Chanel N°5 Turns 100
Chanel No. 5 may be celebrating its centenary this year, but the venerable fragrance has always managed to stay fresh and relevant. Case in point: Chanel Factory 5, a fun and youthful new collection the storied maison is releasing today. The capsule consists of 17 limited-edition bath and body products with black and white utilitarian packaging inspired by everyday objects like tea tins, paint cans, and lab burettes. The line of body oil and lotion, shower gel, and bath tablets, is available online.
International shoppers can visit in-person experiential pop-up “factories” located in Paris, London, Monterrey, Seoul, Chengdu, Hong Kong, and Kyoto. Each location is punctuated with colorful Pop Art-inspired product shots that serve as a nod to Andy Warhol’s famous depiction of Chanel No. 5 in his “Ad Series 1985.”
