Ernest Beaux created Chanel No. 5 for Coco Chanel in 1921. It was an instant success and today remains the best selling perfume in the world (a bottle is sold every 30 seconds). The perfume contained synthetics, which was a dramatic change from the floral fragrances of the day. It has a floral top note of ylang-ylang and neroli, with a heart of blends of jasmine and rose all above a woody base of sandalwood and vetiver.
The simple and elegant bottle has changed very little over the years. This sealed bottle of Chanel No. 5 from the 1950s recently sold for over $200.
