N°5 L’Eau: Combines Tradition and Innovation

N°5 L’Eau by Chanel
Floral Aldehyde
Olivier Polge

N°5 L’Eau is a flanker of the iconic Chanel N°5 that Marylin Monroe wore to bed. L’Eau represents a way of bringing the original N°5 to a younger crowd.

There are still aldehydes but the scent is accompanied by a lot of citrus notes like lemon, neroli, mandarin orange, orange, bergamot and lime. One would expect a burst of citrus – sharp, fresh, in your face but it is not like that. It is a beautiful delicate craft combined with traditional florals like ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose. It is all balanced with white musk and orris root.

L’Eau is an elegance in a bottle yet young and carefree. Also, works great as a bedtime scent.
