Excellent...time for another sniff of the 5.
Really worth checking out. Very nice videos and images from throughout the history of Chanel. Available in quite a few languages, too.

Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
Very nice videos, they make you want to buy everything.
We want a niche forum.
Oh great! Thanks Redneck!
I know - that was my first reaction - time to break out the no.5! I haven't yet - still in shock from the lovely samples a friend sent me.
You're most welcome, hednic!
Yes - absolutely. It's not like I need a quilted purse, but I'm about ready to see if my wife wants one. Hopefully I'll get over that VERY SOON!
Actually, I thought the astronomy-inspired diamonds in the old newsreel are *still* fabulous. Coco really had it.
I was truly hoping you'd enjoy this, cello!![]()

Thanks Red. That's a great clip. Don't understand why the video had not been released until now because I think MM's " I wear Chanel No. 5 to bed" is iconic. Nuff said![]()
I love the number 5. Thanks for the link. Love it in different languages, I can show my mom.
You're most welcome!
I'll be honest - and keep this to ourselves, fellow Chanelophiles. I just realized that the 100-year anniversary of no.5 will be in roughly 7 years. Do not think for a moment that there won't be a momentous build-up. It would not surprise me one bit if they have even bigger and better stuff in the works.
BTW - oddball fact I just picked up on Wikipedia - Chanel donated an original formula bottle of no.5 to the Osmothèque, via Jacques Polge!
You're very welcome, and welcome to Basenotes, Jenny!
I'm a huge fan of no.5 Eau Première - I think that's actually just as remarkable as no.5, and a truly worthy addition to the line. Jacques Polge is brilliant, but the fact that they now have on board Olivier Polge - I have to say it in French - fantastique et merveilleux!
Great article here. Nice quotes from Polge, too!
