COCO NOIR is presented in a striking, black glass version of the iconic Classic Bottle. Designed in 1921, The Classic Bottle is noteworthy for its simplicity and modernity. The chiseled stopper reflects the geometry of Place Vendôme, which Gabrielle Chanel could view from her room at the Ritz in Paris.
Since then, Chanel has practiced the art of baudruchage to seal bottles of Parfum. Carried out by hand, it consists of covering the neck of the bottle with a fine membrane, which is held in place by a strand of pearl-cotton thread, then sealed with a black wax stamp.
Composition
A voluptuous and enveloping luminous Oriental scent with a noble accord of Egyptian Jasmine and May Rose that adds depth and sensuality. The trail unfurls with magnetic notes of Indonesian Patchouli and Venezuelan Tonka Bean, along with the more pronounced notes of Bourbon Vanilla and White Musk.
Art of Perfuming
Gabrielle Chanel's advice was to apply Parfum #double;wherever you want to be kissed.#double; Neck, wrist, décolleté… Dab a drop on your pulse points, wherever you can feel a heart beat
Among the luxurious designer labels, Chanel is one of the most sought-after household names within the high-fashion market. The brand shares its name with the French fashion designer and brand's founder, Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel. It was in 1913 when Coco Chanel opened the doors to her Paris shop for the first time. Arguably one of the most successful ventures during the fashion pioneer's era was the debut of her perfumes in 1921. Chanel released its now-legendary Chanel No 5. which forever changed the fragrance world. The No 5. perfume's uniquely 'abstract' construction combined swirling floral scents of jasmine, lilac, and rose with a generous helping of aldehydes. The fragrance overturned the codes of perfumery with its sparkling champagne-like formula encapsulated within a refined bottle. Today, the entire line of Chanel fragrances shares the same class and elegance of its predecessors.
