chanel line. Perfumes like the previous representative of the collection were recreated at the end of the twentieth century. A walk through the autumn forest is embodied in the Aroma; its owner is first-hand acquainted with the cold of the forest, turning into heat emitted by firewood that burns brightly in the fireplace.
Madame Coco did not stop at the numbering of aromas and chose another one from the collection of Bo. He was given number 22. Perhaps the greatness of the Five was still very great when the next fragrance was released by Chanel. Chanel perfume No. 22 did not gain such great popularity. Next was No. 19 (author - Henri Robert), which was known as "bitchy." It is ideal for independent women as a No. 5 daily replacement. Another representative of the numbered elite - Chanel No. 18 (1997) - a floral fragrance that exudes the brilliance of a pure diamond.
After the death of Coco Chanel were released: chypre Cristalle (1974, Coco (1984), Coco Mademoiselle (2001), Allure (1996), Une Fleur de Chanel (1998) and several others. The flavors of Coco Chanel are few in number, each one is created with special scrupulousness, carefully preserving long-standing traditions. Chanel perfumes express not only a desire to stand out among the crowd, but also to match the style of a fashionable, modern and independent woman. The plume of the fragrance exuded by their owner is so mysterious and heady that it attracts the attention of men and causes envy among potential rivals.
