All we want for Christmas is Chanel's No. 5 Advent Calendar
Ah, the iconic Chanel No.5. Tipped as one of the world's most famous fragrances, the rich floral scent debuted 100 years ago, making it Chanel's first fragrance to enter the market. It was Gabrielle Chanel's vision to make the perfume as memorable as her dress, so it's no wonder that Gabrielle herself, saw through the perfume-making process.
Captivating beauty fans around the world, the fragrance also counts the late actress Marilyn Monroe as one of its adoring fans. In a rare recording, Marilyn was even heard saying, "You know they ask you questions like, ‘What do you wear to bed? A pajama top? The bottom of pajamas? Or the nightgown?’ So I said Chanel No. 5, because it’s the truth.'"
To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of its iconic perfume, Chanel has pulled out all the stops by launching a No. 5 Holiday 2021 collection, including a new version of the No. 5 Eau de Parfum (S$266).
For the first time, the bottle incorporates recycled glass, while still keeping its sparkling, transparent look, while the box has been redesigned with biodegradable paper pulp.
If you're going big for Christmas this year, you may want to opt for Chanel's No. 5 advent calendar. Retailing at S$1,150, the calendar is shaped like a huge bottle of No. 5 and is available in limited quantities.
The advent calendar includes 27 boxes numbered from 5 to 31, containing some of Chanels' iconic products like the Rouge Allure lipstick inspired by No. 5 and the Le Vernis nail polish in a new shade of red.
