Is Chanel N5 really the best perfume of all time. A review from Sunday21.

The Chanel N5 is definitely the best perfume at any time in history. Let's get caught up in its historic origins for a moment. And this story is quite a curious one. Its creator was Ernest Bo, at the very beginning of the XX century, his father was a perfumer at the Imperial Palace, and Ernest himself trained in this craft in France. He worked at the Rallet factory and by 1912 had already delighted the world with Bouquet de Napoleon cologne, he was a huge fan of Napoleon. The popular cologne continued with the perfume Bouquet de Catherine, which was created for Catherine II. And again there was success. Then there was World War I, and after it he decided to leave his homeland to live in France near Cannes. His former colleagues already worked in the Chitis perfume house and it was then that during the Great Depression natural flavourings were no longer used and most of the substances were removed by artificial methods.

History of the birth of ingenious perfumes Chanel N5.

Ernest Bo decided to try the fragrances with aldehydes. He wanted to create a unique fragrance that would have no natural shades, on the contrary, they would contradict them. Then by chance Ernest meets Coco Chanel, who was a fashion designer in the beginning. He quickly falls in love with her and together with her produces a real perfume that will match their tastes and make a big fuss in perfumery. To choose him, the perfumer offered a lot of perfumes, about twenty, which were numbered for Koko, so that she would choose the one. In her day, she chose number 5. That's when the ideal of real women's perfume was created, which can be given to women at absolutely any time. To this day Chanel N5 is one of the best fragrances for gifts for women. What is remarkable is that after these perfumes Ernest did not create more than one perfume that would surpass the fifth number, further his perfumed waters were not so successful.
