They say you can’t improve on perfection, or in the case of Chanel N°5, a classic. However Chanel has made the attempt with its new Chanel N°5 Eau Première.

While the iconic notes of N°5 remain – neroli, roses, jasmine, ylang ylang, amber, vetiver and sandalwood – the slightly “dusty” overlay of the original perfume have gone leaving N°5 Eau Première with a younger, fresher, more sparkling flavour.

This is not the fragrance associated with your mother or your aunt, it’s more a scent to be worn by your contemporaries, something that fits the ladylike mash-up of Prada’s Spring Summer 2012, 1950s-influenced collection.

If you’ve always wanted to say, “Oh, its N°5,” with nonchalance when asked what scent you wear – just to prove how elegant and European your style is – but couldn’t since you didn’t wear it, now you can.
