About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Launched in 1986, Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum is a fuller-bodied interpretation of the original 1921 classic, with the same floral-aldehyde architecture but a warmer, more persistent base. The opening is a bright, effervescent burst: aldehydes lift ylang-ylang, neroli, bergamot, and a soft peach note into a shimmering haze. As it settles, the heart reveals a bouquet of iris, jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley—cool, powdered, and unmistakably grand. The base anchors everything with sandalwood, oakmoss, vanilla, patchouli, and vetiver, creating a woody, earthy, and slightly sweet foundation that lingers for hours.

This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate vintage-style aldehydic florals with depth and structure. It suits those who prefer a polished, formal signature rather than a casual scent. The EDP is more approachable than the parfum but richer than the EDT, making it a versatile choice for evening wear or cool-weather daytime. If you love powdery iris, mossy woods, and a touch of vanilla, this is a cornerstone of any serious collection.

中文簡介

1986年推出嘅Chanel No.5 Eau de Parfum,係1921年原版嘅濃郁變奏,保留咗標誌性嘅醛香花香結構,但基調更溫暖持久。前調係醛、依蘭、橙花、佛手柑同桃,綻放明亮嘅氣泡感;中調係鳶尾、茉莉、玫瑰同鈴蘭,散發冷艷粉質嘅經典花香;基調以檀香、橡苔、雲呢拿、廣藿香同香根草收結,木質、泥土感中帶微甜,留香可達數小時。

呢支香水適合鍾情復古醛香花香、追求深度同層次嘅收藏家。氣質優雅正式,適合晚宴、冷天日間或需要氣場嘅場合。相比香精版更易親近,又比淡香水版更豐潤,係收藏中不可或缺嘅經典。
